Ram Gopal Varma's 'Affection' Towards Raasi

This might sound quite a contrast but then there is a high element of truth in it. We are talking about the eccentric genius Ramgopal Varma and recently he shared his thoughts about the sweet looking starlet Raasi who has now moved towards the small screen and lesser known mediums. Recalling her, Ramu said in a recent interview that it was during the making of the film 'Rao Garillu' starring Akkineni Nageswar Rao that he had first spotted Raasi and during that time, she was just a child artiste. Ramu recollects that whenever he looked at her, he used to have a soft corner for her. So he used to feel quite affectionate towards Raasi and Ramu admits that he is not a man of too many sentiments and emotions and given his very practical nature, this sort of emotional angle was a major surprise. However, that's the sort of appeal that Raasi possessed during those days that even a cold hearted person like Ramgopal Varma felt a stir.
