| Controversy | Addressed as "a person with a slave mentality" Ram Gopal Verma, an Indian film director and screenwriter, released the trailer of his film âPowerstarâ in July 2020, which was rumoured to be based on the life of Indian actor, filmmaker, and politician, Pawan Kalyan . Nikhil, who was upset with the filmâs trailer, referred to Ram Gopal Verma and posted a tweet, which read, Shikaram ni chusi Kukka entha Morigina.. a maha shikaram thala thippi chudadhu...meeeku Ardham ayyindi ga." (No matter how loud a dog barks at a summit, the summit wonât even glance at it.) After his tweet went viral, the reporters asked Ram Gopal Verma about his response to the tweet following which he remarked Nikhil as a person with a slave mentality and replied, I donât know who Nikhil is; all these people are the same. They all like being his followers in hope that he has a good impression of them. All this stems from a pure slave mentality, but itâs fine. Nikhil must be a star, but theyâre all the same, so how does it make a difference to me.â check sources The Times of India |

In the first year of my BE, I was very diligent and never missed a class but after that, I discovered my calling is elsewhere.

This gave me an idea of how things actually work in Tollywood.â check sources The New Indian Express
