Imran's fiancee rips Ranbir's film apart!

... but filmmaker Rahul Rawail takes strong objection, publicly
Avantika Malik (Imran Khan's fiancee) and her mother Vandana gave filmmaker Rahul Rawail more than his ticket's price when he went to see Rajneeti at a Juhu theatre on Friday night. And it was not paisa vasool at all!
According to Rahul's post on a social networking site subsequent to that, the mother and daughter (he didn't name them) were seated right behind him and his wife Rita for the 8 pm show, and he had a "lousy" experience watching the film because of them. Avantika and Vandana reportedly made unsavoury remarks and cat-calls during the screening until Rita finally ticked them off.
Naturally, Rahul's post attracted a huge and curious response. And the filmmaker was inundated with messages to reveal the identity of the women who had ruined the film for him. By Saturday afternoon, Bollywood was abuzz with the incident, because Farah Khan was also present at that show. And there were reports that some others viewers had confirmed a verbal discord between the Rawails and Maliks.
BT's call to Rahul met with a blunt and angry response, "Yes, we were disturbed by Avantika and her mother. Every person buying a ticket has a right to an opinion. You can like or dislike the film. But wait till you leave the theatre to praise or rip it. Filmmakers go to a theatre to guage the audience's reaction. Would they have liked it if I had made a ruckus while watching Kidnap?"
Incidentally, Rahul (who catches new releases every Friday) is a close friend of Rishi Kapoor's and has known Ranbir since he was a boy. Naturally, the filmmaker is protective of his buddy's son. And, there are no prizes for guessing why the Malik women didn't respond favourably to Rajneeti.
