RGV shooes away 'wannabe'

Mahendra Singh Dhoni's ego got a jhatka on Wednesday night, when he bumped into Ram Gopal Varma at the airport in Bangalore.

He walked up to Ramu in the VIP lounge to greet him and the director mistook him for a pesky wannabe actor. Apparently, he breezily dismissed the captain, saying, "Please take my office number. Drop off your photos there."

While a poor, bewildered Dhoni is left scratching his head, trying to figure out that googly, Ramu seems to be living in a bubble. Maybe that's the only way to live with yourself after inflicting a horror like Agyaat on an unsuspecting public. But this bubble therapy sure has become a cause for embarrassment.

Though Ramu denies telling Dhoni to drop off photographs, he agrees that he treated him like any upcoming actor who lurks around, pouncing on any opportunity to attract his attention. He says, "Yes, it's true. I'm hopelessly ignorant about cricket. Only after he left, the people with me told me that he's Dhoni. I would like to apologise to him the next time I meet him."

The question of whether actors are still breathlessly waiting to work with Ramu needs to be pondered over carefully. But perhaps Ramu thought that Dhoni was yet another agyaat (unknown) entity
