Varun Tej's Valmiki Sparks Controversy

Update: 2019-01-29 17:06 GMT
Varun Tej's upcoming flick under the direction of Harish Shankar was launched recently. This Project was titled as 'Valmiki' and even the title logo was unveiled.

Valmiki Association Leader Sai Prasad opined title logo of 'Valmiki' insulted Valmiki Maharshi and the sentiments of their community were hurt. He threatened to stall the release of the film if the Makers doesn't change the title. ’Such a Title was preferred by the Makers without even bothering about the history. How could they use a gun while preferring such a title? People belonging to Valmiki Community had left faction long back. Using the gun in the title is like projecting Valmikis as anti-social elements. Producers should change the title immediately,' he demanded.

Sai Prasad maintained that they have no objection what-so-ever if such title was used for a devotional flick. At the same time, He pledged to fight against any attempt to insult Maharshi by using his name for commercial subjects.

'Valmiki' could be the Telugu Remake of Tamil Flick 'Jigarthanda'. Varun Tej essays a negative role in this gangster subject. Devi Sri Prasad scores music. Ram Achanta and Gopi Achanta bankrolls it on 14 Reels Plus Banner.
