Sharing the poster of the film, he wrote, &#8220;With regard to media speculations on the case filed on my film MURDER ,I once again want to reiterate that my film is based and inspired from a true incident and it is not the truth ..Also there\u2019s no mention of anyone\u2019s caste in the film.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">With regard to media speculations on the case filed on my film MURDER ,I once again want to reiterate that my film is based and inspired from a true incident and it is not the truth ..Also there\u2019s no mention of anyone\u2019s caste in the film <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/apiT6rKJDn\">pic.twitter.com\/apiT6rKJDn<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RGVzoomin\/status\/1279603971594698753?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 5, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;With regard to the case filed on the basis of uninformed speculations,our advocates will give an appropriate reply as required by law,&#8221;
