Uyyalawada descendants are misguided, says Chiranjeevi

For the first time, Chiranjeevi has opened up about the controversy which has been raging for the last few weeks.

He said that Uyyalawada Narashimareddy's descendants are actually very innocent and suspected that they might have been misguided by some people with vested interests. Chiru termed their demand for Rs 50 crores as "unreasonable and irrational".

"There was never an agreement between us and Narasimha Reddy's descendants. The Supreme Court had once ruled that a biopic can be made without any prior permission from the legal heirs of a person if his story dates back to over 100 years.

And during Mangal Pandey's release, the apex court had said that no legal heir would possess any rights on a legendary person's story after 60 years of his or her existence.

But we will surely do something for Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy's birthplace if 'Sye Raa...'makes good profits," Chiru said.

In fact, megastar Chiranjeevi has always been saying that freedom fighter Uyyalawada Narashima Reddy's biopic has been his dream for the last 20 years.

In the latest interview, Chiru revealed that he got very excited when Paruchuri Brothers had narrated him the biopic's story 12 years ago. Chiru says he has mixed feelings of excitement, confidence and tension, as 'Sye Raa Narasimhareddy' is gearing up to open in cinemas worldwide in 3 days.

On the other hand, for the last couple of months, Chiru and Charan have been mired in an unexpected controversy.

Several descendants of Narasimha Reddy have been demanding Rs 50 crore from Ram Charan for producing a film on their legendary ancestor. The case is currently being pursued in the court.

Meanwhile, Chiranjeevi is spending more time in Chennai and Mumbai to promote his magnum opus to draw big openings in other states as he is confident of shattering openings records in the two Telugu states.
