Ram Gopal Varma's controversies

राम गोपाल वर्मा की विवादों

Director Ram Gopal Varma has time and again made headlines for his rather controversial tweets. His recently released movie 'Veerappan' opened to mixed reviews by the critics. The 'Aag' director took to Twitter to share positive reviews by critics, however, RGV shamed a female journalist for criticising the film. The director took a screen shot of her photo and posted it with the caption, "So as per your review "Veerappan" the film is as beautiful as your face." He further posted another tweet which read, "I am sorry for the content packaged in the intent but will not apologise for the intent behind the content." He has since deleted both the tweets.

You can’t keep Ram Gopal Varma away from news (read controversies) for long. He manages to raise eyebrows not only during interviews but also through his bold tweets. In his latest tweet, RGV has slammed Government of India’s Swachcha Bharat campaign advertisement and given a piece of advice to India’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. He tweeted, “Films division's Swachcha Bharat Ad is worse than Aag..Someone should tell Mr Narendra Modi that these kind of Ads will make India dirtier.” As expected, Ramu instantly started receiving a flurry of negative comments from Modi’s supporters.

Some time back, RGV had irked producer Boney Kapoor with his comments on the latter’s wife, actress Sridevi. Click on the following slide to know the whole story…
