Producer Abhishek Nama acquired the worldwide theatrical rights for Vijay Deverakonda’s “World Famous Lover” from producer KS Rama Rao for a substantial sum. Unfortunately, the film did not perform well at the box office, resulting in significant financial losses for Abhishek Nama.
In a surprising move on September 5, 2023, he took to his production house’s Twitter handle, Abhishek Pictures, to request compensation from Vijay Deverakonda for the losses incurred by “World Famous Lover.”
This decision, however, sparked criticism as many felt that Abhishek Nama should have initially sought compensation from the film’s producer, KS Rama Rao. The public airing of this issue raised questions among Twitter users about whether Abhishek Nama would have made the same request to a more established or influential actor, or if his approach was influenced by the stature of Vijay Deverakonda in the industry.
