The industry was abuzz with rumours that director Viplove Koneti passed away on Tuesday. The young man from Tirupathi decided to enter Tollywood and made his debut with Hithudu starring Jagapathi Babu and Meera Nandan. The movie has been completed, but not yet released. The filmmakers plan to release it in a couple of weeks.
On Tuesday, rumours spread about the director’s death and even some sections of the media carried this news. On Wednesday, Viplove replied on his Facebook page about his ill-health and that he is alive. “I fell ill, was hospitalised and cut myself off from all phone contact. TRUE. Rest is a mystery.
And I love death. I have openly confessed this in my writings, art and talks. I learnt a lot from death, which I have observed at close quarters while I was studying medicine. DEATH is no joke for me. This is all because of a disturbance that I could not control and right now, I’m trying to control. I will try tougher measures so that such ‘disturbances’ do not disturb other people (sic),” wrote Viplove.
