Hyderabad,Dec. 2: Mr Y.S. Konda Reddy, a relative of late chief minister Dr Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy approached AP High Court seeking a direction not to screen the film Raktha Charitra 2, directed by Ramgopal Varma.
Mr Konda Reddy, a resident of Sagar Society in Banjara Hills in Hyderabad, brought to the notice of the court that he has learnt that the story of the movie revolves around a negative character deliberately made to resemble YSR. He said there was a public furore after former chief minister NTR was portrayed in poor light in Raktha Charitra 1.
He contended that projecting Dr Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy in poor light would affect the reputation of the late CM and his family. He said that scenes portraying Dr Reddy in a poor light are liable to be deleted.
He also contended that the certification of the disputed film by the Censor was illegal and violative of Section 5 B of the Cinematograph Act 1952 and also violative of Article 21 of the Constitution.
He urged the court to direct the Censor Board to review the film certification to Raktha Charitra 2 by deleting the objectionable scenes and till then not to permit the screening of the movie.
