“Olle Kelsa Madakku Bidalla, Taavu Olledu Madalla” – this is not only Kannada cinema industry but also in other places. There are 50 percent crooks in the cinema industry. I have lost 100 crores in this Kannada and Hindi cinema industry. When I announced setting of film studio and film city, suddenly government also made announcement to set up such things. They do not go further and stop people like me from doing such good work for the industry stated Ashok Kheney adjusting his belt. I am upset on what’s happening. For money fight goes on. The child influencing the mother for milk is the status. I see psychic people he pointed.


This is Ashok Kheney speaking at the teaser launch of ‘Devravne Budu Guru’ at Renukamba Digital theatre. He recalled forecast he made for Amitabh Bachchan,  Deepika Padukone and Kichcha Sudeep turning true. Today I tell that Akul Balaji will be also a super star in three years said Ashok Kheney.


Ashok Kheney looked unconnected to the occasion also said producer Sudhir of the film not to come to him and told him Rs.75 lakhs is not enough for a film. It is budget of art films what Basanth Kumar Patil does. The people don’t see such films. Increase your budget to Rs.2 crores then it will be a fair commercial film he advised.


Why Ashok Kheny dropped in at the teaser launch of the film? That is because chatter box director Pratham banner is ‘Nice Concept’ – NICE as we all know is the brand name of Ashok Kheney.
