- Hosla Ka Ghosla

actor Ranvir Shorey spoke about the lobby culture in Bollywood and called out the 'gang' that exists in the industry. In his tweet, he said that a 'few second generation younger producers who have inherited film empires' want to take full control over the industry.

Ranvir Shorey tweeted, "‘The Gang’ is essentiall­y a mutually beneficial alliance of a few powerful, corrupt, crafty old men, and a few second generation younger producers who have inherited film empires. Their objective is to have control over the top of the pyramid and have pli

This is the man who fancies himself as the holy-moly Dronachary­a of the gang, except when it comes to covering up the indiscreti­ons and crimes of his own offsprings. A product of a damaged mind and faux spirituali­ty."

"The modus operandi is that when you’re vulnerable, like the death or loss of a close one, you’re profession­ally & socially ostracised by spreading lies and rumours, through the media, as well as the grapevine, leaving you disoriente­d and hopeless with a sense of doom," he added.

Although the 'Bheja Fry' actor didn't take names, Twitterati were quick to point out that he was taking a jibe at Mahesh Bhatt and was talking about the public fallout with the Bhatt clan. For the unversed, the Bhatts and Ranvir Shorey had an ugly feud after his break up with actress Pooja Bhatt. The two were reportedly in a live-in relationsh­ip. Shorey was allegedly beaten up with an iron rod by her brother Rahul, after the couple had a scuffle. After the infamous break-up, Shorey was tagged as an alcoholic and was accused of being violent.
