Actor Darshan stands as one of the Kannada film industry’s most prominent stars, boasting a vast array of blockbuster hits and an extensive fan base in Karnataka. His recent film, Kaatera, directed by Tharun Sudhir and featuring Aradhana Ram and Jagapathi Babu, has further cemented his success, recently celebrating a 50-day run in theatres. However, amidst this triumph, a feud has erupted between Darshan and Roberrt producer Umapathy Srinivasa.
Their relationship, once amicable, soured when Umapathy became embroiled in a forgery case. Allegations arose when Umapathy asserted that he had originally proposed the title for Kaatera and intended to produce the film. Darshan addressed this controversy during a recent event, subtly refuting Umapathy’s claims by stating that he, not the producer, had suggested the film’s title. He questioned why anyone would relinquish involvement in such a promising project.
In response, Umapathy defended himself, acknowledging the financial challenges he faced and expressed his joy at the film’s success under Rockline Venkatesh’s production. He clarified that while Darshan proposed the Kaatera title, it was he who bore the financial burden of registering it. Additionally, Umapathy recounted his struggles with the film Roberrt, expressing his initial intent to release it on OTT platforms to recoup losses, only for Darshan to advocate for a theatrical release.
Undeterred, Umapathy asserted his commitment to justice, underscoring his role in the creation and registration of titles for Kaatera and Sindhoora Lakshmana. Despite the rift between them, he remains resolute in defending his rights and interests.
The ongoing dispute between Darshan and Umapathy underscores the complexities of the film industry, where creative partnerships can unravel amidst financial and legal challenges. As both parties stake their claims, the resolution of this conflict remains uncertain, leaving observers intrigued by the unfolding drama behind the silver screen.
