Leading Tollywood producer Natti Kumar has denied reports claiming that he has links with Bhanu Kiran, the prime accused in the murder of factionist leader Maddelacheruvu Suri.

In an interview to a private channel, Natti Kumar stated that he was not part of any land settlements and film financing that Bhanu Kiran and Suri were involved in. He also said that he was ready to give any information in this connection to the probing agency, if needed.

Meanwhile, he alleged that producer C. Kalyan had benefitted from funding by Bhanu Kiran and Suri. "Both of them are involved in the production of films belonging to C. Kalyan of Balaji Colour Labs. I have substantial evidence to prove this," he stated adding that the CID has not called him for the investigations so far.
