‘Daniel Sekhar’ would have been better title than ‘Bheemla Nayak’, says RGV’s cryptic tweet

Hyderabad: The maverick filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma seems to think that ‘Daniel Sekhar’ would have been a better title than ‘Bheemla Nayak’, for Powerstar Pawan Kalyan’s upcoming movie, which also features Rana Daggubati in the lead.

As the much-awaited film is hitting the screens worldwide on Friday, Varma expressed his opinion on ‘Bheemla Nayak’ and how the trailer blew his mind away.

His tweet sounded cryptic when he said, “From watching #BheemlaNayakTrailer it looks like the makers for some reason have used and abused @PawanKalyan to promote @RanaDaggubati.I am hurted as a fan of P K(sic).”

From all metaphorical and epistemological perspectives and also dishonestly speaking honestly my take on #BheemlaNayakTrailer is that @PawanKalyan is the trailer and @RanaDaggubati is the film

He further wrote that since Rana Daggubati has earned more popularity in the north because of ‘Baahubali’, there’s a danger that Rana gets projected as the hero while Pawan Kalyan as villain.

“Going by @BheemlaNayakTrailer , in the north where Rana is much more popular than @PawanKalyan due to #Bahubali , there’s a danger of him coming across as the villain in the film and @RanaDaggubati as the hero ..Am shocked why the makers close to P K allowed this to happen?(sic),” wrote RGV.
