REEL TO REAL: JAC to ban Chiru family films

By SNV Sudhir

Visakhapatnam, Aug 6, 2013: Movies starring Union tourism minister Chiranjeevi’s family members are set to face the heat of the Samaikyandhra stir. In an attempt to intensify the agitation demanding that UPA reverse the Telangana decision, Samaikyandhra Students’ JAC on Tuesday unleashed an action plan.

They decided to boycott the films of Chiru’s son Ram Charan Teja and his brother Pawan Kalyan.

Their films, Yevadu and Attarintiki Daredhi respectively, are lined up for release in the second week of August.

The JAC said the boycott was to protest against Chiranjeevi for not using all his efforts
to convince his party leadership to reverse their T decision. They claimed Chiranjeevi had failed miserably to project the emotions and sentiments of the public of Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra to the Congress central leader ship.

“How can he stay silent when Seemandhra is burning? He failed to express our sentiments. He must quit. We are boycotting the films of his family members.
We dare exhibitors and distributors to screen their movies. We won't hesitate to attack theatres if they screen the movies,” said Lagudu Govind of Samaikyandhra Students' JAC.

The latter on Tuesday morning held an emergency meeting on the varsity campus and decided to intensify their agitation.

From Wednesday they will launch a door-todoor campaign to explain to the public the importance of the stir and the need to maintain the status quo of the state. JAC has planned a public meeting at AU engineering college grounds on Aug 12.
They have planned a march on the beach road on August 18 along the lines of Telangana Million March in Hyderabad.
