A scene from Murder-3. Inset: Mahesh Bhatt

Here's what your favourite Bollywood celebrities are tweeting.

After Sunny Leone, former Bigg Boss contestant actor Kamaal R Khan has upset filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, and the two seem to have engaged in Twitter war.

In a review on his Twitter page, Khan called Bhatt's latest film Murder 3 a flop.

Bhatt was put off by the tweet and replied: 'Woh hi andaz hai zalim ka zamane wala, dost hota nahin har hath mila ne wala. We will wait for the world opinion & accept it!'

Realising that he had upset the veteran filmmaker, Kamaal quickly apologised: 'Bhai Jan I am very very sorry to say truth. Film can't be flop or hit from my review. Allah Kare main galat hoon. Maafi kijiye.'

Bhatt replied back: 'Bhai mere, TRUTH told with the intention to hurt is worse than a lie. Its not your opinion but your neeyat to hurt that hurt me.'

Khan responded: 'it's very unfortunate if U got hurt just because of my review. U r father figure for me so m really sorry. Deleting all tweets. Bhai @MaheshNBhatt I can't even dream 2 hurt you. I love U n respect you from bottom of my heart. M really sorry again. Deleted all tweets.'

It was obviously too late, as Bhatt lashed out: '40 years in showbusiness, ladies and gentlemen. That's a hell of a long time to wait for a rave review! But the truth is that all those reviewers who declared me dead with every film are 'dead' & gone and I am still here making films my way! '

He later added that Murder 3 -- starring Randeep Hooda, Aditi Rai Hydari and Sara Loren -- has recovered its investments. 'With the kind of opening it has received M3 is already a hit. We had recovered our investments even before the first show began!!' he signed off.
