Ram Gopal Verma: Sexist?

What’s wrong with Ram Gopal Verma? The Indian director known for making classics such as Satya and whose Sarkar 3 is all set to be released, has made a big Twitter booboo.

On March 8, when the entire world was celebrating International Women’s Day, he posted his ‘wish’ that all the women in the world give as much happiness as Sunny Leone gives! This elicited, rightly so, a strong reaction from countless people who called him sexist. A couple of days later, a women’s organisation filed a complaint against the director with the Goa’s Mapusa Police demanding action against him. They also demanded a boycott of Sarkar 3.

It’s all been downhill for Ramu since he made that terrible Aag, hasn’t it?
