Slain forest brigand Veerappan’s wife Muthulakshmi has urged Tamil film audience not to watch director Ram Gopal Varma’s Friday release ‘Villadhi Villan Veerappan’, as it portrayed her husband in badlight.
Speaking to reporters in Chennai on Friday, she said, “As a wife, only I know his personal life. I really do not know how this film director has made this movie.”
She said further: “I have lived with him for four years and my two daughters were born in the forest. Nobody knows his personal life and his background. I appeal to people not to watch this movie.”
Muthulakshmi further said that the movie was not a true portrayal of her husband and addressed him in improper terms without due respect. She also wondered if they would do it had he been alive.
When reporters asked about police officer Vijayakumar’s decision to write a book on Veerappan operation, she said, “he joined the final leg of the search. Initially, it was Devaram. After that, several police officials joined the search. If Devaram had written that book, I would have accepted it.”
