Devil Movie Controversy: Another Problem for the Producer?

Nandamuri Kalyan Ram’s career is set to soar with several promising movies lined up, one of which is titled ‘Devil.’ Unfortunately, this film has stirred controversy due to a significant issue: the removal of the director’s name from the poster.

Originally helmed by Naveen Medaram, creative differences led to his name being erased, with the producer, Abhishek Nama, taking credit for directing the movie instead. This conflict resulted in legal action initiated by Naveen, creating hurdles for the film.

Alongside this controversy, ‘Devil’ faces challenges in closing theatrical deals. Despite post-production being underway and shooting ongoing, the buzz around the movie remains lackluster due to the controversy. This buzz has hindered the producer’s efforts to secure theater deals.

The film stars Samyuktha Menon opposite Kalyan Ram, portraying a spy in a period backdrop setting. However, the unfolding controversies and struggles in closing theatrical business have cast a shadow on the film’s prospects. While production progresses, the negative attention surrounding the movie’s controversies poses a significant challenge for its success.
