In recent times, the Telugu TV news channels have turned out to be an ombudsman, trying to resolve disputes between two individuals, or groups. Be it the case of Mahaa TV that worked to solve the dispute between Kathi Mahesh and Pawan Kalyan fans, now TV9 comes forward in making Ram Gopal Varma apologize to woman activist Mani.

Ram Gopal Varma was seen in a live TV show in TV9 studio. The maverick director attended the Cyber Crime Police upon being served notices. While explaining the drama that had unfolded at the CCS premises, Ram Gopal Varma stood by his word. Leaks surfaced that, RGV claimed, he did not direct the film physically by via a Skype video, during the live TV show.

Speaking on this, RGV said, ‘I am not detaching myself from GST. I still stand by the claim that, I’m the one behind creating GST. And moreover, my remarks over woman activist Mani, about casting her in GST2 were uttered in a humorous manner. I convey my apologies if my remarks have offended her or embarrassed her’.

Soon the activist was pulled up over a phone call by TV9. The woman activist simply turned down the apologies offered by Ram Gopal Varma and called for strict and stringent actions against him.
