Varma, who has directed Aamir in Rangeela, took to Twitter to rant about how other superstars in the country don’t look beyond wanting to look forever young in films.

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has lauded Aamir Khan’s Dangal saying unlike other superstars, his films don’t make India “look like a regressive country.”

Dangal is breaking records at the box office.

Varma, who has directed Aamir in Rangeela, took to Twitter to rant about how other superstars in the country don’t look beyond wanting to look forever young in films.

The director said he is impressed to see how Aamir does not think the audience to be dumb and respects their intelligence.

Taking a jibe at other Khans of the film industry, Varma wrote, “Aamir Khan’s films force the world to take India seriously and the other Khan’s films make India look like a regressive country,” he added.

“Which star of Bollywood since Alam Ara would have taken a decision of putting on weight to look like a father of grown up daughters ?”
