Director Varma explained that he was not evading or absconding from the Maddipadu Police and that he was just doing his work. The clarification read, “Sorry to disappoint all those people who got hugely entertained by my so called absconding and the police teams trying to hunt me down across various states like Maharashtra,Chennai etc , because all this time I was here only attending my film work”.
Ram Gopal Varma in questioning the accusations and controversies has also justified his actions of posting memes and trolls about a particular political party over a year ago, saying he posts around 10 posts on social media per day continuing, “I many times put more than 10 to 15 posts a day which will be amounting to thousands of posts in a period of one year ..I have no knowledge of the posts what they say I allegedly put .. The alleged meme posts were related to the promotion of a political satire film i made which has been granted censor certificate which already released many months ago”.

He also pointed out each and every section, explaining the sections under which an FIR is filed on Ram Gopal Varma’s name while pointing out to his exercising rights as a Indian Citizen as, “What is supposedly posted on my social media is protected under ARTICLE 19(1)a of the constitution of India which clearly states that everyone shall have the right to express their views and opinions freely. This includes not only words of mouth, but also a speech by way of writings, pictures, movies, banners, etc.”
The post also includes several new outlets tagged along, likely the outlets that pointed out and published accusations. He has also revealed the reasons for not being able to cooperate with the police a few times through calls.
