RGV angers NTR fans

Ram Gopal Varma, who caught an early screening of Puri Jagannadh's upcoming Telugu film Temper, praised Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao Jr. in his unique way.

'I was a super fan of NTR nd I never liked Tarak but after seeing Temper I think Tarak F...ed 5 decades of NTR. After seeing Temper I truly felt NTR himself should come back and learn lots of things from junior NTR. Junior NTR's Temper is about temperature raising of Senior NTR ...and that in a very very good way.

'After seeing Temper I believe that if Junior NTR was born before Senior NTR he would have become a far bigger star than senior NTR. I rarely go to theatre bt wanna watch Temper at bramahraambha 13th mrng at 5 am fr reliving my orgasmic experience of watching Adaviramudu,' he wrote in a series of tweets.

'In 30 40 50'years of Senior NTR's I dint find a single film to compare with junior NTR in Temper. If at all spirits exist Senior NTR shud come nd watch Junior NTR's show in Bramarahmba..if he doesn't it will mean he's Jst jealous of Tarak. After seeing Temper I honestly from my heart feel that Senior NTR is a very big super Zero compared to Junior NTR.

'I saw Senior NTR's Adaviramudu 17 times and I feel like seeing Junior NTR's Temper 27!times. Aftr Temper NTR's vamsham wil b known as pre junior NTR and post junior Ntr nd in future Senior NTR will be known only becos of Junior NTR,' he added.

His tweets didn't go well with N T Rama Rao fans and he later added: 'Fr al who hv prblm wth tweets on NTR..a father will b proud of his sons achievement nd a grand father wil be even more proud of his grandson.

'Only morons and idiots won't understand that my tweets on Junior NTR came from my love for Senior NTR. My tweets were on Tarak in "Temper" and not on a personal and personality comparison with his Grand father.'

Temper will release on February 13.
