Ram Gopal Varma shares bizarre encounter with police
In an appearance on Komal Nahta's podcast Game Changers, he looked back at a time when his tweets caused a stir. He shared that he tweeted something without thinking and later got a call from director Mahesh Bhatt. Mahesh told him there was an uproar over his tweets. Ram Gopal confessed that he had initially forgotten about the tweets that sparked the controversy and was perplexed by the commotion surrounding them.
He said, “4-5 years ago, I had tweeted a few posts, and I did not think about it, whatever I felt. After a few hours, Mahesh Bhatt, sir, called me and said, ‘Ramu, there is a furore over your tweets, but understand that blasphemy is not against the law,’ and I had no idea what he was talking about because I had already forgotten what I had done."
According to Ram Gopal, 6-7 cases were filed against him in connection with the posts he put out on social media. But the situation unfolded in an unexpected manner.
The Satya director shared, “We were trying to aggregate all the cases, but by the time the police got to my office, the court had already reversed the law that very day, under which I was booked. The police had no idea what to do, so they all sat with me, had a drink and then left. Most of what I tweet is out of ignorance, but sometimes I do it just to poke or irritate someone”.
