Kamaal Rashid Khan or KRK is known for making a living by criticising celebrities on social media. However, it seems he chose the wrong target this time.
The internet bully took a dig at veteran Malayalam actor Mohanlal on his Twitter account on Tuesday, ridiculing his physique. However, the backlash proved heavy as thousands of cyberwarriors from Kerala have been bombarding his Twitter and Facebook pages with trolls, memes and even abuses ever since.
Mohanal had recently announced a Rs 1000 crore project, the biggest in Indian cinema history, set to be produced by UAE-based billionaire BR Shetty. The film titled 'The Mahabharata' will be the cinematic representation of MT Vasudevan Nair's popular and critically acclaimed novel 'Randamoozham', where the actor would play the lead role of Bheem.
While millions hailed the project on social media and wished Mohanlal well, KRK wasn't amused. And like always, he made it clear through a cheeky tweet, where he compared the veteran actor to cartoon character Chhota Bheem.
Sir @Mohanlal you look like Chota Bheem so then how will u play role of Bheem in Mahabharata? Why do you want to waste money of B R shetty?

The tweet outraged Mollywood film buffs and Mohanlal fans in particular. They retaliated strongly and in packs. Let's take a look at some of the reactions here.
