Nobody cared about Swathi for over three hours and she was just lying dead on a railway platform. I couldn't bear that.""Yes, there is politics within the censor board. Just wait for five more days and I'll open up about all the atrocities within the police system, censor board, and more. If I speak now, they will create more problems," he said.
