Ram Gopal Varma Question And Answers #96
951. Why don’t you open a film school?
Ans: The concept of film schools in today’s time
is a big sham. In the olden days there was no access to film tools like camera,
etc. Today anybody with a digicamera and a laptop can make a film. And as per
the institute having film archives, every corner dvd store has more films than
them. Further more filmmaking is an expressionist art and I don’t believe that
it can be taught.
952. What school did you attend?
Ans: St.Marys High School, Secunderabad.
953. How much was your remuneration for Shiva?
Ans: The sum total of whatever I earned till
today and whatever I will ever earn.

of the dead friend slaps the Police Inspector. How did you conceive that great

boy killed slaps the Police Chief for not forewarning the tourists about the
shark.
956. I think during your early stages your movies
had sensible music.

answer but I could not think of something better.
958. You don’t comment from your heart, you just

others do is wrong.
