Director
Ram
Gopal
Varma
has
yet
again
come
into
limelight
by
extending
support
to
Karan
Johar,
who
has
become
the
latest
victim
of
social
media
hatred.
The
renowned
producer
of
Bollywood
has
been
highly
criticized
by
netizens,
who
have
called
him
the
flag
bearer
of
nepotism,
and
one
of
the
reasons
behind
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
death.
RGV
during
an
interaction
with
host
Siddharth
Kannan,
slammed
people
for
criticizing
Karan
for
promoting
nepotism
in
the
industry.
Calling
out
social
media
for
its
fake
storm,
he
said,
"Social
media
suddenly
brews
up
and
catches
fire,
it
rages
and
dies
down.
This
has
happened
umpteen
times.
This
is
not
the
first
time
it
happened,
which
is
why
I
am
calling
it
a
fake
storm.
But
once
it
settles
down,
all
the
actors
need
work,
and
they
will
go
for
the
top
filmmakers,
out
of
which
Karan
Johar
is
one."
Talking
about
Karan,
RGV
said
that
the
producer
has
become
a
success
in
the
industry
because
of
his
works
which
got
immense
love
from
people
and
not
because
he
is
an
insider
or
Yash
Johar's
son.He
said,
"A
man
doesn't
become
successful
himself,
he
is
made
successful
by
the
people
who
watch
his
film
or
who
are
wanting
to
watch
his
films.
And
that
is
the
reason
why
people
know
Karan
Johar,
not
because
he
is
an
insider
or
Yash
Johar's
son.
You
can't
take
that
away
from
him.
Hating
him
and
not
understanding
why
he
became
successful
in
the
first
place.
He
is
not
the
one
who
should
be
blamed
for
being
successful,
rather
people
should
be
blamed
for
making
him
successful."
Earlier,
he
had
called
Karan
a
bigger
victim
and
tweeted,
"Just
want
to
say
this
to
the
ignorant
social
lynch
mob
that
@karanjohar
is
a
bigger
victim
in
this
context
compared
to
their
ill-perceived
and
suddenly
discovered
victim
Sushant." He
also
went
on
to
say
that
society
would
collapse
without
nepotism.
On
the
work
front,
RGV
recently
released
his
movie
Climax
amid
COVID-19
lockdown.
Featuring
Mia
Malkova,
the
movie
was
released
on
RGV
World,
which
received
a
mixed
response
from
the
audiences.
