Rangeela director Ram Gopal Varma is often in the headlines for his controversial statement or inappropriate views on most things and he often gets trolled for his antics on social media platforms.
Recently, RGV is once again in the spotlight after a sensuous video of him dancing with a woman on a Bollywood song went viral on social media. The woman in the video is said to be actress Inaya Sultana.
In the video, the director appears to be dancing with Inaya on her birthday to a Bollywood song. The duo is seen enjoying the performance to the fullest and was seen swaying to the song’s beats.
As the video began to spread and the fans started to raise their voices against RGV’s behaviour, the director shared a post on Twitter, in which he shared the video and wrote that he’s not the one in the video and the girl is also not Inaya.
He wrote: “I once again want to clarify that the guy in this video is not me, and the girl in red is not Inaya Sultana, and I swear this on American President JOE BIDEN (sic).”

Netizens were outraged by his inappropriate behaviour with the actress and started trending the #BoycottBollywood. Many pointed out how women have to tolerate these things and go through ‘these’ kinds of casting couch episodes for their carrer.
One user wrote:
How can you tolerate him (the uncle)…?? He is putting his leg on the table just by your cake.
Is that a offer for film or anything like that is that much important that you comprise with your soul. Its feel sad that sweet innocent girls are doing this for anything.
