RGV Faces AP Demand for Refund Over Vyuham Funding

RGV Claims No Funds to Repay AP Government Over Vyuham Funding

One of the most controversial financial misuses under the previous YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government was the alleged use of public funds to finance propaganda films. Among them was Vyuham, a movie directed by Ram Gopal Varma (RGV). Now, with the NDA government in power, investigations into AP Fibernet irregularities are uncovering more details about these misallocations, bringing RGV under scrutiny.

AP Fibernet’s Financial Misuse Exposed

Recently, AP Fibernet Chairman GV Reddy addressed the media regarding financial mismanagement in the department under the previous administration. He revealed that government funds were illegally diverted from AP Fibernet to pay RGV for producing Vyuham.

As part of the recovery process, the department has officially asked RGV to return the funds that illegally transferred to him. However, the filmmaker’s response was unexpected.

RGV’s Response: “I Have No Money to Repay”

In a shocking turn of events, RGV has reportedly stated that he does not have the funds to repay the amount. According to GV Reddy:

“We issued a notice to RGV demanding repayment, but he responded by saying he doesn’t have the money and cannot repay at this time.”

Did Vyuham Performance Justify the ₹2.15 Crore Payment?

A key aspect of this controversy the disproportionate payment made to RGV. Reports suggest that AP Fibernet paid ₹2.15 crore to the director through a pay-per-view streaming model. However, the film only managed to get 1,863 views, raising serious concerns about financial mismanagement.

The current government is actively investigating this transaction and aims to hold those responsible accountable.

The NDA-led Andhra Pradesh government is now taking decisive action to recover misused public funds and prevent future irregularities. The probe into AP Fibernet’s financial transactions expected to bring further revelations regarding fund misuse under the Jagan Mohan Reddy administration.

As the case unfolds, RGV’s refusal to repay the amount has sparked political and legal discussions. Will the government take legal action against the filmmaker? Will this case lead to more exposures of financial mismanagement? Only time will tell.
