Skanda, a film starring
ram and
boyapati, has hit the theatres and delivered a powerful blow. The hot issue is the politically charged conversations and the scenarios that have strong resemblances to the current events. For instance, the
arrest of
srikanth is comparable to the debate and
event involving Satyam Ramalingaraju.
Chantam, Nyayam, Dharmam, Vurukuntundemo...A
lawyer refers to
srikanth, who was imprisoned after being wrongfully detained, as "Aa Daivam Vurukodu." These are only some. The
movie has a number of potent one-liners and dialogue. The talks are said to be politically oriented and written to support a
party in AP.
Some of the speech in the
movie, spoken by
ram, the protagonist, criticises the administrative shortcomings. Even the film's baddies are shown as chief ministers of
telugu states. All of these are fueling the rumours that
skanda is the victim of political favouritism. Before the
2019 elections,
boyapati is believed to have produced
music videos and advertising for the TDP. His earlier flicks
legend and
akhanda also have incisive
language with some political undertones. This may be the cause of the current craze towards
skanda talks.
Similar controversy recently erupted over Pawan Kalyan's brother, and politician Ambati Rambabu specifically attacked the
movie and Pawan. We'll have to wait and
watch whether any political officials from the ruling
party reply to the
skanda discussions and fuel this debate.
