When Big B left Rajinikanth fans fuming…

A casual tweet by Amitabh Bachchan had fans of Rajnikanth fuming a few days ago. He posted a tweet which said,“Someone sent me this on mobile — When Graham Bell discovered the telephone,he found two missed calls from Rajnikanth!! Brilliant.”

The humour,however,did not go down well with several fans of the southern superstar who saw it as an insult to their cine idol. Bachchan was quick to follow with a clarification. He responded on Twitter,saying “Not making fun of him,praising his status and his greatness,he is noble successful humble person,and revered like a God”.

Incidentally,the two actors have been firm friends ever since they worked together in Hum 20 years ago. The Bollywood superstar had even organised a special screening of Paa for Rajnikanth. They are also set to appear together on the big screen in R Balki’s next directorial venture.
