A week after dismissing
S S Rajamouli's film Baahubali: The Conclusion in the most unflattering manner, self-styled film critic Kamaal R Khan has done a volte face on Twitter. Suddenly, KRK is all praises for Rajamouli's magnum opus and the filmmaker.
Baahubali: The Conclusion has smashed box office records and been reviewed well most critics - but when it released two weeks ago, KRK was less than impressed. "Rajamouli has fooled the public with the hype of Part 1," he thundered in a tweet, describing Baahubali 2 as 'not even 10%' of the first film that released in 2015. Promptly trolled, KRK has now had a change of heart. "I think Rajamouli is 100% honest and pure soul and never have jealousy for anyone and that's why his #Baahubali has got such a great success," reads his latest tweet. And just by the way, "if you haven't watched
Baahubali 2 yet, then you are uneducated."

Kamaal R Khan, who has starred in two films -
Deshdrohi and
Ek Villain - is known for his unfiltered tweets and if often rebuked by irate actors for his posts - Swara Bhaskar recently called him 'unasked filth' after he tweeted about her film
Anaarkali Of Aarah. KRK is no stranger to being savaged on Twitter - this, however, might be the first time he's actually backed down from his original posts.
