Krish-Mahesh Babu's 'Forward Caste' Film?

Jagarlamudi Krish who is known as one of the rare film makers in South India is identified with his award winning films ‘Gamyam’ and ‘Vedam’. His films generally deal with humanity and true corners of man kind. His success factor is associated with making audience swallow philosophy with sugar coating humor.

Now as per grapevine, Krish is coming up with a subject on reservations in India and the effects of it post-mandal-commission. It is known that reservations are now all pervasive from college admissions to entry into Parliament or Assembly.

As this talk is in spread, many are assuming that it could be ‘pro-forward caste’ film. But some say that Krish is sane enough to balance the situation and come up with a universal entertainer.

It should be recalled that ‘Periyar Ramaswamy’ was the film that has come with anti-forward caste subject. Since that was historical subject, censor clearance turned possible with ease. But since Krish’s film is a fiction, he needs to be very shrewd in handling this subject. Indeed ‘anti forward caste’ subject is easy to handle when compared to ‘pro forward caste’ keeping various SC ST organizations, Acts and other things in view point. We have to see how Krish handles this. The icing on the cake is that Mahesh Babu is being considered to play lead in this.
