Director Ram Gopal Varma has apologised to producer Nagababu for his comments about his brother, Chiranjeevi. The director took to his Twitter account to issue the apology.

He said, “Nagababu has shown mercy by hitting me only with words. [I] apologise to him.”
At the time of Khaidi No 150’s release, Ram Gopal Varma criticised Chiranjeevi’s decision to dress the way he did in the film. He also pointed out that the film’s poster was the ‘height of self-absorption’. Needless to say, these comments did not sit well with Nagababu, the brother of Chiranjeevi, who promptly took him to task at a promotional event later.
