RGV's 'Murder' movie to release with conditions
On Friday, the High Court directed the "Murder" movie team to release the film by following certain conditions. The Court reprimanded film maker Ram Gopal Varma for using actual names of victims in his movie – 'Murder'.
The movie is based on the honour killing of Pranay who was murdered by his wife's family in broad daylight. It is known that Pranay's wife Amrutha filed a case in the Nalgonda court seeking to stop the movie from being released. Now, the High Court lifted the stay order issued by the Nalgonda court.
Based on a petition filed by the victim's wife, the VII Additional District Judge, Nalgonda directed the film maker to refrain from releasing the movie. Aggrieved by the same, Ram Gopal Varma approached the court. Counsel for RGV informed the court that the film was fictitious.
