The people of the city have been living in harmony for decades. But the proposal by film-maker Ramagopal Varma to make a film with title ‘Vangaveeti’ is evoking fear in the hearts of locals again.
Gandhi Global Family State convenor Naraharisetti Srihari, in a letter to the Vijayawada Police Commissioner, said that the people of the city were worried that the new film by Mr. Varma may bring back the bad memories of days that followed the assassination of then MLA Vangaveeti Mohana Ranga Rao.
He said people of the two rival groups were currently living in harmony “like brothers.”
“But they are afraid that the old hatred may surface again,” he said.
He said that the Gandhi Global Family would initiate legal action to prevent the making of the film.
Vijayawada has become the capital of the new State and Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu was also saying that there was no place for any form of disturbances in the city.
Mr. Srihari said that he was also appealing to Mr. Varma to reconsider his decision.
