'Murari' (2001) was re-released in theatres the other day on the occasion of Mahesh Babu's birthday. The re-release mania has been expectedly high. A young couple in their early 20s tied the knot right while the movie was being screened inside a theatre in Hyderabad. In a video that went viral, the couple's friends could be seen celebrating their union by showering 'akshintalu' on them.
Director Krishna Vamsi has reacted to the development with a sense of shock. As someone who genuinely respects traditions, the filmmaker indicated that the act of the two youngsters is a mockery of established wedding rituals. "This is not right. We should not insult, abuse, or ridicule our great culture and tradition. Please, I beg you not to do this," the director, known for several iconic movies in the 1990s, wrote, offering counsel.
Krishna Vamsi's 'Murari' minted very good money in Nizam territory upon its re-release on Friday.
