Filmmakers Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK raised eyebrows after a series of cryptic post on their joint X account on Wednesday afternoon.

The creators of shows such as The Family Man and Farzi, among others, wrote that they were “putting their heads down” after being “thrown under the bus” but did not specify what they were referring to. However, Raj and DK’s post comes a day after a Bollywood Hungama report claimed that streaming platform Prime Video was shelving their new show, Gulkanda Tales after their next film, Rakt Brahmand was beset by financial difficulties.

According to Peeping Moon, a Rakt Bramhand executive producer is facing accusations of financial theft on set, after an undisclosed amount (thought to be approximately Rs. 2 crore to Rs. 3 crore) was allegedly stolen from the production.

Raj and DK shared several pictures of them on various sets, accompanied by a long note. They wrote, “Every now and then something happens to shake things up. And you have a choice on how to react. For us that choice of reaction has always been clear — to just put our heads down and continue doing what we have been doing. Work harder. Do better. It is also a reminder to take stock of where we are at (sic).”

The duo also seemed to take a dig at unknown individuals. “S**t will keep happening… someone will steal, someone will throw you under the bus… To break new ground and keep coming to you with new, original stories. That’s been the promise,” they said.

The note ended with the duo addressing cancellation rumours: “Next up: Rakt Brahmand on Netflix; and Gulkanda Tales and The Family Man 3 on Prime.”

On Tuesday, Bollywood Hungama reported that Amazon Prime Video had shelved Gulkanda Tales, the duo’s ambitious upcoming show. Peeping Moon had reported separately that the executive producer of their other show - Rakt Brahmand - is now facing accusations of financial theft on set, with an undisclosed amount ranging from Rs. 2–3 crore allegedly stolen from the production.
