Acclaimed filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has found himself embroiled in a fresh controversy. He faces legal action for allegedly posting offensive content on social media targeting prominent Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leaders.
Controversial Promotions for ‘Vyuham’
Ram Gopal Varma’s social media posts, reportedly aimed at Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu and his family, have sparked legal complaints. These posts were part of his promotional campaign for Vyuham, a political drama about the 2009 helicopter crash that killed Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy and the rise of Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy. The film’s release, timed just before elections, led to accusations of defamation against TDP leaders.
Past Controversies with TDP
This isn’t Varma’s first clash with the TDP. His film Lakshmi’s NTR, which portrayed N.T. Rama Rao’s relationship with his second wife, Lakshmi Parvathi, also sparked tensions with TDP leaders. Varma has long been critical of Naidu and Lokesh, even recently accusing them of targeting his work.
