The art of politics involves influencing people’s opinions in order to gain power. How could filmmakers avoid influencing people’s opinions during an election season? Politicians have been utilising films to spread their ideologies and points of view to the public ever since independence. In keeping with the custom, three films are scheduled to release during the election season.
In addition to providing entertainment, the November release of the films is anticipated to spark debate and discussion, win people over, and influence others.
Ram Gopal Varma is the director of one of the three films. It centres on the difficulties that Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, encountered throughout his life. This biographical film portrays TD head N. Chandrababu Naidu as a failure and demonstrates how Jagan Mohan Reddy plots his political movements.
Prominent Congress politician Addanki Dayakar is producing another film that is currently under development. “The movie explores themes such as Sanatana Dharma, religion, the DNA of Coronavirus and the politics of the BJP,” averred Dayakar, stating that it will promote democratic values among people and have an anti-government message.
Guduru Narayan Reddy, a prominent member of the Telangana BJP, created the third film, which centres on the horrors committed by the Razakars and emphasises the will of the people to resist them. With the provocative title “Razakar: The Silent Genocide of Hyderabad,” it has already gained attention.
