A teaser of a small Telugu film with not-so-popular actors, titled Razakar was released a couple of days ago. It is a periodic drama depicting events in Nizam's Hyderabad before it acceded to the Indian Union in 1948. Now this teaser which showcases the genocide of Hindus in the Nizam region at that time has ignited controversy.
The teaser, which claims to be based on true stories, portrays alleged atrocities against Hindus committed by the Razakars in their pursuit of promoting Islam and establishing 'Turkistan' without merging the Hyderabaregion into a united India. The film is bold and brutal in showing the violence against Hindus along the lines of films like 'The Kashmir Files and 'The Kerala Story'.
Telangana minister KT Rama Rao (KTR) said that some "intellectually bankrupt jokers of the BJP" are doing their best to instigate communal polarization and will take the matter with censor board. He tweeted, "Some intellectually bankrupt jokers of the BJP are doing their best to instigate communal violence and polarisation for their political propaganda in Telangana. We will take up the matter with the censor board and also the Telangana police to ensure that the law & order situation of Telangana is not affected,"
'Razakar' movie, produced by BJP leader Gudur Narayana Reddy, was unveiled by another suspended BJP leader and Goshamahal MLA T Raja Singh. Yata Satyanarayana has directed the film. Now the film has instigated a new war between TRS and BJP.
