Ahead of the film’s audio launch in Vijayawada on Saturday, Ram Gopal Varma’s Vangaveeti has landed in trouble. A petition was filed with the Hyderabad High Court on Wednesday, citing that the director’s film diverts from facts.
A notice was sent to the director and the film’s producer Dasari Kiran Kumar seeking a response by Friday, December 2, for when a hearing is scheduled.
Justice Challa Kodanda Ram heard the petition which wanted the court to ensure that the film isn’t sanctioned a censor certificate. It is alleged that the film’s team released the teaser and trailer without the permission of the censor board.
The film, Vangaveeti is based on the life of slain politician and faction leader Vangaveeti Ranga whose death in 1988 triggered a lot of unrest in the state, especially around the areas of Vijayawada with bandhs, and means of transport coming to a halt.
