Deepika-Vanga working hours row was exaggerated: Ram Gopal Varma
The recent controversy between Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone and filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga over working hours has been making headlines for weeks. However, in a recent interview, acclaimed filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has shed new light on the situation, stating that the whole ordeal was “a very exaggerated thing”.
The controversy began when reports surfaced that Deepika Padukone had refused to work beyond 7 pm with Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the director of her upcoming film, “The Fighter”. Vanga was said to be unhappy with the actress’s demands, leading to a heated argument between the two. The incident sparked a debate on social media, with many fans and industry insiders taking sides.
However, in his recent interview, Ram Gopal Varma, known for his no-nonsense approach to filmmaking, has stressed that the situation was blown out of proportion. According to Varma, when it comes to having fixed shift timings for actors, it’s ultimately an agreement between two people.
“Each of them has a right to say what they want,” Varma explained. “Other one has a right to refuse. It’s not like you’re forcing someone to do something. It’s a mutual agreement.”
Varma’s comments suggest that the controversy may have been fueled by miscommunication or misunderstandings between Deepika and Vanga. The filmmaker’s experience in the industry has led him to believe that these kinds of disagreements are common and can often be resolved through open communication.
“I’ve been in this industry for 35 years, and I’ve seen so many actors and directors have different opinions and ideas. It’s normal,” Varma said. “You can’t force someone to do something they don’t want to do. If someone doesn’t want to work at a certain time, you have to respect that.”
Varma’s words of wisdom may come as a relief to fans of both Deepika and Vanga, who have been eagerly awaiting the release of “The Fighter”. The film, which also stars Vijay Deverakonda, has been making waves in the industry with its intense promotional campaign.
Despite the controversy, Varma remains optimistic about the film’s prospects. “I think the film is going to be a hit,” he said. “The trailer looks great, and the songs are fantastic. I think people are going to love it.”
Varma’s endorsement of “The Fighter” is significant, given his reputation as a director who knows his way around a successful film. His credits include hits like “Shiva” and “Satya”, which are still widely regarded as some of the best films of the 1990s.
In conclusion, Ram Gopal Varma’s comments on the Deepika-Vanga working hours row suggest that the controversy may have been exaggerated. The filmmaker’s experience in the industry has led him to believe that these kinds of disagreements are common and can often be resolved through open communication.
As the release of “The Fighter” approaches, fans of the film can only hope that the controversy has not affected the final product. With Varma’s endorsement and the film’s impressive promotional campaign, it’s likely that the movie will be a success, despite the drama surrounding its production.
