Time and again, Ram Gopal Verma had said that making a movie like Sardaar Gabbar Singh is huge mistake. Especially, because a lot was at stake for Pawan Kalyan since he wrote the screenplay, worked on most of the creative aspects and spent close to 13 hours on the project. Not only that he did certain things that he had never done before, for instance open up for interviews! However after SGS’s lacklusture reviews and the fact that is is destined to sink in Hindi without a trace, has vindicated RGV’s stand. He has lamented saying that while Baahubali made a big impact in Hindi-speaking circle, RGV soiled that reputation with SGS.
