Special Chit Chat With HIT 3 Movie Team | Nani | Srinidhi Shetty

Director Venu Udugula, who recently turned producer with the hit film Raju Weds Rambai, is now gearing up for more projects. In a recent interaction with Gulte Pro, Venu shared his views on the film industry, making headlines with his remarks about the movie Razakar.

Venu described Razakar as a propaganda film allegedly pushed forward by the BJP. He stated, “I believe the BJP made Razakar with a political agenda. I do not think the film was made with genuine respect or responsibility toward history.”

His comments sparked widespread debate within film circles. While some agreed with him, others criticized his stance, noting that Razakars did, in fact, commit atrocities against villagers during that period. Notably, Venu admitted he had not actually watched the film, though he expressed issues with certain aspects of it.

Venu has previously faced criticism for films like Virata Parvam, which portrayed Naxalism in a sympathetic light. Known for his leftist/communist ideology, he often voices opposition to films he perceives as pushing political agendas. His recent comments on Razakar are likely to invite further discussion and scrutiny, leaving the audience curious about how he will handle the controversy.

For context, the plot of Razakar revolves around: “In the early days of independence, the people of Telangana, India, work to reclaim their religion and identity in the face of military and political oppression.”
