PIL Against RRR Release In Telangana High Court

Public interest litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Telangana High Court against the film ‘RRR‘ directed by SS Rajamouli. The petition was filed by a woman – Alluri Soumya of Satyavarapu Undrajavaram in the West Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh.

The petitioner alleged that the movie intentionally distorted the history of Legendary Freedom Fighters – Alluri Sita Ramaraju and Komaram Bheem in a bid to insult them and hurt the sentiments of scores of their followers. The petitioner demanded that the film should not be given a censor certificate and a stay be imposed on the release.

The petition came before the bench of Justice Ujjal Bhuyan and Justice Venkateswara Reddy to hear the case. Justice Ujjal Bhuyan told that the CJ bench would hear the case since it is a PIL. Rajamouli always maintained that it is a fabricated story about the time where both the leaders have disappeared and no one knows where they are and what happened to them.

The movie was supposed to release on January 7th but the third wave in the country has forced the postponement. It has to be seen what the court decides on this issue.
