Brahmanandam’s comic timing and his punch lines are unmatched in today’s times. But when it comes to real life, Brahamanandam is said to be stingier than the character played by Kota Srinivasa Rao in Aha Na Pellanta. He is said to think at least a dozen times before shelling out a penny. Apparently, he is equally particular about his remuneration. He is said to be totally upfront while demanding the amount. While he deserves every penny that he charges, one expects him to be equally professional when it comes to paying his dues. But the talk in the industry is that he is avoiding the producers of his son Gautham’s film Basanti. It is a known fact that the film’s release was delayed due to financial troubles. At that time, Brahmanandam came into the picture and assured them that he would co-produce the film.
Once he got into the act, Brahmanandam pushed the publicity of the film and also got top heroes to release the songs of the film. Now, one does not know if he did it for his son or if he liked the final cut of the movie, but Brahmanandam did put in a lot of effort and garnered a lot of goodwill for the film. However, Basanti turned out to be a box-office dud and the makers incurred losses. Naturally, they expected Brahmanandam to shell out the share that he had promised before the film’s release. But ever since the film flopped, he is said to be out of reach for Basanti’s makers. Poor producers are clueless about making him give his share.
