Director Ram Gopal Varma is in the news again. And in keeping recent controversies he's been involved in, it's not over his films but his tweets. This time it was thanks to his tweets on Lord Ganesha, in which he chose to expound his views, even as Ganesh Chaturthi was being celebrated across the country.
On the eve of Ganesh Chaturthi, Varma posted a spate of tweets that started with the director 'innocently' poking fun and saying:
All tweets I put on Ganesha were in my usual manner but unintended by me to hurt anyone's sentiments...but if they did I sincerely apologize

Did Lord Ganesha have a paunch in his childhood too or did it develop in the recovery time of the elephant head operation?
— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) August 29, 2014
In a series of tweets, Varma continued by questioning people's devotion towards Lord Ganesh. He questioned the basis of the holy status of Lord Ganesha, arguing that the only thing Ganesha did that his brother Kumara did not was getting the head severed. He wanted the devotees of Lord Ganesha to give a list of obstacles the Lord has removed for the followers. He asked, how could someone cut off a child's head just because he was protecting his mother's modesty.
The same director has created one of the most memorable scenes of the Ganpati immersion, in what would arguably his best film, Satya.
