Actor Radha Ravi used to tell everyone that the general public has a negative impression on his late father M.R. Radha on account of the MGR shooting incident. He claims that his father was also a reformist, next only to E.V. K. Ramasamy Naikar (Periar). It was a pity that no statue of his father was allowed to be erected just because he served a jail sentence arising out of the MGR shooting incident, he said. His along time ambition was to tell the masses about the greatness of his late father hence this 'Maraka Mudiyuma' series, a project which he has an hand. Therefore, viewers can expect to see MR Radha being portrayed as a hero of sorts in this serial. Of course, MGR die-hard fans will be sorely disappointed. Incidentally, the dubbing voice over for the MR Radha character in this serial is without doubt Radha Ravi's. So, you can see the connection. But then, again according to reliable sources, the actual truth culminating the shooting incident will never be known due to its sensitiveness.
