He is a Top Editor in Telugu Cinema. His recent film has come under severe criticism for Editing Mistakes. Probably, no other editor has been criticized so much in recent years like this.

He is also the only Editor who charges One Crore per film in Tollywood.

The Producer of this film already paid him 80 lakhs, and he is following up for the remaining payment. It will be very interesting to see how the producer handles this.

The Editing Suite for the film was kept in ITC Koheneur, a Five-Star Hotel in HITEC City. There are rumors in the industry that the Rooms Bill came up around 45 Lakhs and the Food Bill another 60 Lakhs.

When the Editing Suite is in the Hotel, it is natural that the hero, director, Cinematographer, and others will visit the Hotel. Some of them will stay overnight, and the food bill is also naturally high.

These are the things the big films should cut down to control the budget.

This film should have been a profit venture to all those involved if it was produced in the budget initially planned.
