Ram
Gopal
Varma,
one
of
the
most
talented
filmmakers
in
Telugu
cinema,
is
currently
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
his
highly
controversial
Lakshmi's
NTR,
which
revolves
around
the
relationship
between
former
Andhra
Pradesh
Chief
Minister
NTR
and
his
second
wife
Lakshmi
Parvathy.
The
film,
touted
to
be
the
'real
story'
of
the
mass
leader,
has
ruffled
a
few
feathers
owing
to
its
gripping
and
politically
charged
trailer.
Shortly
after
the
film
became
the
talk
of
the
town,
a
Telugu
Desam
Party
(TDP)
activist
approached
the
Election
Commission
and
demanded
a
ban
on
it
for
showing
Chandrababu
Naidu
in
'bad
light'.
The
activist
also
urged
the
EC
to
take
the
matter
seriously
as
it
could
affect
the
Andhra
Pradesh
elections.
Now,
the
EC
has
responded
to
the
controversy.
In
his
statement,
the
Chief
Electoral
Officer
said
that
the
body
is
set
to
examine
the
film
and
decide
whether
it
violates
the
'Model
Code
Of
Conduct'.
"Will
check
if
the
content
influences
the
voters
or
election
result,
whether
if
it
violates
Model
Code
of
Conduct?
A
decision
will
be
taken
only
after
reaching
a
conclusion," he
added.
The
statement
clearly
indicates
that
the
EC
has
not
taken
a
decision
about
the
film
yet.
As
such,
this
development
might
make
RGV
a
bit
nervous.
While
the
fate
of
Lakshmi's
NTR
still
hangs
in
balance,
RGV
is
pretty
confident
that
things
will
work
out
fine
as
he
has
shown
'facts'.
In
fact,
during
the
pre-release
function,
he
had
said
that
the
film
would
reach
the
audience
even
if
he
is
killed.
In
case
you
did
not
know,
Lakshmi's
NTR
features
theatre
artiste
P
Vijay
Kumar
as
NTR
while
Kannada
beauty
Yagna
Shetty
plays
Lakshmi
Parvathy.
Actor
Sritej
too
is
a
part
of
the
cast.
So,
will
Lakshmi's
NTR
be
able
to
keep
its
date
with
fans?
