Trust Bollywood director Ram Gopal Varma to spin a controversy out of nothing every time he takes to Twitter. The Bollywood filmmaker posted a series of comments of South superstar Rajinikanth which stated, “This man, by being the biggest star ever, completely destroys the notion of looks being important for stardom. He is a bad looker, doesn’t have six-pack abs, is short, with a disproportionate body, and knows just two and a half dance moves. Nowhere in the world a man who looks like this can be a superstar. I wonder what he did to God that God did this to him.” With these posts, Ram Gopal Varma invited the wrath of Rajinikanth fans who trolled the Bollywood filmmaker on Twitter.
However, clarifying his stand at the trailer launch of his latest Bollywood venture ‘Veerappan’, RGV said,
“Some of the Rajini fans are so dumb, they didn’t even understand that I was complementing him. If a very handsome man becomes a very big star, what is the big deal? It happens all the time. What Rajinikanth looks like and still is a big star, it is a compliment. It means that God favours him much more than anyone else. But the dumb guys didn’t understand that it is a compliment.”
Considering the controversy, Ram Gopal Varma was asked if he would be interested in making a film with Rajinikanth and he jokingly said, “I think Rajini fans will kill me if I make a film with him. Unless those dumb guys are out, I am not going to go there.”
This celeb of the cinema world is currently busy promoting his next Bollywood biggie, a biopic on the life of sandalwood smuggler Veerappan. RGV promises to showcase a different side of Veerappan, “Anybody becomes anything because of the circumstances and situations. It is important to know why Veerappan became Veerappan, which is very clearly shown in the movie.” Sandeep Bhardwaj makes his Bollywood debut with this film.
Justifying the presence of a newcomer in the lead role for Bollywood’s ‘Veerappan’, Ram Gopal Varma says, “Any known person playing the character will look fake. When we watch this performance, of a completely unknown person, you will believe that he is Veerappan.” The Bollywood film is set to release on May 27.
