“DON'T MIX POLITICS WITH CINEMA” SURYAH


Pawan Kalyan starrer 'Puli' released in Andhra Pradesh amongst a lot of controversy surrounding it. The film was earlier titled Komaram Puli which was opposed by a large section of the people in Telangana as the name Komaram is the surname of the Gond martyr Komaram Bheem. The movie ran into troubled waters in Telangana as Pawan Kalyan's brother Chiranjeevi is the leader of the Praja Rajyam party which is against the formation of Telangana.

The issue snowballed when Chiranjeevi announced that leaders in Telangana demanded money for a peaceful release of the movie Puli. This led to agitation in the region and there were doubts releasing it. Reacting to the incident director S.J. Suryah told media, "I request people not to mix politics with cinema. Cinema is an entertainment medium which has no political boundaries".
