Salman Khan took pot shots at film critics, and indirectly at Himesh Reshammiya, using his Twitter account on Friday, May 21. So will Vivek Oberoi be his next target?
Salman didn't name Himesh, but referred to his film Karzzzz (2008).
To put you in perspective, when Himesh started his showbiz career, Salman lent him a helping hand, like he has done to so many other struggling stars. However, Salman and Himesh drifted apart after Himesh established himself in the industry, or thought he had established himself in the industry.
Coming back to the Twitter exchange, Salman started off by responding to his fans' positive tweets on Kites.
"V few tweets say theek hai 1or 2 nt good 1000's say v gd n dugs is outstanding n body v gd,n lots of em say better than veer n wantd, happy," Salman tweeted.
'Dugs' in Salman's tweet is Kites star Hrithik Roshan; Salman and Hrithik are close friends.
He then implored his fans to rely on their own instincts, or take the opinion of their friends, to decide whether they wanted to see the film.
"Or ask your frnds who hv seen in n thn decide if its worth it or nt , decide 4 yrslf, at the mst wat u may nt like it na,big deal yaar."
And then came the punch line tweet.
"so thn y u follow these reviews, critics , stars , sub bakwass hai , common yaar karz got 5 stars ,sub bakwass hai go n c the movie year slf"
Karzzzz was supposed to establish singer Himesh as Bollywood's next big star, but bombed at the Box Office.
That is pure, unadulterated Salman for you.
