Rakht Charitra 1

Rakht Charitra is a story inspired from the life of Paritala Ravi, who was inarguably the most feared individual ever in the history of the blood-ridden faction politics of South India, and who was assassinated in January 2005. He was implicated in innumerable murder cases and also survived numerous assassination attempts. Ravi’s name sent shivers up the spines of not only his rivals but even the law enforcement agencies. He was a rebel, a feudal lord, a robin hood, alleged killer of hundreds and savior of thousands till the day he was gunned down by a death squad allegedly put together by his arch rival Suri, who wanted to avenge his father and brother’s deaths, in a bizarre déjà vu.
