‘Killing Veerappan’ is one more controversial film from Ram Gopla Varma eagerly waiting to hit the screens on 11th of this month in competition to commercial outing of ‘Bengal Tiger?’ In fact, the plan from RGV to hit the screens yesterday was misfired when Veerappan’s wife Muthu Lakshmi used all her force in stopping the scheduled release.
Later on, Varma was hell bent to go for a final settlement with Muthu Lakshmi in order to oversee a safe release. Whatever the inner issues may be, ‘Killing Veerappan’ can most probably hit the screens on 11th and an official statement on this is expected only when RGV lands in Hyderabad on this Monday.
Apparently ‘Killing Veerappan’ has missed the precious time of this week because except ‘Sankarabharanam’ which opened to divided talk yesterday, there is no significant opposition. From next week, how far the Sandalwood Smuggler can confront powerful ‘Bengal Tiger’ can again put RGV and producers in dilemma. So, there are only half chances for ‘Killing Veerappan’ to see the theaters and of course, the film stars Kannada artists and trade is more focused on Karnataka state alone.
