Seems
like
Sathish
Ninasam's
Chambal
has
gotten
into
trouble
with
regard
to
representation
of
former
IAS
officer
D.K.
Ravi.
The
officer's
mother
Gowramma
has
filed
request
for
Right
to
Information
at
the
Karnataka
High
Court.
She,
along
with
her
husband
Kariyappa
have
pointed
that
Chambal
has
sequences
that
defame
their
son
and
show
him
in
a
bad
light,
blaming
the
filmmaker.
They
have
requested
a
stay
order
against
the
release
of
the
film
from
the
High
Court.
The
film
was
scheduled
to
release
on
February
22,
2019.
According
to
Deccan
Chronicle
reports,
on
Tuesday,
Karnataka
High
Court
issued
notices
to
central
Secretariat
of
Department
of
Publicity
and
Information,
state
Home
Department,
the
Regional
Officer,
Central
Board
of
Film
Certification,
Karnataka
Film
Chamber
of
Commerce,
director
of
the
film
and
the
star
cast,
looking
forward
to
their
response.
D.K.Ravi's
parents
also
said
that
the
filmmakers
refused
to
arrange
a
preview
for
them
despite
requesting
and
neither
did
the
film
chamber
respond
to
their
petitions.
They
have
also
decided
to
withdraw
the
certificate
from
the
Central
Board
of
Film
Certification
for
the
film,
hence
stopping
the
commercial
release
of
the
same.
However,
the
director
of
Chambal,
Jacob
Varghese
and
lead
actor
Sathish
have
told
D.K.Ravi's
parents
that
the
film
is
not
based
on
the
life
of
their
son,
who
passed
away
in
2015
by
committing
suicide.
Jacob
told
Bangalore
Mirror,
"I
cannot
say
that
this
is
somebody's
story.
A
child
which
draws
a
tree
or
a
bus,
is
inspired
by
watching
a
tree
or
a
bus.
You
cannot
say
it
is
the
same
bus
and
the
same
tree
that
the
child
drew."
