Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Daughter, Sushmitha is turning into a producer. She is producing her maiden web-series titled Shootout at Alair on their Gold Box Entertainments along with her husband, Vishnu Prasad. Anand Ranga is directing this Web-Series which is based on true events involving a cop and criminals. Rumors are that it is based on the alleged Fake encounter of Terrorist Vikaruddin.
Majlis Bachao Tehreek (MBT), a political party based in Hyderabad strongly objected to making this film. “The National Human Rights Commission report confirmed Alair encounter as fake and asked the Telangana Govt to pay Rs 5 lakh each as compensation to the deceased families. This seems to be an attempt to dirty, bloodstained hands of cops,” the party said.
It also objected to the fact that the makers did not meet the families of the encounter and termed it as not right in the interest of balance and presenting the full scenario. It has to be seen how the makers and Zee5 respond to it. Interestingly, they did not commit to doing the web series based on that encounter and only said it is based on a real incident. The Web Series will be premiered on Zee5 – the Digital Arm of Zee Network on December 25th as a Christmas Special.
