"Jealous Soul": Twitter Fumes After Ronnie Screwvala’s Dig At ‘Pathaan’, Says "Dangal Will Remain Highest Grossing Hindi Movie"
Amid the success of ‘Pathaan’, Ronnie Screwvala said that “Dangal will remain the highest grossing Hindi movie” but he later deleted his tweet.
RSVP founder and famous producer Ronnie Screwvala caused quite a storm on Wednesday evening as he said that "Dangal is and will remain the highest grossing Hindi movie globally." His comments came as trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the collection of Shah Rukh Khan's comeback project 'Pathaan'. Replying to Adarsh's tweet, Ronnie Screwvala wrote: "Just to be very factual and clear. Dangal is and will remain the highest grossing Hindi movie globally — just in China it did Rs 1200 crore plus. Just so we keep the record straight.” However, it is important to mention that Ronnie Screwvala has now deleted his tweet.
The fans of Shah Rukh Khan have not taken kindly to Ronnie Screwvala's take and many of them took to Twitter to express their displeasure.
Here are some of the reactions:

On Wednesday, Shah Rukh Khan had thanked the fans for showing their support for 'Pathaan'.
He posted a sun-kissed selfie and the caption on Twitter read: "The Sun is alone….it Burns….and comes out of the darkness to Shine again. Thank u all for letting the Sun shine on #Pathaan."
The movie has already made more than Rs 400 crore at the domestic box office. It will become the second-highest grossing Hindi film today as it is all set to go past the Hindi-version collection of 'KGF: Chapter 2'.
'Pathaan' had released in the theatres on January 25 and ever since its release, the movie has gone on to make more than Rs 400 crore at the domestic box office.
'Pathaan' which also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham is the fastest Hindi to cross the 400-crore mark in India.
