Wish you all a very Happy Ugadi and may God bless you with a corona free health and tax free prosperity ...and if you really believe that it will happen you are DUMBER than you are — Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) April 13, 2021

Wish givers give wishes of prosperity to others because they know wishes won’t come true ..But just in case the wishes come true those who will be most upset will be the wish givers themselves..Because no person wants another person to be prosperous except himself. Happy Ugadi — Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) April 13, 2021

Anyone who gives loads of love knows that anything given in loads cannot have value ..So instead of a few grams weighing gold ring they give you tonnes of love because gold is very costly and love is zero cheap Happy Ugadi  — Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) April 13, 2021

All celebrities give loads of love to their fans but never even one paisa ,which again proves my point that LOVE IS CHEAP Happy Ugadi  — Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) April 13, 2021

On the work front, his last outing 'Power Star' was reportedly loosely based on south superstar turned politician Pawan Kalyan. RGV released it online on an app and claimed record-breaking views already.

The film stars a lookalike of actor-politician Pawan Kalyan. 'Power Star' is a parody take on Pawan Kalyan's political stint and reportedly his fans even attacked RGV's office for making such a film on their favourite celebrity. 

This year, he announced his latest project titled 'Dheyyam', a horror-drama featuring Swathi Deekshith and Rajasekhar.
