Ram Gopal Varma

Expect the unexpected

When I first came to Mumbai from Hyderabad, I couldn’t get over a train ride past the Dharavi slums. It looked like one single roof. I wondered how people live there. How do they enter or exit? Two-year-old children were crawling just about three feet away from the railway tracks.

I’m not the only weirdo

How true is it that you’re broke and have shifted from your office to a dilapidated building?
Not true. Actually I have shifted to under a tree and I now operate from a footpath.

We are all programmed

It has always been a mystery to me why someone makes it in life and someone doesn’t. It is not as simple as possessing in-born talent or luck. I am certain that it has actually a lot to do with subconscious programming, not necessarily designed or intended.

Still doing it my way

t has been close to four, maybe five, years that I’ve been on the net. First it was blogging, now it is tweeting. The main reason why it had taken me a bit of time to get to the net was, firstly, that I am a complete net illiterate. And secondly I never cared to.

In the company of ghosts

Whether I believe in ghosts or not is the question. I do believe in making ghost movies and whether I am making a Bhoot or Bhoot 2, or others are making them, I am constantly struck by certain questions.
