Ram Gopal Varma announces film titled 'Arnab -The News Prostitute'; calls out the journalist for his TV debates on Bollywood

After the unfortunate demise of Sushant Singh Rajput, a lot of debates around the functioning of Bollywood. Several news channels have also been holding debates on the demise of Sushant Singh Rajput. Reacting to the recent events, Varma tweeted, “Was shocked to see #ArnabGoswami talking about Bollywood in such a horrible way ..He calls it the dirtiest industry ever with criminal connections ,it’s full of Rapists, gangsters, sexual exploiters and what not?It beats me in what dumb way #ArnabGoswami can combine the deaths of Divya Bharthi,Jiah khan, Sridevi and Sushant into one case and claim that the murderer is Bollywood..incidentally the 4 deaths happened over a span of nearly 25 years."

“And in all the four cases of Divya,Jiah,Sridevi and Sushant there were completely different people and circumstances  ..But in Arnab’s mind they are all one and had been killed by an entity called Bollywood,” he added. 

Ram Gopal Varma said, “That guy #ArnabGoswami is banking on the fact that we don’t have the spine and as long as he runs the debate he will anyway make sure no one's point of view is ever heard and that’s his modus operandi anyway.”

“I for one am feeling very strongly about this and I decided to make a film on #ArnabGoswami in which I will take the clothes off his facade and make him naked exposing the lengths and breadths of all his vital corrupt stats,” the filmmaker further added. 

Varma then announced his film based on Arnab Goswami. “ARNAB”THE NEWS PROSTITUTE. After extensively studying him I mulled on whether the tagline should be The News Pimp or The News Prostitute though both are relevant I finally settled on prostitute for its sound. I know I used some hard language in these tweets to describe him but I took a cue of them from our very own dirty mouthed #ArnabGoswamy.”


He further spoke about Arnab reacting to his film, "Hey #ArnabGoswami whether u react to my film or not I don’t care a damn because my target audience is not going to be u , but it will be ur viewers ..I want to shake them up with the way I will expose in my film the back of ur public face in Republic TV."


"On the other hand if u #ArnabGoswami react to my film or try to discredit me I would welcome that too because I can use it for the publicity of my film," he added. 

Ram Gopal Varma asked Bollywood biggies like Aditya Chopra, Karan Johar, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan to speak up against him. “If u guys  #AdityaChopra , @karanjohar@MaheshNBhatt @iamsrk @BeingSalmanKhan are so scared that if u speak against him ,it might go against the current public sentiment don’t forget that it’s him, who aroused that sentiment and ur silence is making u all look guilty for sure”

“Atleast now all film industry people should come out and speak openly about #ArnabGoswami ‘s falsifications instead of running scared like deer from a wild dog,” he added.

Looking forward to work with the filmmaker once again, Akshay Kumar said, "Hardly ever in life does one come across a story that touches your heart so deeply and so instantly! It will make you laugh and it will make you cry. And it will make us realize how blessed are those who have sisters.

EXCLUSIVE: Ranveer Singh turns producer; starts a production house named Maa Kasam Films!

Ranveer Singh will complete ten years in the industry in December 2020. He has become a heartthrob of the nation and has proved his worth by dabbling into various types of roles. His jovial and free-spirited personality and alliance with fellow actor Deepika Padukone also added to his fan following. However, unlike his contemporaries like Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma, Kangana Ranaut and even Deepika, he didn’t turn producer. A few years back, he had said in an interview that he feels that he doesn’t have high business acumen to become one. Hence, he said that he’d rather be a creative producer. He, in the same interview, also said he’d like to make mainstream films with universal theme and “a very young film for teenagers” if he was to become a producer.

EXCLUSIVE: Ranveer Singh turns producer; starts a production house named Maa Kasam Films!

Bollywood Hungama has now exclusively learnt that this talented performer has changed his mind and has finally donned the producer’s hat. Ranveer quietly registered his production house way back on December 28, 2017 along with his mother, Anju Bhavnani. And the name of the production house is quite filmy and suits Ranveer to the T – Maa Kasam Films!

An industry insider couldn’t stop smiling when he heard the name and told this writer, “What a name for a banner! Only Ranveer could have thought of something like this. Aur naam sunn ke lagta hai ki Ranveer Singh ka production house hai! After all, he’s a bindass Mumbai filmy guy and hence someone like him ought to have such a title for his banner.” A trade source also says, “The name Maa Kasam Films is just apt. It also gives a vibe that it’s a production house that’ll focus on entertaining, massy films. That’s something that the industry badly needs. And he’s grown up on masala Hindi films and he worships actors like Govinda, Anil Kapoor, the Khans etc. Based on all these factors, we are sure he’ll make big budget commercial entertainers.”

This is not the only company owned by Ranveer Singh. He has also established IncInk along with Navzar Eranee to back independent music. Further, it has also come to light that along with wife Deepika Padukone, Ranveer has also started a company together called Chalk And Cheese Enterprises. It was established in 2019. Deepika meanwhile runs a production house called KA Productions which was also one of the banners that produced her film Chhapaak (2020).
