Owing to the ongoing strife across the states of Andhra Pradesh and the newly formed Telangana, actor-politician Chiranjeevi's son Ram Charan's upcoming film could face a roadblock.
People across the two states are apparently miffed with Chiranjeevi for his flip-flop political affiliations on the matter. Sources say the local folk could put up a protest by disrupting the screening of his film co-starring Priyanka Chopra.
For the moment, Ram Charan's upcoming film a remake of Amitabh Bachchan's Zanjeer is slated to release on September 6. Says a source, `People of Andhra Pradesh are very upset with Chiranjeevi.
He had been against the formation of Telangana and had even gone on a fast in 2009 on the issue. But with his stance changing recently, even his brother Pawan Kalyan's film Camerman Gangatho Rambabu helmed by Puri Jagannath had run into trouble.`
With local people accusing the film of hurting sentiments, the film was forced to undergo seven cuts. `Despite this, the Telangana activists had called for a ban on the film. Hope with Ram Charan's next, people can see the difference between art and politics,` adds the source.
