Ram Gopal Varma has written about his trials for becoming a director. Ramoji had started Usha Kiron Movies and made refreshing films like Srivariki Prema Lekha. To have access to him RGV wrote an article for Newstime titled “The Ideas that killed 30 million people” and it was published RGV got an appointment with Ramoji and he expressed his idea of directing a film to him. Ramoji outrightly rejected on the basis of Ramu having no practical experience at all.
Ramoji was not convinced with the argument of Ramu that a director does not need experience; he just needs clarity of vision and to have the skill to communicate. Ramoji did not buy it.
