Ram Gopal Varma who is known for helming controversial movies has made it clear in one of the promotions of his movie that he doesn’t want to make a film with Power Star Pawan Kalyan. He said that he likes the actor a lot but hasn’t watched a lot of his films. He told, “I have not even seen Vakeel Saab. But, it is good to see the trailer.”
As per Times Now, his quote is translated as, “However, I can’t make movies that would give justice to Pawan’s picture, heroism, fan following and expectations of his followers. I make art movies than commercial films that present heroism. If I make a film with such a hero .. it isn’t for them, it isn’t good for the film. Besides, I’m not involved in making commercial movies.”
Last year, a group of Pawan Kalyan fans vandalised filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma’s office in Hyderabad for making a parody film on the actor. Well, for the unversed, Varma made a parody movie Powerstar, with Pawan Kalyan’s doppelganger. It was a satire that was on the actor’s political defeat in the general elections in 2019. Fans couldn’t tolerate RGV making a parody film on their favourite actor.
Currently, Varma is gearing up for the release of the Telugu horror film, Deyyam. It is written and directed by RGV and the film stars Rajasekhar and Bigg Boss fame Swati Dixit. The movie is slated to release on April 16 in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Hindi, and Malayalam.
While Pawan Kalyan’s film Vakeel Saab by Sriram Venu is getting rave reviews from audiences. Even critics have given positive reviews on the film. It is the Telugu remake of Amitabh Bachchan starrer Pink. Kalyan made a comeback with Vakeel Saab after three years.
