When Prashant Neel and Yash's action entertainer KGF2 bulldozed the box office, everyone was lift in a daze. Bollywood celebrities showered praises on KGF2 and said it is the trendsetter in the Indian film industry. But now, maverick director Ram Gopal Vama made startling revelations and this exposed the hypocrisy of the industry and how they are simmering with rage and jealousy over the south Industry.
It is known that when Rajamouli's Baahubali and RRR turned out to be blockbusters, Pushpa became a super hit and KGF franchises created a sensation, many in Bollywood went into a silent mode and some even came up with insulting comments that they have never seen the south films leave alone Baahubali,RRR, Pushpa and KGF. One cannot forget the bitter war between Kichcha Sudeep and Ajay Devgn and many other Bollywood stars also termed the South films storm as just a one-off instance. This all showed how much insecure Bollywood stars are growing with the south industry and south stars.
Now Ram Gopal Varma exposed completely revealing “nobody in Bollywood liked it (KGF 2), “A very big director of Bollywood told me, ‘Ramu, I tried to watch it 5 times but I couldn’t go beyond half an hour. He then got back to working on the script for his next film. While arguing over a scene, his scriptwriter reasoned, ‘But this kind of scene worked in KGF: Chapter 2, right?’! There’s a line in Hollywood, ‘You can argue with content, but you can’t argue with success! Hence, whether or not you liked it, you can’t ignore its success.”
Ram Gopal Varma reasoned “It’s not like I didn’t like the film. I can’t get the right word. I would say, I was flummoxed. I was watching with my mouth open. Like, ‘F**k, what?’!”
