Wearing his blatant irreverence towards film stars on his sleeve, Kamaal Rashid Khan KRK ) boasts 1.32 lakh followers on Twitter, making his nuisance value count. The film fraternity, however, is not amused by his shenanigans. Demanding strict action against the actor-producer, they have approached the apex body, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE).

When

meets

at his Four Bungalows residence, he says he has

Twitter. For his own sake, you want him to laugh it all off, and say he has only been playing along. But that doesn’t happen. Instead, he explains, “My tweets are unique. I taught others how to make an impact. If

follows me, it’s for a reason. I don’t write what’s popular. They say

is mind-blowing, brilliant. I say

is rubbish. I am nobody’s servant. Nobody pays me to speak good. I tweet what I feel. I won’t ever say anything to pander to someone. I am a very busy man. When I spend my few precious minutes every day on Twitter, I better get to express my view.”

Such an ironclad rationale hasn’t stopped him from 'promoting films' on 'friendly' requests from actors or directors, who he claims, inadvertently come knocking on his door. “Almost everybody in the industry has contacted me to help their film earn some publicity through my tweets. I do it out of kindness. I send out kisses to heroines, call them sexy or hot. I get a lot of

for that,” he says.

The catch though is that the FWICE will initiate action against KRK, provided the film fraternity submits a written complaint against him. When contacted, FWICE General Secretary Dinesh Chaturvedi said, “We have been told by many from the film industry that they want a complete ban on KRK. This man has been behaving in an irresponsible manner. He should learn to respect people and observe some restraint. But we can act against him, or issue him a show cause notice, only on a written complaint.TOIKRKrevolutionisedAmitabhBachchanLooteraLooteraretweetsDespite ample instances, KRK doesn’t believe any of his tweets are offensive or obscene. Rattling off star names, including Kareena Kapoor , Asin, and his favourite Deepika Padukone , he claims they all have his cell number. “If they find my tweets disgusting, they can always call me. Who are you to decide my tweets are obscene? I know everybody who I comment on.”On being confronted with some of his tasteless tweets, KRK blames them on “fake KRK accounts”. A little goading later, he sheepishly reasons why he had tweeted that he wants to have sex with Huma Qureshi . “I had only rephrased a Gangs Of Wasseypur dialogue and Huma understood it,” he says. But Bipasha Basu had no patience to accommodate KRK’s crassness. KRK claims that the director of Basu’s film Jodi Breakers had asked him to “support” the film. “Since I had to tweet innovatively, I mentioned how nicely she shakes her breasts in one song,” he gesticulates animatedly with cupped palms, “If Bipasha thought so badly of her dance moves, she shouldn’t have danced at all. She called me dirt and what not. So I had to respond.” He did, with a very derogatory remark. “They say I do everything for publicity. But everybody in showbiz is here for publicity. What the world accuses me of, they accuse Rakhi Sawant Sherlyn Chopra and Poonam Pandey of the same,” he says.His misreading of his troll quotient for a savvy, opinion-maker on Twitter reflects of pigheadedness that would make Mr Bean proud. “My followers take me seriously. They swear by me. Only if Big B criticises me, I will feel hurt.”He says the industry hates him because he gives negative reviews. “Strangely, the same people say; KRK kaun hai yaar, uski kaun sunta hai? If people don’t listen to me, then why do you have a problem?” Liberally referring to himself in third person, he continues, “Accept that KRK is a power to reckon with today. Accept that KRK’s voice matters. The industry knows that what KRK says happens, and that’s why his Youtube reviews on films fetch 70,000 views.” But what about the industry ganging up against him now? “Let them do it. Meri aur thodi publicity ho jaayegi,” he laughs.
