Renowned filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has once again stirred discussions with his latest commentary, this time on India’s highest cinematic honor, the Dadasaheb Phalke Award. Known for his bold and unpredictable opinions, Varma lauded Malayalam superstar Mohanlal’s acting in a tweet that has now become a hot topic on social media.
In his post, Varma expressed his admiration for Mohanlal, stating that while he is not deeply familiar with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award or the first Indian film, he considers Mohanlal’s performances “impeccable.” He added, “In my opinion, the Dadasaheb Phalke Award should be a ‘Mohanlal Award.’”
The remarks have received mixed reactions, with some critics calling them exaggerated, while others view the tweet as a genuine acknowledgment of Mohanlal’s extraordinary talent.
