Some of today's finest directors, script writers, composers and actors have at some point or the other worked with Varma, particularly Amitabh Bachchan, Manoj Bajpai, A.R.Rahman, Anurag Kashyap, Jaideep Sahni, Madhur Bhandarkar, Puri Jagannadh and Sriram Raghavan.
After the attack on Mumbai he has been heavily criticized for accompanying with Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh to Taj Hotel along with his son to witness the carnage. He gave several interviews to news television but has bungled up the issue completely. No wonder, SMS's which ridicule Varma says "Ram Gopal Varma yahi kamaai ..do sarkar banai... ek giraai".
Ramu's Emotions
I really think I am a very non-emotional person, but I understand emotions more than anyone else I know. I study emotions like a biologist studies species. Emotions almost are like drugs — they make you feel high or low — they come from a certain source you cannot identify, so they control you. The moment you understand the source, you can’t let it affect you. In that sense, I’m very non-emotional. People who are close to me are scared to believe this.
News Channels : Something out of Nothing
I saw this story on one of the channels about somebody claiming Aishwarya would bring bad luck to Amitabh Bachchan’s house. They had this very worried looking picture of Amitabh and a smiling one of Aishwarya. And they put horror music on it. I find that genius. I know them both, I know it’s all humbug, but in spite of that, for one second they made me scared of Aishwarya. Two video clips, and one piece of music. If they can do it to me who has first hand knowledge, what effect will it have on others?
