RAM GOPALVARMA DETAINED

AMARAVATI — Film-maker Ramgopal Varma was barred entry into Vijayawada on Sunday to promote his Telugu movie Lakshmi’s NTR.

He was detained by the city police and sent back to Hyderabad without assigning any reason.

“Sorry to inform that the press meet at 4pm is cancelled because the police stopped us and have barred my entry into Vijaywada and forcibly sending me back to Hyderabad...

Hey @ncbn WHERE IS DEMOCRACY ? WHY IS TRUTH BEING BACK STABBED?” Varma asked in a tweet later.

Lakshmi’s NTR is based on the life of Telugu Desam founder and former chief minister N T Rama Rao. —
