In New Delhi, Ram Gopal Varma, a filmmaker whose tweets frequently get him in hot water, has stoked a new controversy. His provocative remark against Droupadi Murmu, the BJP’s presidential candidate, which included a reference to the “Mahabharata,” has resulted in a complaint being brought against him.
“Who are the Pandavas if DRAUPADI is the President? And more significantly, who are the KAURAVAS? “, he tweeted.

Gudur Narayana Reddy, a senior in the Telangana BJP, complained about Mr. Varma for the tweet, saying it was disrespectful to the SC/ST community. “The police have assured us that they would prosecute him harshly.
Soon after, the director provided clarification: “My favourite character in the Mahabharata is Draupadi, but since the name is so uncommon, I only remembered the characters that were associated with it, which is why my attitude is what it is not at all intended to offend anyone’s feelings “.
Ram Gopal Varma was criticised by a different Telangana-based BJP MLA who claimed that the filmmaker tweets such things while “drunk.” He continued, “Varma always strives to be in the spotlight by making such divisive comments.
Mr. Varma recently intervened in a dispute over Hindi being the official language between Bollywood star Ajay Devgn and Kannada actor Sudeep Sanjeev. He charged Bollywood stars with being “insecure and jealous” of their southern competitors’ success in a tweet.
