Satyameva Jayate!

Rajasekhar and Jeevitha, the star couple, have again hit the headlines. And, again for the wrong reason. What's wrong with you guys??

First, Rajasekhar's script is stolen. Then comes an `attack' on his family allegedly by Chiranjeevi's fans -- for a week thereafter, the two are all over the TV prompting Chiru to apologise. Next, Rajasekhar joins the Congress, seeking to contest against the megastar himself. Now, he goes to board a flight to Chennai with a gun and live cartridges!!

Surely, there is something wrong here!! This is too filmy to be true!! Or is it simply a case of facts being stranger than fiction?

The angry young man is currently busy filming his, 'Satyameva Jayate', -- grapevine has it that the Hindi film, 'Khaki', triggered this brainwave. I strongly believe Rajasekhar is perfect for such supercop roles. That's his forte. But why on earth did he star in such a sentimental movie as 'Gorintaku'? It is something that beats my imagination.

By the way, for the uninformed, 'Gorintaku' is a modern imitation of the sibling-tragedy, 'Rakta Sambandham', (Blood Relation) featuring NTR and Savitri. Brother and sister duo dies much in the same way as in the old flick which brings us to an interesting question: why should a brother and sister always die in our movies? Not a single movie that deals with siblings, I repeat, not a single movie, has had a happy ending.

Be it 'Rakta Sambandham', or the more recent, 'Rakhi' of Jr NTR, or the whole lot of Balakrishna's films, the sister inevitably meets with a tragic fate. I dread the festival of Rakhi. Every channel airs a tragic movie on that day. It's sickening! Thought at least Rajasekhar would reverse the trend but he too has disappointed. Maybe it's the sister formula -- like the mass formula our directors have. As for Rajasekhar, here's hoping truth triumphs in the end and he comes out with flying colours.

Satyameva Jayate!
