Betaab (1983) and Arjun (1986) director Rahul Rawail is in the news- for wrong reasons again.
Not too long ago, he crossed swords with Imran Khan when Imran said in a section of the interview: 'Is Rahul Rawail still around?' This was in response to a question that suggested that Rahul had tried to create trouble between Ranbir Kapoor and Imran in the past. Rawail took to Twitter to slam Imran and called him 'mentally challenged'.
A couple of hours ago, he had a bitter showdown with the Oscar jury in Hyderabad for choosing Marathi film Court as India's official entry in the Best Foreign Film category.
SpotboyE has it that Rawail, who was a part of the jury, even staged a walkout after the final announcement was made. Veteran actor-filmmaker Amol Palekar who was heading the jury for choosing the entry this year, had to bear a lot of flak from Rawail.
At the time of going online, Rawail was still in a heated discussion with a couple of jury members outside the building in Hyderabad where the selection was done.
