RGV: I don't regret any tweets made, except when I picked Tiger Shroff for no reason

Mumbai: After Sonu Nigam deactivated his Twitter account, it’s filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma who has quit the micro-blogging site.

The ‘Sarkar 3’ maker was very active on Twitter and landed into many controversies for his tweets.

Talking to a leading daily about quitting the site, he said, “Trollers and controversies never bothered me and they are not the reason why I decided to quit Twitter. I had better reasons to quit.”

He further added, “For starters, I was living only in the Twitter world. I just wanted to change my world and that can only happen if I completely isolate myself.”

When asked if he had any regrets about the several controversial statements he made, an unapologetic RGV said, “None at all, except when I picked Tiger Shroff for no reason. I regret that. But what’s done is done. I now look forward to making my web series Guns & Thighs. The digital world is a direct connection between filmmaker and viewers. Unlike a tweet which can be misconstrued or carelessly put, even a short film, due to an elaborate creative process involved will put it out more effectively than a hastily written tweet.”
