The RGV Tactic We Must Take Note Of
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,April 29 2017]
When the rest of us praise someone, we are doing only one thing. But Ram Gopal Varma being a multi-talented and multi-tasking legend, he also belittles one in the name of praising another. His provocative panegyrics on Rajamouli, Prabhas and 'Baahubali-2' come with a closeted slamming of other directors, other heroes and other mammoth films. That's the difference between the rest of us and RGV.
So far, the Twitter Bhallaladeva that is RGV has done the following (Sorry if we have missed out on any of his iconic tweet/s):
1. He has pitted Prabhas' film against Pawan Kalyan's remake 'Katamarayudu'.
2. He has pitted 'Baahubali-2' opening day's collections against those of Khan movies and ridiculed the latter.
3. He has pitted Rajamouli against other directors, including himself, glorifying the former as not only great but also sexy (how does that matter, though?)! The rest of the directors are portrayed as jealous, sore losers who are figuratively in ICU.
4. So on and so forth...
In all of this, praising Rajamouli and his magnum opus is only incidental. The main aim seems to be to take a veiled dig at others. That's RGV for you...
