It's a known news that director Ram Gopal Varma has planned a biopic 'Murder' on the lives of Maruthi Rao and his daughter Amrutha. He shared the tweet, The non chemistrial chemistry between the Reel life and Real life Amrutha,Maruthi Rao MURDER saga aptly comes out in this picture where his obsessive possessiveness and her arrogant defiance both come out of OVERDRAWN LOVE #MURDERlove @drksi13 @AvanchaSahithi

However, Amrutha has reportedly shared a letter against Rgv making the film. Rgv, but then, posted a series of tweets as part of a counter exercise to Amrutha's letter.

"MURDER film meanders between 3 moral dilemmas 1.on limit of a father’s control over his child 2.should a daughter be ignored even if she’s presumably ignorant about what’s good for her? 3.Can it be justified to take someone’s life in order to better someone else’s life?

I wanted to answer to a widely circulated note on the social media claiming to be written by Amrutha, that she felt like committing suicide after she came to know that I am making a film called MURDER based on her and her father’s story

Whether Amrutha wrote it or some jobless over enthusiast wrote it , I felt obligated to respond to it to clarify the concerns in the minds of whoever is needlessly concerned about what I will show in MURDER

Firstly I clearly mentioned in the poster that MURDER is based on a true story and I did not claim it to be the true story ..The news upon which my film is based upon is in the public domain for years and has been acknowledged by the various people involved.

The real photos I used to illustrate my point of MURDER are widely available on the internet and have not been given to me in person or in secret for me to breach someone’s trust

The real story on which MURDER is based upon might be out there in multiple perspectives but my own perspective of it can only be seen only after the film releases and hence its immature to presume its content 

It is always a perspective as in the view of any journalist who reported it or anyone who investigated it or anyone who speculated about it and I as a film maker while making MURDER have a right to give my own understanding of it.

Its foolish to assume that I am going to show someone involved in a negative light because I strongly believe that nobody is bad and only bad circumstances make people look bad or make them behave bad and that’s what I intend to explore in MURDER

My final message to writer of the note whether it’s Amrutha or anybody else is i have the highest respect for people who endured a tremendous trauma and my sincerety in MURDER will be to respect that pain and lessen it by putting their experience in a contextual retrospective."
