Some diehard Rajamouli fans tried to explain how it's not a gay film.

Brother if you don't understand the story, if you don't understand the emotions that the characters portrayed don't post a twitt about. Understand first study about it. Then post.

Just write 'RRR is a gay movie' in Google search engine.

Western viewers should have suffered from mental disease even they can't digest movie based on hardcore friendship of two male characters.
