Taking to his X timeline to pen a lengthy post in response to the demand of dog lovers that the animals be relocated, director Ram Gopal Varma wrote, "Everyone keeps chanting "relocate the dogs, relocate the dogs" as if it's some magic wand. But relocation is nothing but a polite word for dumping the problem from one street to another." He went on to say, "Clear one area and within days the vacuum sucks in new dogs, sometimes even worse than before. And where exactly are you planning to send lakhs of stray dogs ? At last count, there are nearly seven crore dogs and counting." "Relocation is not a solution-it's an illusion. It's the excuse of the ignorants to avoid hard choices," the director wrote on a topic that has become a serious bone of contention between animal lovers and those worried about the safety of civilians.
