HYDERABAD: In his previous film, ‘Rann’, RGV created controversy by spoofing the national anthem. This time around, ‘Rakhta Charitra’ has found yet another way to get in trouble with the Censor Board.

The filmmaker has quoted a line from ‘Mahabharat’ in the film’s posters. It claims, ‘Revenge is the purest emotion’. This has not gone well with the censor board in Hyderabad, which has objected to the line.

The Board says that it has no proof that the line in question has indeed any reference in Mahabharata and hence wants the text removed.

Sheetal Talwar , the producer, claims that she has already distributed the posters, but has agreed to remove the quote.
