“Shah Rukh Khan doing 500 Crore with Pathaan is not a problem, if an unknown man named Yash can do…” says Ram Gopal Varma on box office success
Pathaan, Shah Rukh Khan’s comeback film, is still roaring at the box office, making and breaking records. Undoubtedly, it has brought back the missing glory of Bollywood. While many heaped praise on the team, there are others who have criticized it. And now Ram Gopal Varma has also shared his thoughts on the latest release of SRK. Scroll down to know what the veteran director said about Siddharth Anand’s directing.
As mentioned earlier, the movie has smashed several records and the whole country is in the grip of its craze. Varma, who is popularly known for his first RGV, previously took to his social media account to share his thoughts on the film.
Recently, in an interaction with Connect Dil Se, Ram Gopal Varma gave his opinion on the success of Pathaan. While talking about it, he said, “See if an unknown man named Yash can do Rs 500 crore business (with KGF Chapter 2), (then) Shah Rukh Khan doing 500 crore business is no problem.” He also talked about how he assumed Bollywood would take the time to explore the reasons behind the success of the southern films that are doing well in the Hindi belt i.e. the dubbed versions.
RGV also said that in this day and age, stardom is different than it used to be. In the context of the success of Pathan, Ram Gopal Varma further said, “Shah Rukh is a much bigger name than Yash. But if Yash can do those things too. Whether Kantara can be a big hit, or a Pushpa- where no one in Hindi (Allu) knows Arjun. So I doubt stardom will be the same as before.
Earlier, when he used his Twitter account to tweet about the success of Shah Rukh Khan’s latest release, he wrote, “Theatre collections will never be great again in times of OTT. SRK is a fading star. Bollywood can never make a COMMERCIAL BLOCKBUSTER like the directors of South Masala. It will take years to break KGF 2’s day 1 collections. EVERYTHING above MYTHS broken by PATHAN. Not only that Ram Gopal Varma also criticized the action scene in the film as he said, “That kind of synchronized fighting, two stars standing up at the same time and hitting one punch at a time, that style doesn’t impress me. according to a report in DNA.
