Ram Gopal Varma asked SS Rajamouli to increase his security after the former’s film RRR makes its mark at the international film awards. The film has already won a Gloden Globe and two Critics Choice Awards and is now eyeing for the Oscars.
RRR for Oscars
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has praised SS Rajamouli for all the awards he is receiving and urged him to raise his security. Also, he claimed to be a part of an “assassination squad” of filmmakers set to kill the RRR director.
On January 23, he went on a drunk-tweeting spree about SS Rajamouli. He tweeted that a bunch of jealous filmmakers, including him, have planned to kill Rajamouli, with a disclaimer that RGV was ‘four drinks down’.
But before this, Ram Gopal Varma took to his Twitter account and posted a video shared by RRR’s official account that featured SS Rajamouli talking to Avatar director James Cameron. To this, Ram Gopal Varma wrote, “Hey @ssrajamouli U basically SURPASSED every filmmaker from #KaAsif who made #MughaleAzam till #RameshSippy who made #Sholay and also the likes of Aditya Chopras, Karan Johars and the bhansalis of India and I want to suck ur little toe for that.”

You made the best films in the ’80s and 90s, even 2k, which are far superior to today, and you made a benchmark. You’re an influencer for many directors like SSRajamouli. What was missing back then was PAN, which is why they were limited to a region/state.

Dude, dont take any awards seriously, lot of good movies are there which did not get oscar, for example Shiva (RGV)/Geetanjali (Maniratnam), a lot K Viswanath and Balachander movies like Rudraveena. And super BGm always by Ilayaraja. Those are classics.
