New Delhi: Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma and his Twitter handle have hit headlines for more than one reason. Keeping up with the tradition, RGV, once again, made use of his favourite social media platform to voice more than a few opinions, directed at Telegu veteran actor Chiranjeevi, his films numbered #150 and #151 and his son Ram Charan Teja's latest release Bruce Lee.

Ram Gopal Varma ki aag was expressed not only via one, two or just a handful of tweets but in an incessant trail of tweets, which continued over a span of three days starting October 16. It appears, he has only two points to put across, and we quote him: a) "As a Bruce Lee fan I really wonder why they named Ram Charan (Teja) as Bruce Lee in a Bruce Lee less film", and b) "My sincere request to Mega Star (Chiranjeevi) is to do a Mega original film better than Baahubali as Mega 151st and not copy a Tamil film."

He perhaps missed out Bruce Lee director Sreenu Vaitla's reason behind the name. In an interview to IANS he had mentioned: "Ram Charan Teja plays a stuntman and people around him call him Bruce Lee. It's a pet name and it has nothing to do with the genre of the film." (Also Read: Ram Charan Teja 'Barely' Had Time to Relax For Bruce Lee)

The 60-year old actor-politician also appears in a cameo in son Ram Charan's latest release, which hit screens October 16 and is his 150th movie. RGV's tweets are in reference to the buzz that after a sabbatical of eight years, the actor will reportedly make a comeback on the silver screen with the Telugu remake of Tamil blockbuster Kaththi, adding one more to his list.

Previously in May 2015, the Satya director have had a sarcastic war of words with filmmaker Anurag Kashyap.
