'Why wouldn't they buy one for me?': Vijay Varma on flak received by 'Gully Boy' makers

Vijay Varma, last seen in Ranjan Chandel's Bamfaad, in a recent media interview with an online portal, talked about Gully Boy sweeping various awards at multiple award functions and the controversy surrounding the same. He said that rumours of makers buying Gully Boy's awards are baseless. Vijay Varma funnily asked that if all Gully Boy's awards were bought for money, wouldn't the team buy him one too because he believes the team loves working him. Vijay Varma further said that one person's opinion must not be considered the final word. He exclaimed that Gully Boy connected with the audience due to its universal appeal. So, Gully Boy winning several awards doesn't seem odd. Interestingly, the whole debate surrounding the issue started after Kangana Ranaut's recent interview with Republic Media Network. Zoya Akthar, the director of the film too seemed upset with Kangana's claim of buying awards. She expressed her discomfort in a recent media interview with an online portal.
