Four film associations and 34 leading Bollywood producers filed a civil suit in Delhi High Court against two news channels. The complaint was filed for defamatory reporting against the industry and its members. Now Ram Gopal Varma reacted on this development sating “too late” and even termed it childish.
It all started with these channels using highly derogatory words and expressions for Bollywood such as “dirt”, “filth”, “scum”, “druggies” and expressions such as “it is Bollywood where the dirt needs to be cleaned”, etc.
Reacting to it, RGV tweeted, “Reaction of Bollywood Is too late and too thanda ..All top film people complaining to Delhi high court is amounting to a school kid telling the teacher ‘Teacher, Teacher , wo Arnab mujhe gaali de raha hai’.”
Earlier, Ram Gopal Varma has announced a film on Republic TV editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami, who is also named in the civil suit by Bollywood.
“The tactics he uses to manipulate the psychology of the viewers is what I want to expose. For which, I will take case studies of what is done – probably including the Sushant Singh Rajput case for instance because it is the latest topic. Then, I want to see the analysis of it, kind of deceptive analysis of Arnab Goswami’s mind, and how he completely manipulates it and what he wants to protect. The audience can see and they saw him do that. The film will explain in a dramatic way and how it is done. I am pretty much clear how I want to do it but it is docu-drama. It is not like a feature film or a biopic. It’s like that,” the filmmaker was quoted as saying after announcing the film.
