The biggest controversy in RGV's life till date was his terror tour. It raised such a storm that the Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshumukh had to resign.

A day after Mumbai's terror attack, RGV accompanied Deshmukh to Taj Hotel, when the latter was inspecting the damage done to the heritage hotel.

There was a public outcry when television screens flashed RGV walking closely behind the CM and his actor son, Riteish. People demanded to know why the CM took a filmmaker to the site where so many had died.

RGV and Riteish gave many clarifications but none could save the CM's chair.
