Phantom is a multiple face of illusion, with non-truthful and malicious intent, said the Sarkar 3 director as he put up a series of tweets mocking Vikas Bahl, and Phantom Films.

It was his birthday yesterday, and Ram Gopal Varma threw a different kind of ‘bash’. The controversial filmmaker took cheeky digs at Vikash Bahl, Anurag Kashyap and Phantom Films in a series of Tweets. Phantom has been courting controversy ever since the news of one of its key directors and head honchos, Vikas Bahl being fired from the company for allegedly molesting a female employee started doing the rounds. Varma used this as perfect opportunity to mock Phantom Fiilms, making the best use of puns.
In an indirect attack on Anurag Kashyap and Bahl, Varma was hilariously scathing in his attack on the Phanton founders.

Varma cleverly punned on Bahl’s 2014 film Queen but simultaneously beating his own trumpet. Company is the production firm of Varma.
A QUEEN is created by a various PHANTOMous number of people but a COMPANY is created by just one single KING pic.twitter.com/w9oLeqyrq7

This Phantom bashing and self indulgence didn't stop here as Varma took more cheeky digs.
A FACTORY is not like a PHANTOM to disappear..it was growing to be a COMPANY pic.twitter.com/hd7uN7OTZ1

A PHANTOM is meant to disappear by its very nature whereas a COMPANY will exist forever pic.twitter.com/BIs79TciTf

The truth of a Ghost like PHANTOM is it can never be a COMPANY becos it just flies and doesn't care a fuck about the ground https://t.co/2TgoIMP8lm

Interestingly, Kashyap had begun his career with Varma. The Ugly (2014) director had penned the script for Varma’ Satya (1998) .
Usually, on a birthday, you would expect one to be in cheerful mood but RGV ,being RGV, bemoned over getting a year older.
To all those who are wishing me to have a great birthday I am having a miserable one because I am now one year olderð«ð«ð«

He takes digs at others, but Varma is sporting enough to take a joke on himself too. Here he appreciated this cheeky dig by a hater.
