Director Ram Gopal Varma’s Lakshmi’s NTR has already gathered plenty of publicity as the film depicts the late NTR’s political life, including how he was backstabbed by his own children and son-in-law.
The film was back in the news after RGV recently announced on Twitter that the Censor Board would review it only after the April 11 elections. After initially stating that he would fight a legal battle with the CBFC, Varma later explained that a misunderstanding between his office and the CBFC had been cleared and the problem was solved. Now, rumours are swirling that the Telugu Desam Party people and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu offered Rs 50 crore to RGV to stop his film’s release.
However, Ram Gopal Varma clarifies, “It’s fake and not true.” The director has already applied for censor certification and is all set to release his film as planned. In the meantime, he has also announced that the audio release event of the film, titled Vennupotu (backstabbing) aka NTR Night will be held in Kadapa.
