NALGONDA: Film director Ram Gopal Verma's upcoming film 'Murder' has come under the scanner again.

Perumalla Pranay's father Balaswamy, who had raised objection over 'Murder' film's first look which was released on June 21, approached the SC and ST Atrocities Prevention Court in Nalgonda district with the same concern. Balaswamy informed the court that the movie will influence the trial of the case.

Following this, the court directed the I town police station to register a case against director Ram Gopal Verma, who recently announced a movie based on the revenge killing of Perumalla Pranay in Miryalaguda town in 2018.
