Lakshmi director yet to be paid?

There seems to be some trouble brewing between the director and producer of the Shivarajakumar starrer, Lakshmi. According to the director, Raghava Loki, the producer is yet to pay him the remuneration of Rs 8 lakhs. But now the producer isn’t reachable now and is unavailable. Speaking to one of the Kannada film website, Raghava says, “Every time I call him, his phone is either switched off or not reachable.Some of the others in the film crew have also not been paid their remuneration and it is an appalling situation.”
The director who hasn’t been well for a well, says, “During the film's release, I had heavy tension. After the movie's release my tension reached the peak and I was admitted to a hospital. My blood pressure had risen to alarming levels. I am in rest now as advised by the doctors. My only wish is producers settle the payment of the team members who have worked for the movie.”
The director also feels that differences between producers and other team members work against the film. Raghava further told the website, “All of us work for the project and our goal is its success. If producers have any kind of misunderstanding, the continuation of the project and its success becomes suspect. I have been trying to contact the producers of Lakshmi but am unable to get a proper response.”
