Shahid Kapoor’s friendship with Madhu Mantena costs his manager

Shahid Kapoor’s manager, who had been with him for five years, is no more a part of his team. While the reasons are not known yet, insiders allege it could be the doings of Shahid’s bestie Madhu Mantena

Shahid Kapoor is known to share a great rapport with producer Madhu Mantena for a long time now. The actor depends a lot on Madhu’s advice. In fact, initially he was not convinced about doing Shaandaar, but it was only on Madhu’s advice that he went ahead with it. The latter is one of the owners of Phantom Films that produced the film.

Now it seems Shahid’s close proximity to Madhu seems to have cost his manager of five years, Kruti Tolia, dearly. In the past, Shahid has spoken about how much he trusts his manager, and called him his “oxygen”. But it has been learnt that Kruti is no more a part of his team.

Rumour mills say that Madhu had his share of differences with Kruti in the recent past and that he got her removed from Shahid’s golden circle of friends and associates. A common friend said, “Yes, Kruti has moved on from Shahid’s team. We don’t know what went wrong. Someone new has already been assigned.”We sent a text message to Madhu but he didn’t reply.
