Till the other day, Kiran Kumar Koneru, the producer of “Katha, Screenplay, Darshakatvam Appalraju” was a great follower of maverick film director Ramgopal Varma. In fact, he treats Varma as friend, philosopher and guide. His earlier film Siddham was based on an idea given by Varma.
However, Kiran is now hopping mad at RGV, who directed the film KSD Appalraju. For, the film has bombed at the box office and it was RGV who had brought pressure on Kiran to shell down so much money with his stupid idea of making the film.
Before coming into films, Kiran had been into construction business. His father is a big builder in Visakhapatnam and Hyderabad and Kiran himself has taken up several highway projects in Madhya Pradesh before venturing into films by launching the banner “Shreya Films” in the name of his niece. His first film was Jagapathi Babu-starrer Homam and it was a hit. Then he had a legal dispute with UTV on the Telugu remake rights of Hindi film “A Wednesday.”
After Siddham flopped, Kiran was back in the construction business and made a big money there. This has apparently itched RGV to force Kiran to make the film KSD Appalraju. And the result: Kiran lost all the money he had made in the business. Now, Kiran is reportedly accusing RGV of being an iron leg in the Telugu film industry.
