NTR’s portrayal invites TDP ire for filmmaker Ram Gopal VermaThe recent release of Ram Gopal Verma’s film “Rakht Charitra” has raised anger and protest since it portrays former Chief Minister of the State of Andhra Pradesh, NT Rama Rao to be a man who gave encouragement to violence.The NTR fans and leaders of the TDP along with its workers were enraged after the film’s release, though; there was an uneasy calm in the faction-ridden Anantapur district.
The movie is based on the 30-year-old disputes between factions in Anantapur district which shows violence started by the then warlords.
The central characters are played by Shatrughan Sinha who plays NT Rama Rao, Vivek Oberoi who portrays the character of former monister Paritala Ravi. He was allegedly assassinated by a hired killer Moddu Seenu.
There was one more character who was Paritals’s rival and stayed in jail for many years for his involvement in the Jubilee Hills bomb blast case. This was done with the intent of killing Ravi who escaped.
There was no reaction, however, by Ravi’s widow Paritala Sunita and Suri who is a Congress leader presently.
