I was shocked!

This post isn't really filmi, though it has a connection with a film. This is a politics/real news post.

This morning I woke up to find out that Maddelacheruvu Suri had been shot dead. I was truly shocked, I didn't know what to say. It was only a month ago that I saw Raktha Charitra 2 and I also read about him too. He was alive a couple of days ago like any human. It was just a couple of weeks ago he gave an interview, just a couple of days ago he announced his entry into politics. But, what happened to him was just too sudden and scary.Suri wasn't even that old, he was in his 50s. I saw it when I went on to twitter. His name: Maddelacheruvu Suri was trending and when I clicked on it, all the links said that he has been shot and is dead. 


It is said that he was shot in the head,chest,stomach and the shoulder a couple of times, there are even pictures. But I thought it was stupid that you would let the press in to take pictures when it was extremely serious of him.  In a way I think his death is kind of sad, because I have sympathy for the people who get caught in the net of factionalism. Because it never stops, they just keep on killing people. Even, when someone wants to change they can't, because they will get killed just as Suri did. Its just sad. Suri was just eaten up in vengeance and revenge.


The police say he was shot from inside the car, because there was no damage to the car from the outside. They say it was Suri's friend/right hand Bhanu Kiran. Which makes sense with all the evidence they are getting. Wait, I think its been proven, because the DC(Deccan Chronicle) article says that Bhanu used a silencer gun.  At first I thought it was the people of Paritala Ravi that killed Suri. 


For the those who don't know Maddelacheruvu Suri, he was a faction leader( or use to be?) in Andhra Pradesh. He killed Paritala Ravi a TDP MLA in 2005 to take revenge on him for killing Suri's family. You can read about it here: http://www.deccanchronicle.com/anantapur/ravi-suri-feud-dates-back-’80-194 . 


The cinema connection: So, there is news that there might be a Raktha Charitra 3. Maddelacheruvu Suri was played by Surya Sivakumar in the movie of Raktha Charitra 1-2, so if RGV makes RC3, I'm guessing its going to be on Suri and how he dies.  I really want to know what the RC team says about this news, as in about the death. 


I still am really shocked about this incident, it really freaked me out. Now, no one is alive neither Paritala or Suri.  I knew Suri was going to get killed, but didn't think this fast. I just needed to write about my feelings and thoughts, so I did. Please do tell me how you feel about this.


 A lesson we all can learn from this: A violent persons life ends in violence.

‘Endhiran’ mania grips. Chennai shows

The advance booking for ‘Endhiran’ opened at 9am this morning. But the fans were ready as early as 3am queuing up in front of the theatres.

The avant-garde obsession of Rajini fans for ‘Endhiran’ was on display today at the Udhayam Theatre in Ashok Nagar, Chennai today. The crowd was swelling right from the wee hours. People from all types and walks stood firm to get their tickets on that first day.

Hot sun did not deter, the sweating crowd did not dissuade. The long wait was seen as a self-test to their resilience power.

When the gates opened at 9am there were celebrations already. Leaving all known inhibitions behind Rajini fans ran, jumped, rolled over and tried all acrobatic acts to reach the box office first. They all had only one thing in mind – to watch ‘Endhiran’ first day first show.

One Rajini fan exclaimed “Diwali is for others, for us only Robowali this year”. One woman who had come with her son after packing her husband to office said she had been at the venue from 8am so that she could watch Rajini on the first day.

When the counter opened whistles and hoots rent the air marking bigger things to come on October 1. It’s time the Guinness Awards must look for a living actor in the world who has more manic fan following than the super star Rajinikanth.

Here is one thing to sum up what Rajini is to his fans. One young fan who got married only this year says for him “thala diwali is not the first diwali after his marriage but it is the first release of a Rajini film after his marriage”. Can anybody beat it?

See all that in the IG video.
