Someone confirmed Phoonk a hit and Ram Gopal Varma has been flying high since then. And what makes him overjoyed 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,’ included Varma.

So I think, after Urmila and Nisha Kothari… RGV has found a new muse - the crow. So we will get to see the crow in RGV’s next venture again.
