Controversial Tollywood director Ram Gopal Varma has recently found himself in legal trouble. He faces a case for allegedly morphing images of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu in a satirical manner several years ago. Varma promptly approached the court, seeking to have the case dismissed, but the court unexpectedly denied his appeal.
Instead of dismissing the charges, the court instructed Ram Gopal Varma to apply for bail, meaning the case will proceed. Sources suggest that the Andhra Pradesh government is preparing to take further action, potentially involving Varma’s custody for investigation. This development has sent shockwaves through Tollywood.
As the case progresses, Varma may need to attend frequent interrogations, and if the High Court denies his bail request, he could even face arrest. This situation bears similarities to that of actress Kasthuri, who is currently under remand for allegedly making derogatory remarks against the Telugu community.
