Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma was known for his clutter-breaking cinema that changed the syntax of storytelling. The immortal and iconic monikers like Shiva, Rangeela, Satya, Kaun, Bhoot, Company, and Sarkar shall never be forgotten. He has also given filmmakers like Sriram Raghavan, Anurag Kashyap, and Shimit Amin to the industry.
For the last few years, he has made more news and noise for his chaotic and controversial tweets. Amid the Iran-USA-UAE conflict, RGV put out this- “The fight between AMERICA and IRAN is the fight between JESUS and ALLAH.. whoever wins I will CONVERT to that.”

RGV on AR Rahman
In an interview that has surfaced on social media, “Rahman was doing a film called Yuvraj for Subhash Ghai and Rahman is always late, it frustrates you not being on time. On this day, Rahman was arriving from airport and Sukhwinder was there, doing something, Rahman came and said hi hi and asked Sukhwinder right in front of Subhash Ghai, “did you compose?”
The filmmaker added, “Sukhwinder said yes, played a song and Rahman said he liked it and asked if Subhash liked it. Subhash got angry and started shoutimg at Rahman saying’ I’m paying you 3 crores for you to do it… i also can get Sukhwinder to do it, why do i need you?”

Ram Gopal Varma added, “Rahman said in reply, ‘mind you tongue Mr Ghai, you are paying for my name, not my work, don’t get confused’ I only said, did you like it I did not say accept it if you don’t like it, I’ll do another song. Rahman said this and then left for Chennai. Sukhwinder told me that Rahman later called him and asked him to complete the song and email it to him.”
