Controversial filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has once again landed in legal trouble, with a fresh complaint filed against him at the Rajahmundry 3 Town Police Station. The complaint, lodged by Rashtriya Praja Congress founder president Meda Srinivas, alleges that Varma has been inciting acts of religious and social terrorism.
Addressing the media after filing the complaint, Srinivas accused Varma of deliberately creating unrest in society through his provocative comments and content, which he claimed are aimed at disturbing communal harmony. “This is not just about cinema or creative freedom — it’s about using influence to spread hatred and division. We demand strict action under relevant sections of the law,” he stated.
The complaint seeks police investigation into Varma’s recent statements and projects, urging authorities to register a case and proceed with legal action. Srinivas said his party would not remain silent if public sentiments and social peace are being tampered with under the guise of free expression.
The Rajahmundry police have acknowledged receipt of the complaint and are said to be reviewing the material submitted. So far, no FIR has been registered, but officials have indicated that they will examine whether the allegations warrant formal proceedings.
This isn’t the first time Ram Gopal Varma has courted controversy. Known for his unfiltered opinions and bold portrayals in films and social media posts, Varma has frequently drawn criticism from various quarters, including political, religious, and social groups.
The Rashtriya Praja Congress has stated that if the police fail to act, they will escalate the matter through legal channels and public campaigns. As of now, Ram Gopal Varma has not responded to the allegations.
