Just
recently,
Ram
Pothineni's
next
with
Kollywood
director
N
Lingusamy
was
announced.
The
project
tentatively
titled
#RAPO19
will
be
backed
by
Srinivasaa
Chitturi
under
his
production
banner
Srinivasaa
Silver
Screen.
Well,
as
fans
await
an
update
of
the
film,
what
has
grabbed
major
attention
is
the
latest
news
about
the
film's
director
landing
in
trouble.
According
to
reports,
renowned
producer
Gnanavel
Raja
of
Studio
Green
has
filed
a
complaint
against
Lingusamy
for
not
directing
a
film
under
their
banner
despite
taking
a
huge
paycheck
in
advance,
and
joining
hands
with
the
Srinivasaa
Silver
Screen
banner
for
Ram
Pothineni's
film.
Reportedly,
the
complaint
has
been
filed
with
the
Telugu
Producers
Council,
Telugu
Film
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
the
South
Indian
Film
Chamber
of
Commerce.
Notably,
Raja
during
his
interaction
with
a
leading
entertainment
tabloid,
has
stated
that
Lingusamy
can
work
for
his
Telugu
project
once
the
director
is
done
with
his
current
commitments
with
Studio
Green.
Well,
with
the
news
now
taking
the
internet
by
storm,
many
are
juxtaposing
the
event
with
Shankar-Lyca
Productions'
legal
battle
over
Kamal
Haasan's
Indian
2.
Another
section
of
social
media
users
is
also
speculating
that
#RAPO19
might
get
shelved
if
the
issue
is
not
solved
amicably.
