Sushanth Singh Rajput's suicide shed light on the ongoing suppression of outsiders in Hindi film industry. This led to a lot of discussion on social media and people are lashing out on the Johars, Chopras, Kapoors and Khans who are bringing all their families into films and taking away the chances of the talented. On this issue, Ram Gopal Varma came up with a series of tweets which are quite interesting.
He wrote, Blaming @karanjohar for what happened is ridiculous and just shows lack of understanding of how film industry works ..Even assuming Karan had a problem with Sushant it's his choice of who he wants to work with, like its any film makers choice about who they want to work with. If Sushant after 12 yrs of fame and money took his life becos he was made to feel like an outsider then a 100 actors suicides per day will be justified who couldn't reach anywhere near Sushant. If u can't b happy with what u have u will never be happy with whatever u have. Period!".
He even supported Karan Johar by saying, "Also all insiders of Bollywood were sometimes outsiders starting from @SrBachchan onwards ..@karanjohar is up there not because he is an insider but because his films are seen by millions ..We all know as much failures coming from film families as much as from outside." He went on to take a dig at the audience saying that people watched Karan Johar's films more than Sushanth's film and they have to be blamed as well.
He added, "And if Sushant hung on ,then in about 15 or 20 years he would have become an insider when he's launching his own son and some outsider Prashant would have blamed him like how everyone now is blaming @Karanjohar." Well! Let us leave for people to decide why this maverick director decided to support Karan all of a sudden.
