Now that the party has begun (with KCR saying that those who are found consuming drugs will be treated as victims), Ram Gopal Varma's creative impulses have limped back to normalcy.

"They made so much of hullabaloo. And then they are saying that those who were investigated will be treated as victims. The SIT should reveal what all evidence they have got and what all those who were questioned told them. It's not like the climax is over with Ravi Teja's interrogation done. When nothing was known about the case, the interrogated were labelled as villains and the investigators were projected as if they are heroes," RGV said.

On lyricist Jonnavithula's criticism of RGV for juxtaposing Charmme with Rani Laxmibai, the publicity-crazy director has it that the Jhansi warrior fought with the British for her own 'rajyam'. "There was nothing called India in 1857. India came into existence in 1947. He should know the history first," Ramu thundered, forgetting that Rani was one of the most ferocious leaders of what has come to be described as 'The First War of Independence'.
