Oscar-Winning Sound Designer Resul Pookutty Calls 'RRR' "Gay Love Story," Gets Slammed By 'Baahubali' Producer

SS Rajamouli's RRR has opened the door for a new argument called "gayism." After several foreign critics and a few Indian celebs, now it's Resul Pookutty, an Oscar-winning sound designer, who called it a "Gay Love Story." Pookutty tweeted it while replying to a writer friend, Munish Bhardwaj's tweet, which led him into a Twitter battle with the producer of Rajamouli's Baahubali, Mr. Shobu Yarlagadda.

I don't think @RRRMovie is a gay love story as you say but even if it was, is "gay love story" a bad thing? How can you justify using this ? Extremely disappointed that someone of your accomplishments can stoop so low! https://t.co/c5FmDjVYu9

Baahubali's producer, Shobu Yarlagadda, slammed Resul for his remarks. He said, "I don't think @RRRMovie is a gay love story as you say but even if it was, is "gay love story" a bad thing? How can you justify using this ? Extremely disappointed that someone of your accomplishments can stoop so low!"
