RGV 'appreciates' KJo for AIB Knockout
Mumbai, Feb 4: After the controversial AIB Roast video was taken down from video sharing website YouTube, filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has sent out a message of appreciation to his fellow filmmaker Karan Johar for taking part in the show. "The AIB show is final proof that India has finally come of age and I truly appreciate Karan for taking the plunge or more correctly the leap," Varma, who shares a love-hate relationship with the "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" maker, posted on micro-blogging website Twitter. "Anyone who condemns Karan's AIB Show whether from government or various organisations are just the figureheads of repressive regressions. The sheer popularity of the AIB also shud b a call to the censor board to wake up smell the coffee nd look out the window at a new India. "Karan took the lid off a volcano of lies nd hypocrisies and history will remember him as the guy who invented a new india," the "Satya" director added. The video, which went viral on the video sharing platform since being posted Jan 28, was pulled out Tuesday night.
