Ram Gopal Varma was born in Hyderabad, the capital city of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. As a young man, he was a dropout from Siddhartha Engineering College in Vijayawada before taking up a career initially as a video store owner before eventually becoming one of Indias leading film directors. He was not a regular at classes, but was known more as a film fanatic during his college days and would watch both American and Indian cinema regularly. He and his uncle would often miss class and instead head straight to the local cinema halls. There was no support from his family when he decided to join the film industry, but Varma made his decision regardless.
