The
Background
It
was
2016
and
Sudeep
was
being
praised
for
his
performance
in
Kotigobba
2.
Bollywood
director
Ram
Gopal
Varma
upon
watching
film,
also
shared
a
couple
of
tweets.
However,
the
comments
he
shared
initiated
a
controversy,
which
blew
out
of
proportion.
What
RGV
said
The
Bollywood
director
tweeted,
"@KicchaSudeep
I
just
saw
kotigobba
2
and
I
honestly
think
u
shud
change
ur
name
from
Kiccha
Sudeepa
to
Rajni
Sudeepa.." and
"@KicchaSudeep
But
Rajni
can
do
just
only
one
type
whereas
u
proved
ur
better
versatality
from
Autograph
to
Eega
to
Kotigobba
2
to
many
more"
Things
Got
Ugly
While
RGV
first
few
comments
irked
Rajini
fans,
what
he
said
later
only
made
the
matter
worse.
Drawing
a
comparison
between
Sudeep
and
Dr
Vishnuvardhan,
the
director
tweeted,"@KicchaSudeep
Saw
Kotigobba..compared
to
ur
performance
in
Kotigobba
2
Vishnuvardhan
looks
amateur
n
if
his
fans
disagree
they
also
amateur"
Kiccha
Objected
The
Tweet
Though
Sudeep
and
Ram
Gopal
Varma
share
a
cordial
relationship,
the
actor
couldn't
agree
with
what
the
director
had
to
say.
He
responded
by
tweeting,
"@RGVzoomin
thanks
fr
th
appreciation
sir....but
I'm
nowhere
close
nor
a
comparison
to
th
two
legends,
Vishnusir
&
RajiniSir.."
Peace
To
Vishnu's
Fans!
Vishnu
fans
were
furious
with
RGV
for
demeaning
the
legendary
actor.
However,
Sudeep
knew
how
to
handle
the
situation
and
his
response
helped
in
calming
the
fans
down.
For
Ram
Gopal
Varma,
this
wasn't
a
big
deal
as
he's
targeted
many
celebrities
such
as
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Rajnikant
and
others
on
social
media.
