We produce some real gems below where Ramu has reacted to quite a few reactions in his own characteristic wit and sarcasm. Read on and have fun!

1. Is failure not being able to achieve your goal?

Ans: I think there’s no such thing as achievement for the simple reason that as soon as you achieve it its boring. It’s the run towards it is what is exciting.

2. Instead of answering yes or no why do you subject us to your gyan?

Ans: Sorry sir.

3. Make good movies and let your work speak for you.

Ans: Ok sir.

4. From your actress Amrutha am expecting good performance apart from cleavage show.

Ans: You mean you want both?

5. Why did the people in Sarkar Raj celebrate if they were supposed to be ambiguous?

Ans: That was a mistake. I hoped that you would not catch it.

6. Was it a conscious decision to not have dark antagonists in Sarkar Raj?

Ans: My intent was to create a new set of characters. To like them or not is your prerogative.

7. Please write about the making of Company.

Ans: Will do as soon as I get time.

8. How is it that Hollywood recognizes talent better?

Ans: Because they have better brains and for a change I am not being sarcastic. I mean it.

9. You say that Satya released in 97, the promo says 98.

Ans: Does it matter that much to you?

10. What role did you play in Dil Se?

Ans: None. Both mine and Shekhar Kapoor’s names were there just in a friendly level.

11. What do you think of Chiranjeevi’s political entry?

Ans: Nothing.

12. Get rid of those 4-5 people around you.

Ans: Thanks for the brilliant suggestion.

13. Did you ever cry on a girl?

Ans: Yes. I pretended. I believe that nobody genuinely cries. We all pretend to draw attention to our cause.

14. I didn’t expect a back flip of that guy with the use of wires from Contract a quasi-trilogy of Satya and Company.

Ans: To start with Contract is not a realistic dark moody film like the earlier films. Also the protagonist is not from the underworld. It’s more in the genre of a Rambo kind of film but packaged in a very rustic and realistic setting. The scenes and characters are designed to create a slightly tongue-in-cheek entertainment. If Satya is a mix of Goodfellas and the Scarface in its treatment, Company is from Godfather, then Contract is derived from the tone of Luc Besson films.

15. Sorry to say I will not watch Contract.

Ans: Thank you sir.

16. I am trying to get hold of a copy of Drohi.

Ans: Now why the hell would you want to do that?

17. Contract will be a warning to those who thought Ramu is out and dead.

Ans: Or it might put him out and dead.

18. I think all the time you are just having fun.

Ans: Yes.

19. How were you in your childhood?

Ans: Like an adult.

20. What kind of horror movies do you like to watch?

Ans: The kind which lets your imagination scare you.

21. Is Phoonk copied from Exorcist?

Ans: Exorcist was about demonic possession. Phoonk is not.

22. Why don’t Gods or their prophets just make an appearance and put a lock on every atheist’s mouth?

Ans: Superb observation. Let’s just hope that the Gods read this blog and take a cue.

23. My mum comforted me saying people have hit you for making Raat and scaring children.

Ans: Ha Ha.

24. You are the prestidigitator of movie making.

Ans: Whatever that means, it sounds obscene.
