In a tight slap to some of the descendants of Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy, the Telangana High Court has other day refused to stay the release of the film as demanded by the descendants in a petition.
As the petitioners headed by Doravari Dastagiri Reddy mentioned that they have a signed agreement from makers of the movie to give them money, Court ordered them to approach a Civil Court to enforce the agreement and opined that there is no need to stall the release of the flick for the same. Court clearly mentioned that civil disputes should be settled and can be settled even after a release of the film, but there is no need to intervene with the release.
Another demand of this section of Uyyalwada descendants is that they should be screened Sye Raa before its release to see if there are any discrepancies in the narrative. High Court refuted their claim saying that all such petitions will be entertained only after the film’s release as there is no provision in the law that says family members (or heirs) should be screened a biopic before its release.
With the counsel of Sye Raa claiming that the film is not a biopic in total but has lots of fictionalised content based on the information available in public domain, Uyyalwada descendants cannot be legally demanding for the preview of the film before its release.
