Hyderabad, Nov 5: The police have registered a criminal case against actor-producer Manchu Mohan Babu and his son hero of the film “ Denikaina Ready” film, which ran into trouble with the Brahmin community launching a protest demanding banning of the film.
Based on directive from the Malkajgiri Court, which was moved by the Brahmins, the police registered cases under Sections 120-B, 153-A and 295-A and 298 IPC against Mohan Babu, Manchu Vishnu, comedian Brahmanandam and film director Nageshwar Reddy and commenced investigations.
Earlier this morning, a delegation of Brahmins, who had formed a Joint Action Committee, met Home Minister P. Sabita Indra Reddy and demanded immediate banning of the movie, which has not only hurt the religious sentiments of the community, but also belittled them with various scenes and dialogues.
It might be mentioned here that the film had been running rough weather from the very beginning. First it encountered problem from the Censor Board and after the hurdle was overcome after making necessary changes, the film ran into trouble from the day it was released.
Members of the Brahmin community taking objection to the alleged derogatory dialogues and scenes raided the residence of Mohan Babu in Jubilee Hills. In the fracas, some furniture and glass panes were damaged. The screening of the film was also met with stiff resistance at many theaters.
Even as the controversy was raging day after day, the members of the Brahmin Community even lodged a complaint with the State Human Rights Commission. In an unexpected development, Mohan Babu’s son and hero of the movie Manchu Vishnu also reached the HRC office to lodge a complaint about the attack on his house and the damage caused.
While Vishnu was exiting after submitting his petition, he was confronted by the agitating Brahmins, including some advocates.
Slogans were raised against him and shoes were hurled at his vehicle.
Thus as the controversy surrounding the movie has been escalating, the members of the affected community moved the court in Malkajgiri following which a directive was given to the police to file a case against the producer, director, hero and comedian of the movie.
Meanwhile, the BJP has demanded arrest of Mohan Babu and others. Party leader Prabhakar Rao said though the court has directed the police to register cases and arrest the accused, the government was trying to save Mohan Babu and others. Demanding immediate ban on the film, Prabhakar has alleged that the government was helping the producers by allowing the screening of the film by appointing a committee to delay the process. He said the film producers were making money while the government was delaying ban, allowing damage to be caused to the sentiments of the Brahmin community
