Hyderabad, Nov 9: Noted film poet Jonnavithula Ramalingeswara Rao has received threatening calls for criticizing Manchu Vishnu's Denikaina Ready.
Participating in a TV discussion on Thursday, Jonnavithula has said it was atrocious that Hinduism and Brahminism was degraded in the film.
He said it was wrong to think that humour could be created by demeaning a Brahminism and Hinduism. He said in a scene where a Brahmin performs Chandi Yaga in Nepal, his wife keeps telling every male that he was like her husband. He said that scene has shown Brahmin women in a very bad light. He has demanded that such scenes should be removed.
Soon after that discussion was telecast, some callers told Jonnavithula that they would come to his house and break his head. Jonnavithula has said that the callers had abused him in unprintable language for criticizing Mohan Babu, though he had criticized only the film and not any individual.
Responding to the complaint, noted actor Shiva Krishna has said that it was unfortunate that Jonnavithula was threatened for voicing his opinion on the film. He said there were never such incidents in the past and said such trends need to be checked.
Meanwhile, Brahmin youth leader Dronamraju Ravi Kumar has condemned the threats on Jonnavithulaand said the entire Brahmin community was with the writer. He said Brahmins who generally do not get into controversies, could turn into Parasuramas when the need be. He said, Brahmins were also "Denikaina Ready".
