'Ram Gopal Varma is not a terrorist'

This is how Maharashtra's Chief Minister, Vilasrao Deshmukh tried to clear Ram Gopal Varma's name from the ongoing controversy around the Bollywood filmmaker's visit to the devastated Taj hotel along with the Chief Minister and his Bollywood actor son Riteish Deshmukh.

The filmmaker defended himself saying that he meant no insensitivity to anybody when he went to the Taj yesterday. The hotel, along with the Trident and Nariman House has been the site of one the most brutal terrorist attacks in India.

Varma clarified that the Chief Minister did not invite him. He just happened to be with the CM's actor son Riteish whom he knows for years. The visit became the centre of a political storm that, of many things, has led to the Chief Minister's exit now.

Varma, known for his realistic and hard hitting style of filmmaking was criticized for trying to use his connection with the CM's son, and capitalize on the terror attack's aftermath by planning to exploit the current tragedy as a plot for a film in future.

The director however emphasized, "he has no intention of ever making a movie on what he saw inside."

And from there on it was Manish’s game plan, after all, he’s transformed many a Bollywood girl in to glam queens. He suggested that it would be a pity to waste such a well-toned body by not showing it off. That’s how the idea of a special song was born. And is she looking hot? Talk about her ‘shapely’ success, and Rani says, “Believe me, I didn’t starve at all. I love my food, especially rice and sweets. There was no way I was giving up all that. So, I just worked out harder and was occasionally allowed my ‘cheat’ meals of rice, sweets, etc. ...
