Ram
Gopal
Varma
On
Women
Buying
Liquor
During
the
lockdown,
RGV
had
shared
a
picture
of
women
standing
outside
a
wine
shop
to
buy
alcohol.
He
tweeted,
"Look
who's
in
line
at
the
wine
shops
..So
much
for
protecting
women
against
drunk
men."

The
director
had
received
backlash
from
many
people,
including
some
celebs,
for
judging
women.
RGV
On
Nathuram
Godse
In
June
2020,
Ram
Gopal
Varma
had
revealed
that
he
is
penning
a
film
based
on
Nathuram
Godse's
perspective
and
intention
behind
killing
Mahatma
Gandhi.
In
a
controversial
tweet,
he
wrote,
"I
strongly
believe
that
Godse's
motivation
to
kill
Gandhi
was
100
per
cent
patriotism.
I
read
a
book
on
Gandhi's
grandson
who
was
fascinated
on
why
Godse
has
killed
his
grandfather.
I
also
read
Larry
Collins
and
Dominique
Lapierre's
Freedom
At
Midnight
and
followed
Godse's
confession
in
the
court.
My
film
The
Man
Who
Killed
Gandhi
will
be
from
Godse's
perspective.
Gandhi
will
appear
in
the
last
scene."

Ramu
On
Journalist
Arnab
Goswami
After
the
tragic
death
of
Bollywood
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput,
journalist
Arnab
Goswami
had
slammed
Bollywood
biggies
for
endorsing
nepotism
in
the
showbiz
industry.
Arnab's
claims
didn't
go
down
well
with
RGV,
as
he
lashed
out
at
him
and
decided
to
make
a
film
on
the
journalist.
The
director
wrote,
"ARNAB" THE
NEWS
PROSTITUTE
After
extensively
studying
him
I
mulled
on
whether
the
tagline
should
be
The
News
Pimp
or
The
News
Prostitute
though
both
are
relevant
I
finally
settled
on
prostitute
for
its
sound."

RGV
Asked
Rhea
Chakraborty
To
Do
Interviews
During
the
investigation
of
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
death
case,
his
ex-girlfriend
and
actress
Rhea
Chakraborty
was
trolled
badly
on
social
media.
At
that
time,
Rhea
gave
an
exclusive
interview
to
India
Today
in
which
she
revealed
many
things
about
her
relationship
with
the
late
Bollywood
actor,
his
family
and
death.
The
actress
had
received
mix
response
on
the
internet,
but
RGV
came
out
in
support
of
Rhea
and
tweeted,
"This
interview
is
the
best
thing
@Tweet2Rhea
did
and
should
continue
to
do
non
stop
..Only
way
to
check
the
lies
of
fake
media
is
by
putting
out
the
truth
in
the
same
speed
as
them
Nothing
is
more
dangerous
than
silence
in
today's
times."

Ram
Gopal
Varma
Defended
Anurag
Kashyap
In
MeToo
A
couple
of
months
ago,
actress
Payal
Ghosh
had
accused
director
Anurag
Kashyap
of
sexually
harassing
her
in
2014.
The
actress
even
filed
an
FIR
against
the
filmmaker.
On
this
issue,
RGV
came
out
in
support
of
his
ex-colleague
and
wrote,
"The
@anuragkashyap72
i
know
is
a
highly
sensitive
and
emotional
person
and
I
never
ever
saw
or
heard
about
him
hurting
anyone
in
all
of
the
20
years
that
I
have
known
him
..So
I
frankly
can't
picture
what's
happening
now."
