‘Creepazoid’: Internet Slams Ram Gopal Varma For Sexist Remark On Kiara Advani’s War 2 Bikini Scene
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has landed in hot water after sharing a bikini image of Kiara Advani from the War 2 teaser, along with a controversial remark that many have slammed as indecent and offensive. The comment triggered backlash across social media, prompting Varma to delete the post from his official X handle (formerly Twitter).
The teaser for War 2 was released on Tuesday, and excitement was high—until Varma posted an image of Kiara in a bikini from the teaser with the caption:
“Instead of our countries and societies, if the war between Hrithik and Jr NTR is on who gets her bk, then 2 will be a b*buster.”
Netizens reaction
The crude remark left social media users fuming. The backlash was swift and intense, with many netizens calling out the filmmaker's sexist language.
One Reddit user reacted, “What the actual f***.” Another commented, “And this is what he’s saying publicly… can you imagine what he’s like in private?”
Other users chimed in with similar outrage: “He lost it many, many years ago.” “This man has straight-up gone to sleazy, down-bad levels.” “This is just RGV. He’s always been an absolute creepazoid.”
Following the online outrage and widespread criticism, Ram Gopal Varma quietly deleted the post, possibly realizing the extent of the backlash.
