Chennai: Father of young Infosys techie Swathi S, who was brutay murdered by a jilted lover, has fiercely opposed to a movie that has reportedly been made around her murder.
The trailer of the Tamil movie 'Swathi Kolai Vazhakku' (Swathi Murder Case), directed by Ramesh Selvan, was released this week and posters have emerged in the city.
Swathi's father Santhana Gopala Krishnan, who is a retired central government employee, has approached the city police and has filed a complaint against the filmmakers.
"It is not fair or legal," he told the police saying that producers didn't even bother to ask for the family's consent.
In the complaint, the victim's father also questioned the intention of making the movie around her daughter's death and expressed his fear that facts about his daughter could be twisted in the movie.
According to the media report, the producer didn't show the movie to Swathi's father before releasing the trailer.
At the launch of the movie, director Ramesh Selvan said that the movie was shot in the actual locations where the crime and the investigations took place, right down to the city's railway station and the house where Ramkumar, the man arrested for killing Swathi, stayed.
Ramkumar committed suicide in police custody in September last year by putting a live wire in his mouth.
On June 24 last year, young Infosys techie Swathi S was found dead in a pool of dead at a busy railway station in Chennai. According to police, Swathi died after a savage attack by a stalker who stabbed her repeatedly with a sickle.
