'Varma was very close to Bhanu'

Film maker C. Kalyan is the key clue in tracing the absconding Bhanu Kiran, chief suspect in murder of Suri. As CID officials are opening the mouth of C. Kalyan, this is what he said in recent interrogation. According to Kalyan, it is Bhanu Kiran who had coordinated with RGV in selecting the outdoor locations for the film ‘Raktha Charitra.’

As per a media house this is the version of Kalyan. ‘RGV directed Rakta Charitra-I in Hindi during 2008-09 which was produced by Cinerge Production represented by Sheetal Talwar and Madhu Manthena of Mumbai. They processed the film in Balaji Colour Lab owned by me. I purchased the film rights for distribution and exhibition in Telugu. During this time I came in contact with Bhanu Kiran who was close to RGV. We had settled disputes at Balaji Colour Lab with the help of Bhanu Kiran. In 2009 Bhanu Kiran took me to Suri to discuss Rakta Charitra-I and II. Suri asked me about the storyline and enquired whether his character had been portrayed as a villain or a hero. I told him that till the films were finished I couldn’t reveal anything. Later when I went to the NIMS Hospital to meet Suri, Singanamala Ramesh Babu also accompanied me.’ 

Let us see, what RGV has to say on this.
