Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma said that ever since he set out to make a film on dreaded gangster Nayeem, he had been getting threats from Nayeem gang. But, he said he was not afraid and called himself 'Nayeemon ka Nayeem'.

“Am getting threatening calls from Nayeem's group ..but they need to understand that I am Nayeemon ka Nayeem,” RGV tweeted.

RGV is currently in Mumbai and spoke with Nayeem's former jailmate.

He further adds, “Shocked to know just now Nayeem had so many problems with his would-have-been mother-in-law n what all he did'nt do with his sister in law.”

He also met five police personnel and two Naxalites who worked with Nayeem for three years.

“For all my knowledge about criminal world am honestly shocked to just now know Nayeem is very closely connected to big man in Karachi,” he wrote.
