When most of the releases backed out from the race due to one or the other reason, Prakash Raj’s ‘Payanam’ was wedged between serious situations due to some financial crisis. According to the sources, Prakash Raj was supposed to return back a whooping amount of Rs.50Lakhs to Mahendra Kumar Jain of Film Fabricators Company (Producer of ‘Renigunta’). When Prakash Raj submitted one of his property to the court, it wasn’t accepted as the property was reportedly under the custody of Prakash Raj’s ex-wife Lalitha Kumar. Apparently, on the spur of moment, Lalitha Kumar accepted to give away the property to Prakash Raj and the court lifted the interim ban on this movie.
