Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, who was recently in the headlines due to reports of the Andhra Pradesh Police allegedly hunting for him, has now addressed all the rumors and clarified the situation through a detailed post on social media. The controversy revolves around a case filed against him over a tweet he shared a year ago, leading to four cases being lodged against him. Reports spread quickly, claiming that the police were searching for Varma, and rumors even suggested that he was absconding.
Police Did Not Visit His Office
In a lengthy post on X (formerly known as Twitter), Ram Gopal Varma addressed the accusations and refuted the claims of him going into hiding. His first point emphasized that he had not gone anywhere and was simply focused on his film work. He made it clear that despite rumors, the police had not even visited his office, nor had they communicated their intention to arrest him either to his staff or the media.
In his own words, Varma questioned, “If they intended to arrest me, why wouldn’t they come into my den office?” He went on to explain that the police had never made any direct attempts to arrest him, and this raised suspicions of a larger conspiracy behind the cases being filed against him.
Clarifying the FIR and Legal Sections
Ram Gopal Varma also addressed the FIR filed against him, which was based on the alleged memes that led to the charges. He revealed that the FIR was filed under multiple sections of the law, including sections 336 (4), 353 (2), 356 (2), 61 (2), 196, 352 of BNS, and section 67 of IT. Varma took the time to explain what each of these sections meant, adding more clarity to the situation.
Phone Switching Off and Work Commitments
One of the other points raised in the media was Varma’s decision to switch off his phone, which led to speculation that he was trying to avoid the authorities. In his clarification, the filmmaker explained that he had turned off his phone simply to avoid incessant calls from the media and others. He emphasized that this decision was purely to allow him to focus on his ongoing work commitments, especially for his film.
Respect for the Law
In his final remarks, Ram Gopal Varma reiterated his respect for the law and made it clear that he would abide by all legal rules. Despite the media frenzy, he assured his followers that he had no intention of evading the legal process.
Varma’s Admiration for Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Work
In addition to this legal clarification, Ram Gopal Varma has also been making headlines for his admiration of filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s recent movie, Vanga. The filmmaker expressed his fondness for the film and praised both Vanga and actor Ranbir Kapoor for their impressive work in the movie. This newfound praise for Vanga’s film is another point of interest for Varma’s followers, who are keen to know more about his opinions on the latest trends in the film industry.
Conclusion
Ram Gopal Varma’s clarification has brought much-needed transparency to the situation, dispelling the rumors of him absconding and addressing the legal matters head-on. With the police yet to take any significant action, Varma’s fans are hoping that the controversy surrounding him will soon settle, allowing the filmmaker to continue focusing on his film projects without further distractions.
