Manish Shah, the owner of 'Goldmines Telefilms', has been a controversial figure for a long time. His absence from the Hindi release of Allu Arjun's 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' has sparked discussions on the internet.

Despite the massive success of his collaboration with Mythri Movie Makers for Pushpa: The Rise, he has not been made a part of the sequel. This fallout originated from a dispute in revenue sharing between the two partners.

Manish Shah, who had bought the Hindi dubbing rights for Rs.30 crores, refused to share the Rs.100 crores earnings with Mythri, claiming he was the sole reason behind the Hindi version's success.

This led to Mythri breaking their partnership with the infamous producer.

This is not the first time Manish Shah has used these tactics. He is known to leverage producers into paying him a few crores, threatening to release the Hindi dubbing of films on YouTube when their Hindi remakes are made.

Upon the release of 'Shehzada', Manish Shah forced the producers of 'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo' to pay him a whopping sum of Rs.8 crores to not release the Hindi dub on YouTube.

Social media has been divided on how to portray his character. One user said, "Manish Shah knows how to capitalize on his assets."

Another user criticized his extortive ways by commenting, "He's holding the industry hostage!"

The fans of 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' are mostly relieved at this news, as they eagerly await to see the film's performance without the involvement of Goldmines Telefilms in Hindi.
