The moment Ramgopal Varma released a press note stating about his next movie being based on Bezwada Rowdies with the tile ‘Bezwada Rowdy,’ there is heavy criticism flowing against him from both political and civilian circles.
Along with Vallabhaneni Vamsy and Vangaveeti Radha; even Congress MP Lagadapati Rajagopal has shown his concern on the controversial title. There is a unique voice from all those people who love Vijayawada that the title throws bad focus on the temple city. Although from 1990’s till today, Bezwada is a peace loving city which came out of all those rowdy shades yet Varma says that, his story and script is inspired from few happenings during his stay of 6 years in the city and doesn’t point out in particular to any of the historic names attached to Vijaywada.
When Radha and Vamsy openly declared the war against Varma, this daring film maker seems to be not at all worried saying that, ‘It is my cinema and my story. No one can do me anything. Iam a Rowdy for all the Rowdies.’
Let us see, how will this ‘Bezwada Rowdy’ controversy help ‘Raktha Charitra?’
