For the first time, a state minister has dubbed for a role in a Tollywood movie and colleagues are going all out to portray Kiran Kumar as a hero of the people.
Supporters of Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy are trying their best to ensure that their `propaganda' film ‘Operation Duryodhan 2’ becomes a hit.
Apart from recovering their Rs 5-crore investment, they want the maximum number of people to see the film, which showcases the capabilities of their leader. The aim is to expose his detractors within and outside the party.
Apparently for the first time, a state minister, E. Pratap Reddy, has dubbed for his role. “Pratap Reddy likes to complete any given task with perfection; so to give a realistic touch to his character, he preferred to dub for himself,” says producer Surender Reddy.
The minister is actually portraying the character of Kiran Kumar Reddy and the political thriller will be showcasing the various schemes initiat ed by the CM and his “zero tolerance” towards corruption. In the film the CM appoints his friend and fire-brand CBI officer (Jagapathi Babu) who busts various scams and sends the culprits to jail.
“Some Congress leaders have funded this project to show Kiran Kumar Reddy in a good light and highlight his determination to eradicate corruption,” says a source.
Some of the characters of the film reportedly remind one of leaders like APCC chief Botsa Satyanarayana and Jagan Mohan Reddy.
“The film also shows the recent plans to unseat the CM,“ the source adds.
No Cabinet has shown so much interest in a Telugu potboiler and Kiran Kumar and his colleagues will apparently be watching the film soon.
‘Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu’ was supposed to be a veiled promotion of the late YSR as an able leader.
Krishna Vamsi’s ‘Paisa’ is expected to showcase the rise of Jagan Mohan Reddy as a politician and a businessman. The film ends with him becoming the Chief Minister.
Vishnu Manchu’s film ‘Assembly Rowdy’ has been “designed” to glorify Jagan Mohan Reddy who will be shown coming out of jail and ruling the roost in the Assembly.
