The arrest of Kannada actor Darshan sparked a controversy in the film circles. Amidst these developments, producer Umapathy Gowda has ignited controversy by making startling claims about the alleged mistreatment of Sandalwood stars like Sudeep and the late Puneeth Rajkumar by actor Darshan, who is currently under arrest.
Darshan was arrested in connection with the Renuka Swamy murder case. Renuka happens to be a fan of Darshan and the case is currently getting a lot of attention.
In an interview, Umapathy revealed that many producers and technicians have applauded him for speaking out against Darshan. Umapathy opened up that Darshan has created a ruckus over the Lamborghini Urus. It is Umpathy who paid the advance amount. At the same time, Umapathy also said how Darshan quarreled with him regarding the liquor bills in Hubbili once during a party. Reportedly, the liquor bill is around 9 Lakh rupees.

He noted that while only a few individuals, including Jaggesh, Dhruva Sarja, and Ravi Varma, have publicly condemned Darshan, many prominent figures in the industry, such as Sudeep and the late Puneeth Rajkumar, have chosen to remain silent despite facing issues with Darshan.
Umapathy pointed out, “On many occasions, Sudeep chose to remain silent despite facing the brunt of Darshan. Same with Puneeth Rajkumar. If they had taken appropriate measures earlier, the situation could have been averted. I tell them there is no need to be silent.”
He also referenced a 2021 controversy in which he claimed that Darshan sought ownership of a property he had purchased from Puneeth Rajkumar and Raghavendra Rajkumar on Residency Road. This accusation adds another layer to the ongoing disputes involving Darshan and highlights the broader issues within the Sandalwood industry.
