I will not tolerate falsehood - RGV

Ram Gopal Varma is in the news again, and this time it’s for a controversy surrounding his social media post and funding allegations for his movie Vyooham, related to the Andhra Government.

1. The movie Vyooham is produced by Dasari Kirankumar and Srikanth provided the finance.

2. My partner Ravi Varma himself bought AP fiber net broadcasting rights from financier Srikanth.

3. AP Fibernet bought broadcasting rights from Ravi Varma at a cost of two crores. But only crores of rupees came to the account. This is a deal for Srikanth and Ravi Varma.

4. These rights are granted to AP Fibernet for a period of 60 days. According to AP Fibernet, they got one lakh and fifty thousand views. At that time, the TDP party filed a complaint with the Election Commission and stopped the broadcasts. AP Fibernet has withheld the balance amount due to Ravi Varma.

5. My partner Ravi Varma filed a case in civil court for not paying his dues.

6. We are also filing defamation case against some TV channels TV5, ABN, Maha TV and some channels who have falsely advertised Ravi Varma and me and damaged our reputation.

Varma’s film Vyooham, starring Ajmal Amir as YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, has also been in the news, with the director announcing that he would quit making political films after this project.

It’s worth noting that Ram Gopal Varma has been a pioneer in changing the grammar of Telugu and Hindi cinema, known for his unconventional approach to storytelling and filmmaking.
