Defamation suit against Puri Jagannath

Responding to the accusations of Puri Jagannath that 'Loafer' Distributors had been blackmailing him, A press release has been issued by the trio to disclose their version of the issue.

Loafer Distributors Kaali Sudheer, Abhishek & Muthyala Ramdas: 'We met Puri Jagannath in his office only once, That too before 'Loafer' release. But, You accused us of forcing you to sign a five films contract with you for compensating the losses. Sir, How did we know that 'Loafer' would be a flop prior to the release. You filed a case against us. Show us at least one proof that we met you on April 14th. Your house have several CCTV Cameras and even a Gunman was present at the gate. Its never easy to step into your house without your approval. Show us the SMSes, Phone Calls and WhatsApp messages if you have received any of them in the past 4 months'.

The Distributors rubbished the claims of Puri that only Rs 3.5 crore was paid by them for 'Loafer' distribution rights. They claim Rs 7.02 crore had been offered to C Kalyan's Sri Subha Swetha Pictures. 'We receive just 20 percent commission for Distribution & We always mention the actual revenue of the movies on Twitter page,' they clarify.

Distributors allege Puri has filed a false case against them fearing they might create hurdles for the release
