Ramu's recent, apparently sarcastic, tweets about Karan Johar's Student Of The Year has again brought the Johar-Varma animosity out in the weapon.
Ramu's torrent of tweets include such gems of sardonicism as, `I rate Karan Johar far far higher (sic.) than Mehboob Khan, V Shantaram, Raj Kapoor, Guru Dutt and Bimal Roy` and `Kuchkuch ho gaya mujhe Student Of The Year trailer dekhte dekhte`.
`Kudos to Karan johar for making Varun dhawa make me forget sharuk khan.`
`A Karan johar film institute is anyday a far better option than Subhash ghai gibhash ghai nd pune gune film institutes.`
`I don't know about Karan's film but I wud want to be a student for life of Karan johars cinema.`
`I strongly feel student of the year will break the records of 3 idiots.`
At a magazine launch, when KJo was asked about Ramu's tweets, he stated, `I feel like the most important person on the earth... I realised he is still alive, you know I really got worried for a moment because I thought we have lost him, so, I don't want such a great filmmaker to ever, ever leave us. So, I am so happy, ` Karan added.
Apparently KJo who likes to give back Ramu as much he gets this time asked a mutual friend to tell the virulent Varma to back off.
And that friend is none other than Riteish Deshmukh.
Says our source, `Riteish has the distinctive advantage of being close friends with both Ramu and Karan. so he was deputed to mediate and put an end to the sarcastic tweets at a time when Karan is trying to wrap up the film on schedule. `
Riteish apparently rang up Ram Gopal Varma asking him to `back off`.
One doesn't know if Ramu took Riteish's advice seriously. Or whether he laughed it off.
Says our source, `It is unlikely that Ramu who loves tweeting for effect, would stop doing so just because he was asked not to do it. He is the kind of guy who would do exactly what he's urged not to. `
