Disgruntled filmmaker, R
Narayana Murthy, storms out of
Indian Cinema Centenary Celebrations in Chennai. Here���s why?
The celebration of Telugu Cinema at the Indian Cinema Centenary Celebrations in Chennai turned ugly on Sunday evening. During the so-called celebrations at the event, popular filmmaker R Narayana Murthy went on stage and interrupted the programme, calling it ���an audio function���.
Speaking from Chennai, R Narayana Murthy said that he was disappointed with the way the organisers showcased Telugu cinema.
���When I went to the venue, I couldn���t find even a picture of Raghupathi
Venkaiah Naidu, the pioneer of South Indian cinema. Moreover, the event began with Sivamani���s show, which was followed by song and dance. I expected a lot and I was very disappointed,��� said Narayana Murthy. ���There were so many people who worked hard towards developing the Telugu film industry and it is sad that none of these people were honoured by even a poster at the premises,��� he adds.
Speaking on what prompted him to go up on stage and interrupt the show, Narayana Murthy said, ���I was disappointed and wanted my displeasure known. That���s the reason I interrupted the show. People were bored to watch the programme which seemed like any other Telugu audio function.��� The disgruntled filmmaker not only left the venue, but decided to come back to Hyderabad, giving the final day celebrations a miss.
