The incident, which has brought to the forefront the darker aspects of celebrity worship, has also drawn a response from filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma. On Thursday morning, the director took to his X handle to express his thoughts on the matter, highlighting the bizarre nature of the 'star worship syndrome'. In connection with this incident, Darshan, Pavithra, and 11 others reportedly tracked down Renukaswamy, tortured him, and eventually dumped his body in a storm-water drain. Ram Gopal Varma's post sheds light on the broader issue of fan worship, which has become a pervasive problem in the southern part of the country. This is not the first time Varma has spoken out against fan worship.
