Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has become a grandfather – his daughter Revathi welcomed a baby girl on Sunday, according to a report in The Times Of India. The happy news was shared online by filmmaker SS Rajamouli, who congratulated him in a funny way and asked what he would like to be called by his granddaughter.
Rajamouli also joked that he hoped that Varma, who often makes his headlines for his statements, will be ‘reined in’ by his granddaughter. “Congratulations Ramu thaatayya garu...Wishing your granddaughter will be the person who will finally rein you in... btw what do you prefer Ramu tata, Ramu Nanna or Grandpa Ramu... @RGVzoomin,” he wrote on Twitter.
Varma is a self-confessed fan of Rajamouli and gushed over him on Twitter for directing a “dinosaur” film like Baahubali 2. Just the trailer was enough to bowl Varma over, and he tweeted that Rajamouli’s epic film will make all filmmakers feel like “amateur TV serial directors”.
