Producer Elred Kumar fires a salvo at director Gautham Menon!

Just days after an open slugfest between director Karthick Naren, who shot to fame with his debut film Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru (2016), and ace film director and producer Gautham Vasudev Menon came to an end on the social media platform Twitter, director and producer Elred Kumar has taken a potshot at former partner Gautham Vasudev Menon.

It may be recalled that Elred Kumar and Gautham Menon had jointly produced films at one point in time. The two had been good friends, before parting ways after a bitter fight. Elred Kumar and his partner Jayaraman had filed a case against Gautham Menon and P Madan, saying that the duo had taken money from their firm, R S Infotainment, in 2008, promising that they would do a film for them. However, Gautham Menon and Madan had not kept their promise, Kumar had alleged in his plea in the court and had asked them to either make a film for them or return the money they had taken as advance. The dispute had caused a lot of heart burn and had left the two as bitter rivals.

In his tweet, Elred Kumar said, “We first lodged complaint against HIM stating he was deceitful and brought to notice of media. Still many fall a prey to HIM. @karthicknaren_M boldly opened up.many who are devastate by HIM and haven’t bought to limelight.Wake up at least to save others from the trap. #CunningFox”

Gautham hasn’t responded as yet to Elred’s harsh tweet.
