Ravi Teja’s Irumudi has been a huge hit, but one query that has been lingering for quite some time is – why didn’t the film have police characters or investigation angle in it? And the one who has responded to this query is none other than Shiva Nirvana, the director of the film.
Why Irumudi Has No Police Investigation?
Speaking in a recent interview, he explained his reasons for not including police track in the film. He revealed that it was his conscious decision to avoid making it a police procedural, as he didn’t want to change the character’s mindset. “They themselves know about the police angle. Like, Sai Kumar’s character doesn’t file a complaint against eve-teasing. So, if we had brought any police character and an investigation angle, then we would have diverted the audience’s attention from characters to the police investigation,” he added.
MLA’s Role In The Story
Meanwhile, Shiva Nirvana also talked about the role of MLA in the film. “It is he who orchestrates the murders. We don’t know whether he has compromised the police or managed to cover up the murders by manipulating suicide cases. Which is left on suspense till the end,” he remarked. He added, “But it was a deliberate decision to not take it to the investigation track.”
Moreover, as per Shiva Nirvana, it was a conscious decision to leave out police track. “We just didn’t want the audiences’ attention to go towards the investigation happening outside the auditorium,” he remarked.
