OU students disrupt Ravi Teja's Daruvu
Hyderabad: Ravi Teja has tasted the heat of Telangana activists once again, who disrupted the film shooting of Daruvu at Taranaka here on Wednesday.
The OU JAC members rushed to the spot where the shooting was scheduled at the RTC Hospital at Tarnaka circle and wanted the artistes to join them in shouting slogans. When an altercation broke out, they damaged the furniture.
Hero Ravi Teja and actress Tapsee left the scene in a huff. This is the second incident in recent times that the film unit is attacked by university students. Earlier it happened at the Central University.
Police arrested four pro-Telangana students on the charge of attacking members of a film crew and disrupting the shooting of upcoming Telugu film `Daruvu' near the Osmania University (OU).
The arrested students included Telangana Vidyarthi Ikya Vedika President K Mahesh. They disrupted the shoot by storming into a hospital near the campus, Deputy Commissioner of Police (East Zone) Y Gangadhar said. They were carrying stones and sticks, he said.
The students allegedly damaged shooting lights and the glass doors of the hospital. They also shouted pro-Telangana slogans.
Following a complaint by B Rambabu, Production Manager of Sri Venkateshwara Entertainment Limited, OU police registered a case and arrested four youths. Police were looking for four more students.
The DCP said that though the cinema unit had obtained permission from hospital authorities, it had not informed the local police, nor had it obtained permission from Hyderabad Police Commissioner's office for the shoot.
Film units intending to shoot in Hyderabad are asked to take prior permission from police authorities so that local police can handle such situations by deploying additional forces, Gangadhar said.
