Cheluvana Chittranna

“I am not big enough to choose the films I work in. I will work in whatever roles that come my way,” said Ganesh after working in S Narayan’s remake ‘Cheluvina Chittara,’ (CC). And who chose him for ‘Cheluvina Chittara,’ is also a matter for aproximately 16 rumours in
Gandhinagar. How the ‘Kala Samrat’ who specialises in 8 departments of his films from preparing ‘chittranna’ to directing them managed to rope in Ganesh for ‘CC’ is the source for another 16 rumours.

Ganesh, after stumbling upon the golden tag post ‘Mungaaru Male,’ never demanded more than Rs 63 lakhs per film. But S Narayan who specialises in ‘social engineering’ managed to get him to act in CC for a pittance. That in spite of the demand for Ganesh’s call-sheet by
producers willing to do the 69 with him err pay the Rs 63 lakh.

Did the ‘powerful friend’ of S Narayan help in getting Ganesh act in the film? That is the strongest and most believable rumour. The ‘friend’ also helped in getting CC released by appearing in an advertisement that falsely claimed that all remake films have been granted entertainment tax relief.

This ‘friend’ of S Narayan also has another ‘friend’ in the film industry. That ‘friend’ is now producing a film and no prizes for guessing who will star in it. Ganesh of course. Rockline Venkatesh who has Ganesh’s call-sheet for August has had to relinquish it in favour of the
friend of the friend of S Narayan.

This August Golden Star Ganesh will be busy acting in a film produced by none other than Radhika.
