Director-Producer Ram Gopal Varma is getting much attention for controversies and a look at his tweets in the recent years will make one feel that he wants to stay amid controversies to hog the limelight. But he is also busy doing what he is making films in Hindi and Telugu languages.

Today he has announced that he has registered a title 'Shashikala' for his next Tamil film. In a series of tweets that follow the announcement, RGV says he respects Sasikala the close aide of recently departed Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J.Jayalalitha which may again stir up a controversy.

Sasikala who has been a close aide of Jayalalitha for more than 30 years is touted to become the next General Secretary of the AIADMK party.

Just registered my new film title "Shashikala" it's the story of a very dearest closest friend of a politician and completely fictional

"Shashikala" is going to be a very very sincere from the heart Tamilan love story and absolutely nothing to with fictional non politics

Fictional non politics of Shashikala have a fundamental contradiction with highly truthful but assumed non truths of Jayalalitha

I immensely respect Jayalalitha but I honestly respect Shasikalaji a little bit much much much more

Jayalalitha seen through the eyes of Shasikala is much more poetic and honest thought than seeing Jayalalitha only through Jayalalitha
