TRS and Brahmin organisations oppose 'Adurs'

Just when film industry is limping back to normalcy after a month long unrest in the state forcing Tollywood to postpone the releases, TRS Chief KCR's daughter Mrs K Kavitha hit out at Junior NTR's movie 'Adurs' slatedto release this Thursday and said that the movie will not be allowed to release in Telangana region.

She claimed that TRS decided to boycott 'Adurs' because Vallabhaneni Vamsi one of the producers of this film is a TDP leader from Vijayawada who is actively supporting the united AP agitation, another producer Kodali Nani an MLA from TDP also tendered his resignation recently protesting central government's statement on Telangana formation and Junior NTR's father N Harikrishna too resigned for his MP post against Chidambaram's statement on the initiation of process of formation of Telangana state.

"Telugu film makers get huge revenue from 'Nizam' area collections for their movie. But they are not ready to accept the demand and sentiments of the people from Telangana region. Leave alone supporting us, they are not even acknowledging our 50 year old Telangana movement. We will not allow the release of NTR's movie unless film makers make a statement expressing their support to the people of Telangana" KCR's daughter Kavitha said.

Interestingly, a few Brahmin organisations in the state have also demanded producers of 'Adurs' to delete the song 'where is the pancha kattu...where isthe pilaka juttu' from the movie as it is hurting the religious customs of the community.

"We will start an agitation with other Brahmin organisations in the state if the song is not deleted immediately. The song makes fun of religious customs of Brahmins. If they don't delete it before release, we will also approach the court to take action" said Mr T Yadagiri Rao, secretary, Sri Vipra Seva Samithi, organisation for the upliftment of Brahmins.

However, actor and President of Movie artiste's association, Murali Mohan requested and TRS and other organisations not to link Telangana issue with the film industry and to allow the release and screening of Adurs.
