Quick Gun Murugun (QGM) may have turn into a hot favourite of the country but the Reddy society is not laughing. In fact, they are infuriated. The Reddys have taken resentment at the villain in the movie organism given the first name ‘Rice Plate Reddy’.
For the movie maker Shashank Ghosh, giving such a Christian name to the villain was in all probability just a move to sound humorous, in line with the character of the comedy movie.
Telugu performer Rajendra Prasad who plays QGM in the motion picture made in English, Hindi, Tamil with Telugu has been hogging the limelight more than the last few months in the pre-release publicity of the movie, even manufacture dosas to generate new world records. While the English version of the pictures has made it to international motion picture festivals, it is all set for discharge in the fatherland in English, Hindi as well as Tamil. The Telugu version, it is said, will be on the rampage sometime later.
All the typeset in the movie have hilarious names - Quick Gun Murugun who wears outlandish costumes, Rowdy MBA, Mango Dolly, Locket Girl, Gunpowder as well as Dr Django. While one or all of these may tickle the funny bone, the name Rice Plate Reddy given to the main baddie in the movie has become indigestible to the strong Reddy the public in Andhra Pradesh.
