"The Irony of Oppenheimer: Ram Gopal Varma and Christopher Nolan's Controversial Biopic"
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma commented on the Bhagavad Gita controversy surrounding Christopher Nolan's film Oppenheimer, stating that it is ironic that an American nuclear scientist like Oppenheimer read the holy Hindu scripture, while very few Indians have. The scene in question, where Oppenheimer recites a verse from the Bhagavad Gita after a lovemaking scene, has sparked anger among Indian audiences, leading to demands for its removal and calls for accountability from the Central Board of Film Certification.
