When RGV did copy-paste work

  • IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,February 14 2017]

It's a case of Ram Gopal Varma copying someone. Totally. Openly. In the ever-vigilant world of Twitter where the folks out there can spot it in a matter of minutes.

After the court verdict in the Disproportionate Assets case that convicted Sasikala, the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, RGV tweeted saying, "In a stunning reversal now Sasikala is captive and MLA's are free. Wonder what Jayalalitha's spirit is feeling? For sure she can't be RIP."

The first part of the tweet, the most creative part of it, was actually a copy-past work. Ramesh Srivats, who is quite popular among the Twitterati for his rich sense of humour and play with words, was the one who created the sharp comment. "Feeling flattered that even RGV finds my tweet worth er... adapting," he said, taking a witty potshot at the filmmaker. Only hours before, RGV had retweeted another tweet of Ramesh Srivats.

Wonder why someone of RGV's stature did that. He now stands the risk of losing credibility as a Twitter 'legend'.
