Family members of Obul Reddy on Sunday served a legal notice to ace film director Ram Gopal Varma for depicting him 'maliciously' in his forthcoming cinematic offering 'Rakta Charitra'.
According to information reaching here, Obul Reddy's family approached a court, seeking its intervention to restrain the director from including some unsavoury scenes in the film.
The well-known film director had, on Sunday, received telephone calls
threatening him with dire consequences if he goes ahead with Rakta Charitra.
According to sources, the calls allegedly came from the Obul Reddy group of Anantapur. Obul Reddy is related to Maddelacheruvu Suryanarayana Reddy, better known as Suri, who is alleged to have plotted the murder of Anantapur TDP MLA Paritala Ravi.
Rakta Charitra is apparently based on the life of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) MLA late Paritala Ravi. Vivek Oberoi is essaying the role of Paritala Ravi in the movie.
Varma had received threatening calls for depicting Obul Reddy's character 'maliciously' in the film. The callers sent letters to Ram Gopal Varma's Mumbai office, stating that they would obstruct the film shooting for projecting the Obul Reddy in a unsavoury manner.
