On
June
21
(Sunday),
Ram
Gopal
Varma
announced
his
new
production
venture
Murder
based
on
the
caste
killing
aka
honour
killing.
The
film
is
allegedly
based
on
the
killing
of
Pranay
in
2018
by
a
girl
Amrutha's
father,
Maruthi
Rao.
Soon
after
the
film
was
announced,
a
particular
letter
allegedly
written
by
Amrutha,
went
viral
on
the
internet.
In
the
note,
Amrutha
expressed
her
disappointment
with
RGV
for
commercializing
her
life
story.
Though
authenticity
of
the
letter
is
still
unknown,
RGV
responded
to
the
criticism
received
for
him
and
his
film,
Murder,
in
a
series
of
tweets
on
June
22
(Monday).
RGV
On
The
Letter
Ram
Gopal
Varma
began
with
giving
a
crux
of
the
letter.
He
wrote,
"I
wanted
to
answer
to
a
widely
circulated
note
on
the
social
media
claiming
to
be
written
by
Amrutha,
that
she
felt
like
committing
suicide
after
she
came
to
know
that
I
am
making
a
film
called
MURDER
based
on
her
and
her
father's
story.
Whether
Amrutha
wrote
it
or
some
jobless
over
enthusiast
wrote
it,
I
felt
obligated
to
respond
to
it
to
clarify
the
concerns
in
the
minds
of
whoever
is
needlessly
concerned
about
what
I
will
show
in
MURDER."
RGV
Clarifies
His
View
On
Murder’s
Story
Since
he
announced
the
film,
everyone
started
criticising
him
for
showing
the
story
of
Amrutha
on
the
celluloid.
But
RGV
clarified
by
stating,
"Firstly
I
clearly
mentioned
in
the
poster
that
MURDER
is
based
on
a
true
story
and
I
did
not
claim
it
to
be
the
true
story..The
news
upon
which
my
film
is
based
upon
is
in
the
public
domain
for
years
and
has
been
acknowledged
by
the
various
people
involved."
RGV
On
Murder’s
Three
Moral
Dilemma
Ram
Gopal
Varma
stated
that
his
film
Murder
meanders
between
three
moral
dilemmas.
He
wrote,
"My
film
meanders
between
3
moral
dilemmas
1.
On
limit
of
a
father's
control
over
his
child
2.
Should
a
daughter
be
ignored
even
if
she's
presumably
ignorant
about
what's
good
for
her?
3.
Can
it
be
justified
to
take
someone's
life
in
order
to
better
someone
else's
life?"
RGV
On
Premature
Judgements
Ram
Gopal
Varma
stated
that
people
often
judge
him
without
any
knowledge.
He
suggested
that
his
perspective
of
the
incident
of
honour
killing
will
be
known
only
after
the
film's
release.
He
wrote,
"It
is
always
a
perspective
as
in
the
view
of
any
journalist
who
reported
it
or
anyone
who
investigated
it
or
anyone
who
speculated
about
it
and
I
as
a
filmmaker
while
making
MURDER
have
a
right
to
give
my
own
understanding
of
it."
"Foolish
to
assume
that
I
am
going
to
show
someone
involved
in
a
negative
light
because
I
strongly
believe
that
nobody
is
bad
and
only
bad
circumstances
make
people
look
bad
or
make
them
behave
badly,"
Ramu
added.
