Shocking, no words to express: RGV tweets on Suri's murder

Ram Gopal Varma, the film director who directed the movie Raktha Charithra I and its sequel Raktha Charithra II, on Tuesday tweeted, "Its shocking to see a person with whom I have been interacting with for over a year for research of Raktha Charithra just lying there, still and lifeless." His tweet was made in reference to the killing of factionist leader Maddelacheruvu Suri.

The director, also called RGV, said that Suri was inspiration behind the making of Raktha Charithra movie series and he had collected a lot of minute details from the man who was the key suspect in the murder of Telugu Desam Party MLA Paritala Ravi, on factionist wars and background for making of film.

Expressing serious concern and shock, RGV tweeted, “By the time I finished Rakta Charitra, the reality became a film for me and now this incident jolted me back into reality”.

Another Tamil actor Surya, who enacted the role of Suri, termed the incident "unfortunate" and added, "I am shocked... I have no words to express".

According to film aficionados, the murder of Gangula Suryanarayana Reddy alias Maddelacheruvu Suri in cold-blood on Monday will undoubtedly spur RGV into making many more movies on the subject.

Though the two Rakta Charitra movies did not do as well as expected at the box office, there was a lot of hype surrounding the movie.

Though the sequel of the movie annoyed Madelacheruvu Suri and associates in Anantapur district, Varma had claimed that any kind of publicity was good for him and termed the movie ‘just fiction.’
