Explaining his hasty retreat from the binge of brashness that characterised his stint on Twitter Ramu says, “Trollers and controversies never bothered me and they are not the reason why I decided to quit twitter. I had better reasons to quit.”

When  persuaded to spill the beans Ramu took and deep breath and said, “For starters I was living only in the twitter world .I just wanted to change my world and that can only happen if I completely isolate myself.”

He also claims to have found a  more creatively satisfying social network . “I will be more active on the social media than I was on twitter but in a very serious way, whether it's films or webseries or short films.Instead of tweets I want to communicate through pictures and videos on Instagram.”

Does Ramu have any regrets about some of his most controversial tweets? “None at all, except when I picked Tiger Shroff for no reason. I regret that. But what’s done is done. I now look forward to making my web series Guns & Thighs.The digital world is a direct connection between film maker and viewers .Unlike a tweet which can be misconstrued or carelessly put, even a short film ,due to an elaborate creative  process involved  will put it out more effectively than a hastily written tweet.”
