Actor Ram, who is basking the success of Kandireega (Telugu), has walked out of his dream project with master film maker Gautham Menon due to a spat with Bellamkonda Suresh, producer of the recently released Kandireega over remuneration issues.

According to sources, the producer tried to withhold the actor's remuneration by keeping it pending till the last hour before the release of Kandireega. Ram later approached MAA for help and after a few rounds of discussions, the dispute was settled recently when the producer agreed to pay the total amount (nearly one crore).

Soon after he got the remuneration, Ram announced that he has made a tough decision by dropping out of the Gautham Menon film, which is also produced by Bellamkonda Suresh. Although the actor’s uncle and producer Sravanthi Ravi Kishore holds 50% rights in Gautam Menon’s film, Ram still did not want to do it. The proposed film is being made in Telugu and Tamil.
