Director Ram Gopal Varma surely knows how to stay in the limelight with his controversial tweets, reported Business of Cinema. Recently, he made some hateful comments on Tiger Shroff on his birthday by calling him “bikini babe”. And, he has once again been making headlines following a series of controversial tweets about actor Sunny Leone.
While the whole world was celebrating International Women’s Day, Varma celebrated Happy Men’s Day. The director insulted Leone and in no time, he garnered the wrath of Twitter users.
“Is there no #MensDay because all days in the year belong to only men and the women were given just only one day?” he tweeted. “Women’s day should be called #MensDay because men celebrate women much more than women celebrate women.”
On the occasion of International Women’s Day, he made some obnoxious statements. “I wish all the women in the world give men as much happiness as Sunny Leone gives,” he said.
After receiving backlash from his followers, he replied, “The negative noise towards my tweet on @SunnyLeone arises from ultimate hypocrisy. She has more honesty and more self respect than any woman.”
Without taking Leone’s name, he even tweeted, “Like there is a Womens Day is there a Womens Night also???”
Well, after those controversial tweets, a complaint has been filed against the director. An activist Vishaka Mhambre has filed a case in Goa over Varma’s controversial tweet on Leone.
However, the Sarkar 3 director said that he will file a ‘counter’ against the activist for disrespecting the 18 lakh followers of Leone.
The director also took to Twitter to apologise for his tweet calling it ‘unintended insensitive’. He said, “My apology is only to those who genuinely got offended and not to those who ranted for publicity and threatened to take law into their hands.”
