I used to stand in line to buy a ticket for her films with the police beating me with lathis and I used to look at this 50 ft hoarding of her in Vijayawada… From there to see her in a kitchen like a maid! So, then to see her in a ghar ka kitchen making coffee was a huge letdown. I’ve never seen stardom like Sridevi’s - the visual effect of the thing. For me, in addition to what I feel about her at a personal level, coupled with this knowledge, she always looked like a damsel in distress, that little girl lost in the woods. I’ve done two films with her so I’m kind of acclimatised to her. I also know that she has always been acting since the age of three she never went to school her world exposure is almost zero. Like I mentioned in the book, Sridevi went through a lot of trauma with her father’s death, mom’s illness and lots of that stuff. The chapter on Sridevi is very funny, especially the Boney Kapoor angle. Read: Aamir Khan and intolerance: How Bollywood turned against its own Read: RGV in Guns & Thighs: Why the outrage when I visited Taj on 26/11? There are a lot of people who dislike me and a lot who like me but I wouldn’t be knowing the number. Later I went back and saw the whole video and I was quite surprised.ĭoes the compulsion to speak your mind make you unpopular in Bollywood? So when you tweeted about Aamir Khan, you hadn’t seen the whole video? The Aamir thing that’s happening right now… If you listen to the whole thing, it’s nothing but the moment you take those two lines out of context… I thought the compliment was obvious in the tweet but most people didn’t and all the Hindi channels went berserk. Most of the time I take me being high as an excuse! I put that up at around 12 in the night and Mr Bachchan sent me the first message in the morning and he said, ‘Sarkar’ - both of us call each other ‘sarkar’ - ‘just get ready for the sky to fall down. Were you actually high when you tweeted that? Like what you said about Amitabh Bachchan. What is the point of making a noise? With Twitter, there’s an instrument in your hand and you say something and it’s out there!
The whole point of you saying something is that it has to come from a strength of feeling and it has to make a point. Everybody knows things are being said just for effect and that no one means anything and that nothing will come out of it. Your lack of political correctness comes out in the book and in your tweets. The cover of filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma’s autobiography, Guns & Thighs. I find it very ironic that you need beauty to attract attention to even that. I find it very funny that you should feel sad about a certain disease and then you see the most beautiful woman, and make her almost feel guilty that she has much more than what others have. I said, “That’s me, that’s actually what I feel about women and what they do to beautiful women.” I insisted it should be kept in.
The editor (of the book) asked me to cut those parts, to not use such harsh descriptions but I was very insistent. I’m sure a lot of people will be enraged by the statement. You’ve said some controversial things in the book - like how beautiful women like Katrina and Deepika shouldn’t be used as ambassadors for ‘ugly’ diseases. There are a lot of people who dislike me and a lot who like me but I wouldn’t be knowing the number, says filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma.(Virendra Singh Gosain / Hindustan Times)
On the eve of the launch of his memoir Guns & Thighs, Ram Gopal Varma talks about reckless tweeting, watching porn, his belief that women are about creating sexual desire while men are about power, and his disdain for political correctness.
