Koratala Siva’s Acharaya and Venu Udugula’s Virata Parvam have a connection. The two films are laced with thoughts of Naxals. However the same subject has now become a subject of trouble for these two films. The reason behind the trouble is with the recent Maoist ambush that happened in Chhattisgarh where 22 CRPF Jawans were killed. Subsequently, there was a public outcry among the massacre, now Hyderabad based organization Anti Terrorism Forum has come forward in support of the martyr CRPF Jawans.
The Hyderabad based organization Anti Terrorism Forum has come forward urging the Censor Board not to issue Censor clearance for Acharya and Virata Parvam. Since both Acharya, Virata Parvam deals with Naxal thought process and film which encourage such radical views are to be discouraged, says the Anti Terrorism Forum. The Forum met the Censor Board and issued a statement which s now doing the rounds on social media.
Acharya and Virata Parvam are slated for release on May 13 and April 30 respectively. With the Anti Terrorism Forum prohibiting the release of these two films, how CBFC will react on this is to be seen.
