Who is Anna Hazare, Asks Ram Gopal Varma


New Delhi, April 8 (IANS) Social activist Anna Hazare's "fast unto death" in his fight against corruption has stirred up support across the nation, but filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma is oblivious to it all, wondering who is Hazare.

Unlike many from the film fraternity who have voiced support to the cause, Varma said he was too busy with his film work.

"I have no idea who Anna Hazaare is as I don't keep track of anyone expect for film people and gangsters. I don't know what he is fasting for because I don't know what he or anybody else in the whole world is up to as I am too busy in my film work," Varma posted on his Twitter page Thursday.

The multi-lingual filmmaker said he would never fast for anything or anyone except himself. However, he hoped the buzz on social networking sites due to Hazare's protest ultimately reaps benefit.

"I will never ever fast for anything except for my own personal diet. Been hearing bout corruption since childhood..hope all the twitter nd Facebook noise will also convert to physical power," he tweeted.

Varma is popular for movies like "Rangeela", "Satya", "Company", "Sarkar", "Sarkar Raj" and the "Rakta Charitra" series.

    These are the type of people in our society, so selfish that they think only about themselves and have the guts to say so too, he has lots of money and makes ample so what is need for him to Shri Anna or anyone who is so selfless and fighting for the future of our kids and their future.

     Very true we should boycott this persons movies. He showed what he was when he went to see the blast place in mumbai on 26/11, for a movie of his, what more can you expect from such a person....

    Like the movement of Anna Hazare, there must be a movement to boycot the film of this infamous producer Ram Gopal Verma who insults the Gandhian social worker who fights for the country and who fights for the next generation. Anna is 72 years old and I pray for his good health and long life. Buts still I question the readers how long this veteran leader shall live to fight against corruption. This is the right time to join hands with Hazare and convert the youth power in to revolution power who can really convert India into a corruption free society..

    Blunder from ram gopal verma!!..majority knows Shri Anna Hazare and his social services but frankly speaking even not even 1% of Indian population dont know who ram gopal verma is!!..
    This celebrity man is interested in films (to spoil the society) but where Shri Hazare is a great personality ..efforts towards making nations corrupt free growth!!..
    Why to ask this celebrity man abt Shri Hazare...if asks ..its as good as 'Nayiya munde Kinnari barisidanthe'
