Those who know Trivikram Srinivas in the industry, knows that he has been comfortable taking advance only from the banner of Haarika Haasini but never from the other banners.
Once he took advance from the Mytri Movie Makers but cancelled the agreement paying them back the amount along with huge interest.
Trivikram is not comfortable holding advance from any banner for longer time, as per a widely known opinion.
DVV Danayya also once paid him something in advance. But when Trivikram proposed to return the same, Danayya negated to take back. He is not pressuring him to do a film immediately and so that is still with Trivikram.
When Geeta Arts tried to lock him paying huge advance during "Ala Vaikunthapuramulo", he negated the proposal and joined hands with Haarika Haasini only.
Under these circumstances it is revealed by some reliable sources that Trivikram has taken Rs 1 Cr as an advance from Kalyan Ram's NTR Arts banner. This happened during the shoot of Aravinda Sametha.
No one knows if NTR asked him to do a film on his brother’s banner or Trivikram willfully signed on the dotted line as gratitude towards NTR for doing a film with him after the disaster like "Agnathavasi".
Some believe that Trivikram might have taken the advance towards meeting some construction costs of his house at that time.
Now Trivikram has two commitments other than that of Haarika Haasini. So, he wanted to do NTR's 30th film in association with Haarika and NTR Arts. But now the film is shelved. But still Trivikram has to do a film on Kalyan Ram's NTR Arts banner.
