Controversial Tollywood director Ram Gopal Varma is back in the spotlight after receiving a police notice, allegedly for depicting politician Chandrababu Naidu and his son, Lokesh, in a negative light in his latest film, Vyooham. Known for stirring debates, Varma accepted the notice in his signature bold style, smiling as he received it, a moment that quickly went viral on social media.
This gesture is seen by many as a subtle way of mocking the authorities’ action, aligning with Varma’s history of outspoken satire, particularly targeting political figures like Naidu and Pawan Kalyan. Over the past five years, he’s regularly voiced critiques online, and his satirical approach hasn’t waned, even after Naidu’s recent political comeback as Andhra Pradesh’s Chief Minister.
Varma has yet to comment on the notice, but the viral image suggests he may not step back from his trademark satire. It remains to be seen how he will navigate this legal challenge. Fans and followers are keen to see how he tackles the ongoing controversy surrounding Vyooham.
