The regional censor officer of Bengaluru K Nagaraju asked Rs.50000 bribe for censoring two songs of ‘Satyananda’ and Rs.5 lakh on censoring the entire film alleged the producer and director of the film Madan Patel addressing the media on Sunday evening at Green House Raj Milan.

All the cameras are on – now capture this – The regional censor officer K Nagaraju demanded bribe stated Madan Patel  and immediately sought for his removal from the position. The asking for removal is similar to how Madan Patel demanded change of Judge who is hearing his case on ‘Satyananda’.

Taking time from the ‘Passenger’ media address Madan Patel attack was first on Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce and Kannada Film Producers Association. Then he alleged of bride demand by Regional Censor officer K Nagaraju, further Patel said Sa Ra Govindu sends letters in English. I don’t know whether he is ‘Gandsa athava Hengsa’ in sending this kind of letter to me stated Madan Patel with anger outburst.

There is no problem from Hyderabad and Chennai Censor officers in clearing the ‘Satyananda’ film. It is only in Bengaluru this officer creates problems.

Pertinent issue what Madan Patel asked was why regional censor officer on a complaint against me to KFCC send copy of the letter to Nityananda Swamy.

For this Kannada cinema industry what I have done VP Baligar and Muddu Mohan describes better. This industry is not in favor of the producers. Writing a letter seeking support in the case of ‘Satyananda’ film on September 19, Sa Ra Govindu in English answers on November 22 that too in English. What does it mean asks Patel.
