Someone declared Phoonk a hit and Ram Gopal Varma has been flying high since then. And what makes him elated is that in comparison to Mallika Sherawat’s Maan Gaye Mughal-e-Azam, Phoonk had a better opening.

RGV wrote on his blog, ‘It is common knowledge that many a times star are signed by directors not because they fit the characters but because the distributors and trade pundits demand them. The tremendous opening of Phoonk all over the country proves that instead of crores charging Mallika, Paresh (Rawal) etc, you can pull audience with a 500 rupees-per-shift charging crow.’
‘I am taking this example because stars are what we put because stars are what we put on the posters to attract crowds into the theatres, ant the star we put on the posters of Phoonk is the crow,’ added Varma.

So folks, after Urmila and Nisha Kothari… looks like RGV has found a new muse - the crow. So we will get to see more of the crow in future movies of RGV.
