Meanwhile, director Ram Gopal Varma's reply to Mahesh Babu's statement about bollywood is creating waves on social media. "It is his choice as an actor," ram gopal varma stated. But I had no idea what he meant when he said bollywood couldn't afford him. I'm still not sure what he meant since, as you can see from recent South indian films, they were dubbed and released, and they made whatever money they did."
"First and foremost, bollywood is not a company," the Siva filmmaker added. It's a term coined by the media. I don't understand how he can generalise bollywood when an individual movie business or production house may ask you to shoot a film at a specific cost." mahesh babu has been silent and never reacted to RGV or his comments yet and he wanted to keep a stoic silence right now.
