Do not watch RGV’s Veerappan, says brigand's wife
FollowThe wife of slain brigand Veerappan has alleged that the Ram Gopal Varma-directed movie on her husband is not a true portrayal of his life.
"As a wife, only I know his personal life. I really do not know how this film director has made this movie. I have lived with him for four years and my two daughters were born in the forest. Nobody knows his personal life and his background. I appeal to people not to watch this movie," she told reporters here.
The movie was released in Hindi and Tamil.
Stating that she would make a film based on "facts" on Veerappan in future, she questioned noted police officer K Vijay Kumar's efforts to write a book on the operation.
Special Task Force Chief K Vijay Kumar had led the team that killed Veerappan in 'Operation Cocoon' in 2004.
"He joined the final leg of the search (of my husband). Initially, it was (former IG) Devaram. After that, several police officials joined the search. If Devaram had written that book, I would have accepted it," she said.
