Ram Gopal Varma has taken it upon himself to be the new agony aunt (or uncle, in this case) for film stars. Just a few days ago, he tried decoding the ‘Rajinikanth phenomenon’ by pointing out the star’s flaws to his fans. This was obviously not taken in good spirit so RGV later clarified his stance, stating that he was only praising the actor. This time, he decided to advice Shah Rukh Khan on maintaining his stardom and how he should be himself, just like Salman.
Fun fact: His advice on ‘being yourself’ is ‘be like this other guy who’s being himself’. Classic RGV!
He went ahead and compared SRK to Kamal Haasan and Salman to Rajinikanth. It seems like RGV has questioned SRK’s decision of choosing a film like Fan, where he is seen playing a character and not just a star. SRK’s next with Aanand L. Rai will reportedly see him playing a dwarf character.

Megastar SRK becoming ordinary fan,dwarf etc is as big a same blunder as what Kamal Hasan did to lose his stardom to Rajnikant(Salman Khan)

SRK must learn from mistakes of kamal and not listen to near n dear ones who are stopping him from becoming a Mega Rajnikant.

I call SRK as Megastar becos he neither has muscles of Salman nor workmanship of Aamir but yet he is taller than both by being just himself

Rajnikant is Rajnikant bcos he always himself and Kamal always trying to be someone else..I hope SRK will remain like himself like Salman

Kamal Hasan could have been a btr Rajnikant if he din’t keep bcmng some1 else..so SRK should learn from Kamal’s mistakes and just be Salman
