Babu Gogineni vs Ram Gopal Varma on 'The Man Who Killed Gandhi' poster

Tollywood: Ram Gopal Varma announced a new movie 'The Man Who Killed Gandhi' and released a poster of the same. The poster did not go well with some people, including Babu Gogineni. Babu Gogineni calls the poster outrageous and tells that he should withdraw the poster.

"OUTRAGEOUS POSTER! To morph the pictures of the assassin and the assassinated, and to weld them together for a film is wicked. Even evil. At the very least it shows a lack of respect for human life and a gross insensitivity to basic human decencies. Is this a nasty attempt to show that Godse the assassin is half-Gandhi or that Gandhi the victim is half-Godse? In which moral Universe will this irresponsibility be considered OK? This is unparalleled mischief. I ask that Sri Ram Gopal Varma withdraw this poster and acknowledge a colossal failure of judgement and rectitude. In the past he changed film titles when he had to do so, he withdrew from films he earlier threatened he would make." posted Babu Gogineni on Twitter.

However, RGV responded to the same. "The intention of the morph will be understood in the final film and i am within my rights to exercise my artistic vision like u are in offending God believers. Its not right on ur part to jump the gun even before u see final product. I suggest u take a chill pill and have a beer."

RGV also wrote "Freedom of speech and expression is intended to be protected from those who get offended. if nobody gets offended you won't need it." posted RGV.
