Ram Gopal Varma drunk-tweets SS Rajamouli: 'Increase your security as filmmakers planning to assassinate you'

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, who was once touted to be a gamechanger for Bollywood, has been in news of late for all the wrong reasons. And now, he has grabbed eyeballs once again after he warned 'RRR' maker SS Rajamouli about an assassination bid against him.

On Monday night, RGV took to his Twitter handle and decided to "spill some secrets" as he was "4 drinks down".

He also lauded Rajamouli and claimed that he has surpassed the likes of K Asif, Ramesh Sippy, Aditya Chopra, Karan Johar and Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

RGV retweeted a video of Hollywood filmmaker James Cameron asking Rajamouli to let him know if he ever plans to make a film in the US. Along with that, he wrote, "Hey @ssrajamouli, U basically SURPASSED every film maker 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 did not just stop there, and went on to state, "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," he added.

Rajamouli is yet to comment on RGV's claims.
