An ugly war broke out between senior cinematographer Chota K Naidu and commercial director Harish Shankar. Chota K Naidu on multiple occasions spoke about Harish Shankar and how they both didn’t manage to gel well during the shoot of Ramayya Vastavayya. Chota said that he has tried his best to convince Harish Shankar but the director was adamant to take any inputs. “So I worked with his input. I didn’t say a word to him from then and completed the work,” said Chota K Naidu.
These comments didn’t go well with Harish Shankar and he posted a long note. In this, he said that the movie was released 10 years back and on multiple occasions, he has seen Chota talking about the movie even when the interviewer hasn’t asked about it. “You have given ten interviews in this span and I gave over a hundred interviews. I never discussed about you in any of my interviews. But you have insulted me in your interviews,” said Harish Shankar.
He further suggested to leave this matter now. Otherwise, Harish Shankar is open for debate on any platform.
