Ram
Gopal
Varma,
one
of
the
most
popular
filmmakers
in
Tollywood,
is
no
stranger
to
controversy.
The
Antham
director
has
every
now
and
then
made
outrageous
comments
about
the
likes
of
Sunny
Leone
and
current
Andhra
Pradesh
Chief
Minister
Chandrababu
Naidu
and
proved
that
he
is
one
outspoken
individual.
Now,
RGV
is
in
the
limelight
for
a
surprising
reason.
In
a
shocking
development,
he
tweeted
that
he
is
set
to
contest
against
Pawan
Kalyan
in
the
Andhra
Pradesh
assembly
elections
and
left
fans
in
a
state
of
shock.
"I
am
contesting
against
@PawanKalyan
in
Bhimavaram
..Await
DETAILS," he
tweeted.
The
Siva
director
added
that
his
nomination
papers
were
accepted
due
to
'special
permission' from
the
'very
top'.
"Inspite
of
nominations
stopping
I
got
special
permission
from
the
very
top
to
contest
against
@PawanKalyan
Await
DETAILS,"
he
tweeted.
RGV
shares
an
uneasy
equation
with
the
Gabbar
Singh
actor.
In
fact,
some
time
ago,
he
even
instigated
Sri
Reddy
to
abuse
him
in
public.
He
has
also
trolled
his
movies
big
time
much
to
the
surprise
of
Mega
fans.
As
such,
this
created
a
buzz
amongst
fans
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
However,
he
soon
sent
out
a
tweet
saying
that
it
was
just
an
'Advance
April
Fool'
prank.
This
is
just
an
advance
April
Fool
Joke
..I
hope
no
one
was
stupid
enough
to
believe
it
