Golden Star Ganesh, who is currently in Chennai to attend the final editing of his directorial venture ‘Kool’, is upset about the allegations made against him by ‘Eno Onthara’ producer M Chandrashekhar in a press that he addressed on Monday. He is just leaving abroad to shoot the songs of his film ‘Kool’, but was really hurt when he came to know that both Chandrashekhar and the film’s director Mussanje Mahesh had made derogatory allegations on him.
Stating in an interview recently the actor said, he had attended the promotional programmes to many television channels like Suvarna news TV, Udaya TV and in many other channels and called some of his television channel friends to Sakleshpur and gave promotional bites about the film. Chandrashekhar, was aware of the well known incident who did not plan anything about the film including the film’s publicity or release.
The actor did not pursue him to pay him the amount of Rs. Seven lacs at any time after the cheque was bounced four times in succession. He sincerely participated in all the promotional programmes of the film. He said that he would release the film on September 10 and had even cancelled his trip to America to promote the film and had even cancelled the Navika programme earlier because Chandru was telling him that he has planned the audio release of the film.
Chandrashekar, Ganesh, Mussanje Mahesh says that the star had lost crores of rupees because he did not promote the film as expected.
Ganesh is certainly not stepping the film further because he cannot be scared at gun point. Since, the director told him that the songs would be shot in overseas, and unfortunately shot the songs in Munnar. He did not have a correct planning for shooting the film at any time. when Ganesh got busily engaged in shooting of his projects ‘Maduve Mane’ and ‘Kool’, he would come out with dates for promotion, press meets and even audio release function.
The director is only talking about me and his so called non co-operative attitude. He should also answer why other artists of the film did not attend his promotional programmes. “I showed so much of interest during the shooting of the film despite bad planning, I personally took responsibility in completing the shooting by requesting other artists and technicians’ says Ganesh”.
Ganesh also made it clear that he had given his dates to Chandrashekhar for a film called ‘Mareyuva Munna’, which was to be directed by Bharat. But he developed serious differences with Bharat and dropped the film. “Chandru had taken a loan of 40 lacs from Mahesh Kothari for ‘Mareyuva Munna’ which was dropped. Sensing that Kothari would demand that amount, Chandru requested me to give him dates for the remake of ‘Kushi’. Though I was not interested to act in a remake of a successful film, he forced his decision on me. But after agreeing to work in the film, I had put my heart and soul in the shooting of the film despite getting the payments at irregular intervals. If this is not co-operation, I dont know what is the meaning of co-operation. Now, since the film had failed, he wants to throw the blame on me’ said the defamed Ganesh.
