Ram Gopal Varma’s Murder Trailer Out: Film seeks to give audience thrilling experience

Controversial filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma released the trailer of his upcoming film Murder today (July 28)

After his recent movie Power Star, a movie based on Pawan Kalyan, controversial filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma released the trailer of the much-awaited thriller, Murder.

The film stars Srikant Iyengar and Sahithi in lead roles, directed by Anand Chandra. The trailer of Murder shows a father killing his daughter's boyfriend due to caste issues. The trailer is suggestive of the story possessing a few twists and turns, captivating the attention of viewers. The film is allegedly based on Pranay's honour killing in 2018 by his wife Amrutha's father, Maruthi Rao.

When RGV announced the film, a letter, allegedly written by Amrutha, went viral on social media, wherein Amrutha showed her disappointment with the filmmaker for capitalising on her life story. Although, the authenticity of the letter is still unknown.

However, in a tweet, Ram Gopal Varma clarified his views on Murder's narrative and said, "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 believes that nobody is bad, and only terrible circumstances make people look bad or act up.

If the coronavirus crisis is under control, makers will release the film in theatres. Otherwise, the film will see its release on RGV World Theatre. The filmmaker’s decision has not been disclosed yet.
