Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma warns about the dangers of making mythological films in India due to potential controversy and offending religious sentiments. He suggests that filmmakers should avoid branding new stories as adaptations of mythological narratives to avoid criticism and religious conflicts. Varma believes that the current situation is different from past successes like Babubhai Mistry's "Sampurana Ramayana" and NT Rama Rao's films, as the scrutiny from social media and varied interpretations make it risky to tackle such topics.
