Ram Gopal Varma is perceived to be an anti-Congress filmmaker. Of course, he doesn't shy away from getting frank about any politician or political party for that matter. But, more often than not, he sounds critical with respect to some parties more than others.

Giving his take on the 'Arjun Reddy' controversy (triggered by the veteran Congress leader V Hanumantha Rao objecting to the film's 'kiss posters'), RGV said on Facebook this ungrammatical thing: As your party became Thatayya, Now because of your childish things all peoples Manavalu and Manavarallu won't vote next and then because of you, your party will become double Thathayya.

It seems RGV is suggesting that Congress is a grand old party in a straight sense! Be that as it may, the regressive behaviour of politicians doesn't consume them. But RGV is known to be glib.

He further said, "Since VHR must have been born in the far outskirts of a remote interior village and wouldn't have had access to a slate and chalk, I advise him to use a helper to translate this line of my advice to him that his mentality of tearing up 'Arjun Reddy' poster can only originate from an extremely regressive and antediluvian, Neanderthal mind set which even the archaic primates would find both medieval and obsolescent."
