The
displacement
of
Upendra's
Godfather
from
some
theatres
is
now
getting
a
political
colour.
Recently,
distributor
of
the
Upendra
starrer
movie
Prasad
had
requested
the
Karnataka
Film
Chamber
of
Commerce
to
intervene
and
resolve
the
issue,
as
many
theatres
were
planning
to
replace
his
movie
with
Telugu
movie
Julayi
and
Ek
Tha
Tiger,
which
is
releasing
this
week.
Now,
the
story
seems
to
be
taking
a
new
turn
because
the
speculation
on
some
vested
interest
behind
the
displacement
of
the
movie
is
doing
rounds.
Grapevine
is
abuzz
with
the
news
that
Prasad's
straight-forward
attitude
has
made
many
enemies
in
the
industry.
In
fact,
a
few
months
ago
he
made
a
strong
statement
against
a
reputed
family
of
Sandalwood
for
which
he
received
a
lot
of
flak
from
a
section
of
people
in
the
industry.
Now,
it
is
said
that
those
irritated
by
his
speech
on
the
family
are
taking
this
opportunity
to
put
him
in
trouble
by
helping
other
language
movies
to
release
and
displace
his
Godfather.
It
is
not
a
surprise
that
none
-
including
his
friends
-
are
coming
to
give
him
a
helping
hand
to
bail
out
from
the
situation.
Meanwhile,
Godfather
starring
Upendra,
Soundarya
Shreyasi
and
Catherine
Teresa
has
done
reasonable
business
at
the
Box
Office.
The
movie,
which
was
made
with
the
budget
of
Rs
4.5
crore,
was
sold
for
approximately
Rs
10
crore.
It
had
collected
Rs
4.6
crore
in
one
week
but
it
is
yet
to
recover
the
invested
money
of
distributor
Prasad
of
Samarth
Ventures.
