Director Ram Gopal Varma has wondered about ‘Rajini phenomenon’ in a series of tweets on Sunday. Expressing his admiration f superstar Rajinikanth, he wondered how was it possible for somebody of Rajini’s looks could become a superstar.
The comments from RGV came after a picture tweeted by actor Amy Jackson. The pic had herself and Rajinikanth. It came with the comments, saying, “I don't think I've ever looked so happy on a photograph. Rajiniji, I feel super honoured to be acting alongside you.”
As always, Rajini was seen in his off-screen avatar that had no wig and no make-up. Expecting the backlash from the fans of ‘Thalaivar’, Varma tweeted saying that, “some fans of Rajinikanth, didn’t even realise that I was only complimenting the superstar.”
Below are his tweets from RGV
“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 6 packs ,short with a disproportionate body n knows just 2 nd half dance movements.”
“Nowhere in world a man who looks like this can be SuperStar .I wonder what he did to God that God did this to him.”
“Rajni sir is ultimate proof that no one can ever fucking know why the audience likes what in cinema?”
“The greatest psychiatrists in the world will collapse with the challenging task of explaining the Rajni Phenomenon.”
“Dumb fans of Rajni who dint realise my tweets r compliment shud realise Rajni himself makes fun of himself.”
