Ram
Gopal
Varma
is
one
such
director
who
never
shies
away
from
expressing
his
views
about
everything
under
the
sky.
He
is
best
known
for
his
tongue
in
cheek
remarks
and
comments
on
social
media.
We
had
earlier
reported
about
his
bizarre
revelation
about
his
film
on
the
current
Coronavirus
situation.
He
had
shared
the
strange
similarity
between
the
story
he
scripted
two
years
back
and
the
current
situation.
Furthermore,
RGV,
who
usually
stays
in
limelight
for
making
movies
on
controversial
subjects
has
announced
the
movie
while
interacting
with
a
TV
news
channel.
He
revealed
that
he
has
already
completed
the
scripting
process
for
the
movie.
Talking
about
the
movie
titled
Virus,
which
he
had
planned
back
in
the
year
2018,
it
is
about
an
outbreak
in
Mumbai
of
a
highly
contagious
disease
more
dangerous
than
Ebola
with
a
fatality
rate
of
100%.
In
the
post
revealing
the
story,
he
had
added
that
the
story
which
has
been
extensively
researched,
is
a
chilling
portrayal
of
a
very
real
and
horrific
possibility.
He
had
oddly
mentioned
the
government's
guidelines
and
social
distancing
in
the
plot
of
the
movie.
He
wrote,
"In
VIRUS,
a
Student
contracts
a
deadly
disease
from
a
visit
to
central
Africa
and
soon
it
spreads
like
wildfire
in
Mumbai
City.
A
panicky
and
totally
unprepared
government
warns
the
people
of
Mumbai
to
maintain
a
distance
of
at
least
20
feet
from
each
other
which
becomes
impossible
in
a
2
crore
populated
city."(sic)
Well,
for
reasons
unknown,
Virus
didn't
go
on
floors.
Recently,
Ram
Gopal
Varma
posted
on
Twitter
that
he
has
been
tested
positive
for
the
deadly
Coronavirus.
But
later,
he
mentioned
that
it
was
just
a
prank
for
the
April
fool
day.
The
director
was
highly
criticized
for
his
insensitive
tweet,
for
which
he
later
apologised.
