I took Bhanu's help: Kalyan

HYDERABAD:Controversial film producer C Kalyan on Tuesday admitted that it was he who requested Bhanu to intervene and settle the dispute between the two sons of Vemuri Subhas Chandra Bose of Annapurna Packaging Pvt Ltd, Vijayawada.
“I came to know through a newspaper report that Bose knew Suri. Since I also knew Suri and Bhanu, I asked the latter to settle the issue,” Kalyan said.It may be mentioned here that Suri had threatened to kill Bhanu after coming to know about his aide’s role in settling the Annanpurna dispute without his knowledge. Finally, this resulted in Bhanu killing Suri as he feared that the latter would eliminate him.
What prompted Kalyan to come before the media, which he had been evading for a long time, was the provocative statements made by another film producer Natti Kumar against him earlier in the day. Kalyan used the choicest epithets against Natti Kumar, going to the extent of calling him a ‘pichchi kukka’ (a mad dog). Kalyan confessed that he did have a friendship with Bhanu, but said that he never thought that the gangster would kill Suri. Asked how he got acquainted with Bhanu, he said it was during the making of Rakta Charitra-1 , since Bhanu had wanted to see the rushes of the film in his lab. Kalyan, however, said it was through Bhanu that he got to know Suri, whom he had met at Nims.
Interestingly, Kalyan said he himself would direct Rakta Charitra-3 and Bhanu’s character would also be included in the film.
