Hyderabad : It is common that we witness protests against various movies due to its storyline, title, depiction of a particular character in movie etc… as it attracts the ire of a section of people in the society, that prompts the producer and director to find out an option to pacify the situation.
However, for the first time in the History of Telugu Television, the Title of a newly launched serial had attracted the anger of a section of religious outfit that prompted the channel to think of alternative options.
Rama Seetha Ekkada, the new TV serial which began on Monday 25th August on Telugu GEC Zee Telugu is being aired during weekdays at 8PM, has ran into big trouble, A day after the first episode was aired as Scores of Bajrang Dal and VHP activists staged protest in front of the TV channel’s office in Hyderabad and raised slogans against the show.
The protesters alleged that the name of the TV serial has hurt their religious sentiments and they demanded the name be changed with immediate effect. The channel officials and police officers efforts to convince them failed as they refused to budge for nearly three hours.
Finally, the protesters agreed to leave after only when the TV channel officials agreed to change the name of the serial. It seems police officials from Saifabad area pacify the protestors and brokered peace between the channel and the protesters. whether the title of the serial is going to changed or not are yet to be divulged.
Even though the creator’s unmindful thought and lack of social responsibility in choosing the title has landed them in trouble. The storyline seems to be a psycho husband story. It is understood that the characterisation were resembling the popular “psycho Hubby” show aired on “Life OK” when the channel was newly launched with a tweak in the storyline. However, we can’t rule out parallel thinking.
