Kalki 2898 AD is one of the biggest hits of 2024. Unfortunately, this film’s collection has created some tension between the producers and distributors. There has been an ongoing dispute between Kalki 2898 AD producers and overseas distributors Prathyangira Cinemas.
The producer, Aswini Dutt is extremely unhappy with the distributors for the shares received after the film’s run. The main issue is regarding Vyjayanthi Movies reportedly receiving lower amounts from the European markets.
Aswini Dutt is demanding Rs 5.5Cr Europe share against the 3Cr share that has been claimed. So far Prathyangira Cinemas has cleared only 2Cr from the total advance stating further 1Cr is still pending from European local distributors.
Prathyangira Cinemas has even issued a clarification on the issue stating discussions are going on with local distributors through whom Kalki 2898 AD was released in Europe. Prathyangira Cinemas has assured that after these discussions, they will clear dues to the film’s producers after deducting their balance amount from recoverable advance.
Vijaynthi Films is planning to lodge a formal complaint in the Tollywood Chamber to stop the distributor’s next release until the dispute is cleared. Prathyangira Cinema’s next release is Pushpa 2 and the advance bookings have already opened and trending on a great note. It now needs to be seen how this now this issue will be resolved.
