Ram Gopal Varma is NOT contesting the Lok Sabha elections
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma clarifies recent speculation, confirming he won't be contesting in the Lok Sabha elections despite earlier reports.
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, whose ostensible tweet on Women's day created an uproar on Twitter, has now landed him in legal tussle.
The filmmaker posted a series of obscene tweets on the occasion of Women's day, one of which read, "I wish all the women in the world give men as much happiness as Sunny Leone gives.”
While the Sarkar 3 director received a backlash on Twitter for his tweet, Vishaka Mhambrey, a women’s wing of the Hindu Janajagruti group, has reportedly filed a police complaint against him in Goa.

In the complaint, it was mentioned that insulting a woman’s prestige is a cognizable offence under the Indecent Representation of Women Act, hence a complain should be registered against the director under Cyber Law for victimisation of Women.
Retorting to the complaint, Varma tweeted, "Filing counter against OverActivist wid 212 followers which wud b her family n friends, for disrespecting 18 lakh followers of @SunnyLeone.”
“Only God nd Social media numbers r true judges nd who disagree shud check no, of @SunnyLeone followers with their own numbers b4 they tweet," the director added.
Pratiksha,the State Organiser of the Ranaragini group, also demanded that Varma’s Twitter account be permanently blocked.
Ram Gopal Varma is currently busy helming his upcoming flick Sarkar3, which stars Amitabh Bachchan and Jackie Shroffs in pivotal roles.
