TDP founder and late CM of Undivided AP N T Rama Rao’s family members are all set to approach High Courts of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh to halt the release of controversial direct Ramgopal Varma’s “Laxmi’s NTR”.
The film is slated to be released on March 22.
The two trailers already released by RGV have created a sensation with millions watching on social media within hours of release.
RGV made the film with the main theme of how NTR’s son-in-law and AP CM N Chandrababu Naidu ‘backstabbed’ NTR and took over TDP and CM’s post in 1995 in a political coup with the support of NTR’s family members following the entry of Laxmi Parvathy into NTR’s life, who subsequently married against the wishes of NTR’s family members.
NTR’s sons and daughters are furious at film’s trailers depicting them in bad light and also projecting them as responsible for the humiliation and death of NTR in his last days.
The latest trailer also shows NTR character saying a dialogue, “He (Chandrababu) and my children came together and killed me”.
NTR’s family members are expressing severe anger over this dialogue.
The trailer also shows NTR’s daughter Daggubati Purandeshwari abusing her father NTR and Laxmi Parvathy.
NTR’s family members say since all these scenes in the film are aimed to defame their family, they will approach the court not to release the film till they watch the film prior to release and give consent.
With AP going for Assembly polls in less than two months, NTR’s family members fear that this film will adversely affect the prospects of TDP in elections due to depiction of Chandrababu in bad light.
NTR’s family members have decided to hire reputed lawyers in the country to fight their case against RGV’s Laxmi’s NTR.
They want to block the movie also on ‘political grounds’ saying that the film was produced by leaders belonging to Opposition YSRCP in AP, which is fighting poll battle with TDP and to defeat TDP in elections, they have made Laxmi’s NTR to project TDP, Chandrababu and other NTR’s family members in bad light.
