Now you may be wondering whom we are talking about. Purab is Riteish Deshmukh who plays a journalist in Ram Gopal Varma's biggest film to be released next year titled ‘Rann’. Now we all know that wherever RGV goes, controversy follows. That is exactly what happened yesterday in Mumbai and like Purab of ‘Rann’, there were many journalists who targeted both Ram Gopal Varma and Riteish Deshmukh on their shocking visit to The Taj Hotel with the Chief Minister of Mumbai Shri Vilasrao Deshmukh.
Some reporters thought that RGV's visit to the Taj was to make a film on the Taj and the Oberoi bombings. While others verbally assaulted the director as if he was in some museum or a mall. Within minutes, the news story became the news headlines on national television and the only question being asked was: What was RGV doing inside the Taj hotel with the Deshmukhs?
Reporters found out some of the facts leading to yesterday's breaking news. Our sources confirmed to us that RGV is leaving on the 5th of December to Sri Lanka for the shoot of his next film ‘Agyaat’. So before leaving, he wanted to wrap up some important meetings with the star cast of ‘Rann’. Since last one week Mohnish Behl, Rajpal Yadav, Riteish Deshmukh and Gul Panag have been visiting RGV's office in Oshiwara to discuss their look for the film and few other details. Not many know but Riteish has the most important role in the film according to RGV and discussions between the actor and director were increasing day by day. But due to the Mumbai bombings, this time around, Ramu thought of paying the junior Deshmukh a visit at his residence-Varsha, to talk about the film. Both were busy talking about ‘Rann’ for half an hour and then decided to part ways when suddenly Riteish told RGV to accompany him in his car along with his father Vilasrao Deshmukh's convoy which was heading towards the Taj hotel. Unaware of where the convoy was going, both the actor and the director started chatting a bit about the recent attacks and then their film till their car stopped just outside the Taj. With no clue as to what was happening, RGV got down along with his actor friend Riteish and followed Vilasrao inside the Taj. RGV was also heard on the television clarifying that his visit was a mere coincidence and bad timing.
Knowing the type of films Ramu makes, one can't think but come to a conclusion that his visit was primarily to make another dark and a grim reality flick. Now if that was the case, how come the director missed his visit to the Leopold cafe, Nariman House and the Trident Oberoi? Whether Ram Gopal Varma will make another realistic film with terrorism as it's backdrop is something which only the maverick director will be able to tell us in the near future but what we can say is that this incident of him entering the Taj with the Deshmukh's is creating one hell of a 'news story'.

YOU WANT PUBLIC OF INDIA TO BELIVE THIS??? OUTRAGEOUS COMEDY!!! I CAN'T BELEI VE INDIAN EXPRESS CAN STOOP DOWN TO THIS LEVEL. WELL Mr. SHEKAR GUPTA CAN DEFIENITELY DO SO. HA HAS DEMONSTARTED IT MANY TIMES WITH HIS ACIDIC ARTICLES AGAINST THE SERVICE HCIEFS.
poor chief minister mr.deshmukh. he was only following congress tradition of promoting his kin . it is a different matter that this time it wasnt politics but films. media is responsible for his resignation.i equally feel media is responsible for many deaths that occured as they were unintentially broadcasting live for the benefit of terrorist. i cannot say about our government but i hope media will act responsiblly.
Shame on you RGV, the CM and his son. They should retire from public life or the public should banish them by defeating in the election and boycot their films
This looks like an explanation put in by RGV using IE as a tool. Pity, IE has now reduced to such low level.There was absolutely no need for this article. We all saw the whole incident on TV, heard RGV's comments and are capable enough to draw our own conclusions.This surely to me looks like a paid article by RGV.Sigh IE!!!
MEDIA IS IN NOT IN GIVING NEWS AS IT HAPPENS BUT IN BUSINESS OF MANUFACTURING NEWS !!! IT'S HORRIBLE TO WATCH NOWADAYS ANY NEWS CHANNEL THEY R JUST MAKING FOOL OF VIEWER BY MAKING NEWS...!!!THEY THINK TEY R ABOVE ALL AND EVERYTHING...
In other words, RGV was sleepwalking. Good explanation.
They want to go with Vilashroa why ?Why not two alone went for visit when they have to discuss some thing ?You are funny reporter worst in the word truly.
"Enough is enough" this is to the terrorists and now the media... stop givin some mundane topic so much importance.. arent ther more important matters to discuss... ??? stop sensationlizin this issue of some director's visit to the terror site and start coverin some actual news.. while its understandable that the media for 3 days have hd some unfortunate but ironically meaty bytes. now tat its over they are mearely doin re-runs..but naturally they need something new..two same words to the media and RGV: ACT RESPONSIBLY.as it is there is enuf anger... stop fuellin it more... TO THE PEOPLE: hope this anger is channalized to sometihng productive and worthwhile..
Did he have a hidden camera on, escaping detection because he was with the CM, to send to Company Chief, detailing the utter ravaging of the glory of Mumbai, the Taj?!
HE MUST HAVE GONE THERE JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY..CAN ANYONE BELIEVE IT..
