Following this there were Twitterati who lashed out at the filmmaker for his sexist remark.

Ram Gopal Varma’s tweet then reached Sona Mohapatra, who wrote, “Dear Mr RGV,time for u to get into the line of people who desperately need a real education.1 that lets u understand why this tweet of yours reeks of sexism & misplaced morality.Women have a right to buy & consume alcohol just like men. No one has a right to be drunk & violent.”
Replying to Sona Mohapatra’s tweet, Ram Gopal Varma wrote, “Hey I think u misunderstood the intention behind that tweet ..I am the last person to be judgemental ..I meant it for the leaders who falsely presume that only men drink and abuse women in that state.”
This triggered the singer more who pointed out how she has never heard of women drinking and abusing men. She wrote, “So are u saying that this picture where a few women are standing in line to buy liquor proves otherwise? How so? Statistics show domestic violence, alcohol abuse to be linked & women hold the short end of the stick across the world. Rarely does the woman drink & thrash her partner.”
