Maria sends legal notice to RGV





Maria Susairaj has sent a legal notice to Ram Gopal Varma stating that unless RGV shows her his film ‘Not a Love Story’, she will apply for a stay-order on the film in Court.

‘Not A Love Story’ is inspired by Neeraj Grover Murder case in which Maria was involved with her fiancée Jerome. Later Maria got acquitted and now she wants to make sure that she has not been shown in bad light in the film. She has also sent a notice to the Censor Board as well.

However RGV is firm that he is not going to show her the film. He says, "I will not show my film to Maria as I have repeatedly said that my film is just inspired by the incident and not completely based on her. There are so many differences in the film from the real life incident. My heroine is not a south Indian actress and her fiancee is not in Navy as in real case. Also, the film is just an interpretation of what could have happened and not a reporting on what actually happened. No one was there to know what the reality is. This is not her story and I am not showing the film to her"

The film has been mired in controversy in the recent times. Earlier Ram Gopal Varma had lodged a complaint against the BJP Yuva Morcha for protesting his office. The protest was triggered by Varma’s announcement about casting Maria Susairaj. Following the protest, Varma lodged a complaint after he received a warning letter from the Bharatiya Janata Party threatening him against his decision to cast Susairaj.



RGV’s police complaint


Ram Gopal Varma has lodged a complaint with the Versova Police on Tuesday afternoon against the BJP Yuva Morcha. On Tuesday, twenty members of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) were detained by the Oshiwara police for protesting outside filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma's office in Andheri west. The protest was triggered by Varma’s announcement about casting Maria Susairaj, who has been recently convicted in the Neeraj Grover murder case, in his upcoming film ‘Not a Love Story’. Following the protest, Varma lodged a complaint after he received a warning letter from the Bharatiya Janata Party threatening him against his decision to cast Susairaj.

When contacted, RGV said, “My intention behind whatever I said is that if someone has been convicted and has served a given sentence, she has a right to start her life afresh and be a part of civilized society. Maria is not my sister or my girlfriend and I don’t even know her. So, it is not about supporting her but it is about standing up for the constitutional rights.” He further argued that even after court gave its judgment, the least informed people are raising so much noise; it comes under contempt of court.  “Public opinion is fine but isn’t there a difference between opinion and an informed opinion? And who can be more informed than the judge? And if the people feel that the investigating team and the judge are wrong why are they only singling out Maria. For all I know Maria can be a killer or maybe even a serial killer but shouldn’t there be an accepted way by means of appropriate bodies like the judiciary to find that out in a civil society?,” he added.
