RGV goes on expletive-laden rant on Twitter after watching Dangal
He took the opportune moment to take collective digs at Salman and Shah Rukh Khan.
Mumbai: Ram Gopal Varma is known for his controversial statements on Twitter and several of his tweets previously have made headlines. The director made another such set of comments after he watched his 'Rangeela' actor Aamir Khan's 'Dangal'.
Varma took to Twitter to ensure that the world knew he has seen the film and has no respite from fawning over Aamir Khan's commendable performance.
But not one to stop at that, the 'Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag' director took the opportune moment to take collective digs at the other two from the Khan triumvirate, Salman and Shah Rukh Khan.
Implying that they do not have the guts and aptitude to pull off a character as dense and difficult as Mahavir Singh Phogat's, he also showered generous amounts of praise on Aamir, who incidentally had one of the biggest hits of his career with him, in 'Rangeela'.
The rant immediately went viral, as the director got the expected mileage on the social networking feed.
This isn't the first time he has taken a jibe at the Khan's . RGV had infamously critiqued Shah Rukh Khan for choosing to go off the mainstream mould and experimenting with his films, citing that as the reason why Kamal Haasan eventually lost the stardom race to Rajinikanth.
RGV had also went on to take on Mollywood superstar Mammootty, after watching his son Dulquer Salmaan's performance in Mani Ratnam's 'OK Kanmani'.
He called Dulquer a far better actor than Mammootty was during his heydays, much to the umbrage of the superstar's fans.
Incidentally, a remake of the film helmed by Shaad Ali, 'OK Jaanu,' starring Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor, is all set to release on January 13, 2017.
Knowing RGV and his ways, this wouldn't be the last time. It remains to be seen how Aamir would choose to react to this unsolicited and explicitly embarrassing appreciation, though.
