The Telugu Film Directors Association (TFDA) has reportedly decided to take serious action against producer Bellamkonda Suresh for allegedly beating young director Santosh Srinivas. The director lodged a complaint against the producer with TFDA which has decided to take stern action against Suresh.
The association has begun a preliminary inquiry into the episode and likely to question both Srinivas and Suresh soon. Though it was earlier heard that the producer slapped the director over some differences in connection with his remuneration, it is now said that the issue pertained to the script of Kandireega 2. It is learnt that the director refused to change the script that was agreed to by the producer before launching shooting of the film.
Bellamkonda Suresh reportedly told the directors association that he had only got into an argument with Srinivas. However, the director informed the association that Suresh had even threatened to kill him. Suresh has been given another chance to meet the directors association on Tuesday to settle the issue.
"It definitely is a serious issue. However, the association will not jump to any conclusion. If Bellamkonda Suresh is guilty, the association will not hesitate to take appropriate action against him," TFDA president V. Sagar said.
