Yandamuri comments Ram Gopal Varma

The senior writer/actor Yandamuri Veerendranath was sharing his thoughts in a TV program and the topic came to director Ramgopal Varma’s book ‘Naa Ishtam’. He said “there is a joke which goes like this - one monkey keeps climbing and getting down a tree daily and public who see this are happy. Eventually, that monkey started charging a ticket of Rs 50 for its show. It also gave a cover to all who came and told them to go home and open it. The public came, watched the show, went home and opened the cover. There was a piece of paper which read ‘you left all your important work and came just to see my antics, how absurd is that?’. ‘Naa Ishtam’ is just like that. It is only publicity material by RGV without any content.”
