Creative yet Controversial Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has now targeted the Celebrities who have started the trend of adopting villages. Varma said that it would be an insult to those villages if someone comes forward to adopt them.
Varma made a series of tweets through his Twitter handle to make his point.
‘I find this whole thing of celebs adopting villages very insulting to villages..No self respecting village will allow itself to be adopted
Imagine how insulting we will feel if a Hollywood star would want to adopt India reminding us that we are an under developed country
Do People who adopt think villages are orphans or beggars or handicapped or what? If villages have any self respect they should protest
Any village who is willing to be adopted is actually admitting that its depending on left over morsels thrown at it by the rich and famous
They say villages are the strength of the country and then they insult them by telling the whole world the villages live on their mercy
If Normal stars also are adopting a village should very powerful stars adopt many many many villages ?.’
Though RGV didn’t take any names, he targeted Celebrities like Mahesh Babu, Prakash Raj, Shruti Haasan etc who came forward to adopt villages.
Celebrities adopting villages is primarily about satisfying their alter ego in bragging to others that the village depends on their mercy

I wonder if any Celebrity will adopt the back lanes of Ameerpet in Hyderabad.I think there are more poor people there than in many villages

Villages atleast have so called green fields and supposedly pure air ..Dirty back lanes in cities don't have that too ..who will adopt them?

Celebs will prefer villages to adopt because villages sound nicely exotic and poetic and Dhoolpet sounds dirty

Rich people are individuals and poor people are only a number and rich people adopt poor people to see that they forever remain a number

Poor villagers if they have self respect should rebel against the charity giving rich people and work hard to become rich people themselves
