Ram Gopal Varma praises SS Rajamouli, says he has surpassed every filmmaker in the history of India

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has praised ‘RRR’ director SS Rajamouli on social media after latter’s conversation with renowned filmmaker James Cameron went viral online. Varma tweeted that Rajamouli has achieved something that no other Indian filmmaker has done so far.

In a series of tweets, RGV wrote, ‘Hey @ssrajamouli U basically SURPASSED every filmmaker from #KaAsif who made #MughaleAzam till #RameshSippy who made #Sholay and also the likes of Aditya Chopras, Karan Johars and the bhansalis of India and I want to suck ur little toe for that.’

He further wrote, ‘From Dada Sahab Phalke onwards till now , no one in the history of Indian cinema including @ssrajamouli could have imagined that an Indian director someday will go through this moment.’

In the last tweet, the filmmaker confessed to have been drinking alcohol as he advised Rajamouli to increase his security. He tweeted, ‘And sir @ssrajamouli, please increase ur security because there is a bunch of film makers in india who out of pure jealousy formed an assassination squad to kill you , of which I am also a part ..Am just spilling out the secret because I am 4 drinks down.’

For the uninitiated, Rajamouli met ‘Avatar’ director James Cameron on the sidelines of Critics Choice Awards and talked about his film ‘RRR’. The highlight of the conversation was when the Oscar-winning filmmaker told Rajamouli that if he ever wanted to work in Hollywood, he should contact him.

‘RRR’s song Naatu Naatu recently won a Golden Globe award in the Best Original Song category. The film has also bagged two Critics Choice Awards in the category of Best Foreign Film and Best Song.
