Filmmaker Ram Gopal Verma has recently used the micro-blogging site Twitter to pass on some comments over superstar Rajinikanth's looks, which he claims was his way of praising the actor.
The 54-year-old director posted a no make-up picture of the 65-year-old actor and wrote, "This man by being the biggest star ever completely destroys the notion of looks being important for stardom."
He then wrote, "He is a bad looker, doesn't have 6 packs, short with a disproportionate body n knows just 2 nd half dance movements."
