Rakta Charitra: Ramgopal Varma Threatened - JustTollywood.com News

Controversy’s favourite child Ramgopal Varma has been receiving legal notices and threat calls right from the beginning of the announcement of his ambitious faction movie ‘Rakta Charitra’. The latest news is that family of slained faction leader Obul Reddy of Anantapur have raised their questions on the genuineness of the portrayal of characters pertaining to their family in the movie.

It might sound complicated but aren’t controversies supposed to be complicated? As ‘Rakta Charitra’ is inspired from the feud between Paritala Ravi and Suri, it also involves other characters including the aforesaid Obul Reddy who is one of the main opponents of Paritala Ravi. In real life, Obul Reddy was a strong political figure who was assassinated in Hyderabad and so were his father and brother. Thinking that their family has been portrayed in a bad way, the sisters of Obul Reddy, Uma Rani and Usha Rani, have sent a legal notice to RGV through their lawyer informing him to show them ‘Rakta Charitra’ before the release.

Reacting to their allegations, the calm and straightforward RGV reiterated his stand that the movie is only inspired and a fictional account of the real story of the people involved in Anantapur. RGV said he received threat calls telling he would be killed, if the movie is released. Unafraid, RGV firmly gave a counter saying he will release the movie without showing it to anybody, even if Obul Reddy’s ghost haunts him.

Controversies or none, ‘Rakta Charitra’ is boiling hot with a lot of expectations. The movie’s coming to theaters in last week of September.
