ecently Ram Gopal Varma filed a police complaint against Sakar 3 writer and young film maker P Jayakumar. In the Police complaint, RGV has alleged that his photos were morphed by writer P Jayakumar and he also shared those obscene photographs on various social media platforms. A case has been registered against P Jayakumat at Punjagutta police Station. On the other hand, P Jayakumar has accused controversial film maker Ram Gopal Varma 'Officer' to be a copy of his old script. Recently during the media interaction, P Jayakumar opened up about Ram Gopal Varma complaint against him over morph photo. When P Jayakumar was asked, Is he doing all this for cheap Publicity? P Jayakumar said, “I am not doing it for publicity. This is much more serious than casting couch. Ram Gopal Varma has filed a police complaint against me. But I have already sent a legal notice to Akkineni Nagarjuna who is playing the lead role on

Officer, and Ram Gopal Varma regarding my copyright infringement.

Ram Gopal Varma who doesn't know the basic ABCs of filmmaking, is ready to release Officer. Ram Gopal Varma is only trying to divert the issue.

His allegations are completely baseless and false. “ Recently Ram Gopal Varma also leaked the storyline of Officer and claimed that the story is his idea. P Jaya Kumar said, “Ram Gopal Varma cannot make a film on an IPS officer, especially when he's still working in the police department. It is illegal.

There is a reason why a film comes with the disclaimer that all characters appearing in this work are entirely fictitious and any similarity to actual events or persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. A film possesses no reasonable prospect of securing a certificate for public exhibition from Censor Board if it violated the CBFC Guidelines. Ram Gopal Varma doesn't even know the basic fundamentals of filmmaking.”

Ved Bhushan said, “Now I am planning to file an appeal in the Supreme Court on this investigation so that the death of Sridevi can be re-examined.”

ACP also has alleged that underworld don Dawood Ibrahim may be involved in the murder of Sridevi since he has a stronghold in Dubai and also has a close relationship with the Dubai prince’s family. Claims of the life insurance worth Rs 240 Cr have again raised the question: Was it an accidental death or a planned murder? A filmmaker named Sunil Singh, also claimed that Sridevi was murdered. Sunil Singh had earlier filed a PIL seeking an investigation into Sridevi‘s death at the Delhi High Court on 9th March. However, the High Court rejected his plea and dismissed his demand of any further probe. Hence, Sunil Singh decided to move to the Supreme Court. But the SC too has dismissed the petition seeking an independent probe into the death of Sridevi.

Sunil Singh also said in his plea that Sridevi was 5 feet 7 inches tall whereas the bathtub in which she drowned was only 5 feet long.

The Sunil Singh’s lawyer Vikas Singh said , “An insurance policy worth Rs 240 crore in was bought in Sridevi's name in Oman and could be encashed only if the actress died in Dubai."

To shine on the screen and entertain the audiences, one wonders why caste of Savitri is required. The people are fighting on social media to find out if Savitri belongs to Kamma caste or Kapu caste. This is not happening first time. When PV Sindhu brought an medal to India at Rio Olympics, everyone appreciated her but Indians were busy finding out PV Sindhu’s caste. They tried to take the help of Google search to know her caste. Same things also happened when Siva Balaji was declared the winner in the Bigg Boss, people started searching the caste.

But few people are saying that Savitri belongs to Kamma caste. The reason is that the uncle Kommareddy Venkaiah Chowdary supports Savitri in realising her dream and helps her getting movie offers. As his name has Chowdary tag, the Telugu people thought that Savitri is Kamma because her uncle is Chowdary. But now everyone is curious to know if the parents of Savitri are Kapus then how is her uncle a Chowdary? Savitri's aunt was in the love of a Chowdary and she married a Chowdary.
