The shocking incident of a young writer’s attack on Darsakendrudu K.Raghavendra Rao became a hot topic of discussion in the media. The stranger had the audacity to barge in the director’s house and even damage some of his expensive cars. This stranger named Ravindra alleged that Raghavendra Rao failed to give him writing credits for the film Sri Ramadasu and the story was penned by the former.
The police took him into custody and filed legal cases under section 452, 427 and sent him for remand. In the mean time, Ravindra’s parents have a different story to tell altogether. They said that Raghavendra Rao appreciated Ravindra’s story and also offered to pay Rs.15 lakhs for his work. They are alleging that Raghavendra Rao asked them to come to Hyderabad to collect the money but when they did, he started absconding from the scene!
However, Raghavendra Rao has dismissed all these allegations and maintained that the story of Sri Ramadasu was penned by Bharavi alone.
We will have to wait and see how many more twists this shocking incident would lead to!
