Varma has been the talk of the town lately, ever since MM Keeravani credit Ram Gopal Varma after his Oscar win, for giving him a break. Keeravani had said in an interview that ‘Ram Gopal Varma was his first Oscar’. The composer further added that RGV gave him a chance to work on his film ‘Kshana Kshanam’ at a time when he was ‘Siva’ Ram Gopal Varma. ‘Siva’ was like an Oscar role for him because it was his first movie and it became such a huge hit and he played an Oscar role in Keeravani’s career.
