Director Lalit Marathe starts online campaign to make RGV release Shabri

Ram Gopal Varma is yet again embroiled in a controversy that has one of his protegees at the root. The man who is known to have launched many a career in Bollywood is now being accused of destroying one.

Lalit Marathe, who struggled his way into finally completing his first directorial venture Shabri under Ram Gopal Varma banner, is rather miffed. The reason being that his film has been stuck for the past three years. To vent his feeling, he took up his cause on Facebook, where he claims the campaign is quickly gathering steam as users are starting to feel that Varma is playing with Marathe's career.

Marathe's ire seems to brew from the fact that even though the film is ready, it's still not getting a release from its producers, RGV and Adlabs. What further aggravated matters was when people from Rome Film Festival approached RGV for the film; they were never directed to Marathe.

While RGV claims that the film is in its post-production stage, Marathe calls it an excuse and wonders why it's taken three years for a film's post production to be completed.

Apparently, many Facebook users feel for Marathe's cause and have pledged their support, an overwhelming experience for an emotional Marathe.
