Dasari's Next Movie To Target Congress

The producer-director Dasari Narayana Rao, who is cut up with Congress leadership for ignoring him, is planning to make a political satire, taking potshots at the ruling party. There is buzz in film circles that Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt, whose Munnabhai series were a big hit, will play the protagonist in the Hindi movie.

According to sources, the film will be a witty and sarcastic commentary on the ongoing developments in the state and national politics. Of late, Dasari has been keeping himself away from Congress after falling out of its favour. Once part of the central cabinet, he was later dropped from the Ministry and since then the Congress central leadership has been largely ignoring him.

Rubbing salt into his injured pride, his bête noir Chiranjeevi was wooed into the Congress. Both belong to “Kapu” community and their mutual animosity is well known in political circles. Dasari is upset over the merger of Praja Rajyam Party with Congress. He strongly feels that he cannot see Chiranjeevi and himself sailing in the same boat.

At the time of Chiranjeevi’s political entry, Dasari made “Mestri” which poked fun at Chiranjeevi and contained several sharp dialogues hitting out at the actor. Recently, he directed Balakrishna-starrer “Param Veer Chakra” which failed to come up to his box office expectations.
