Kamaal R Khan, popularly known as KRK, had been making nasty comments on Baahubali 2 (Bahubali 2) and its director SS Rajamouli. However, the self-proclaimed critic has now taken a full U-turn.

KRK had made a lot of negative remarks on Baahubali 2, and slammed the director by calling the film a "crap." He had made insulting comments on Prabhas and Rana Daggubati as well. However, the magnum opus proved all its critics, including KRK, wrong by becoming the highest grossing Indian movie of all-time.
At a time when Baahubali 2 has been making new box office records and Rajamouli being praised for his masterpiece, KRK has also now started praising the movie and its director. He is now making good remarks on Rajamouli and Baahubali 2 on Twitter.
While KRK had earlier said that Rajamouli deserves "award of chutiya director" for making Baahubali 2, he has now called him "God's child". "If u haven't watched #Baahubali2 then u are uneducated n #2Rsperson in society 2day n only GOD'S child like @ssrajamouli can have such luck," he tweeted.
Continuing the good words, KRK then said, "I think @ssrajamouli is 100% honest n pure soul n never have jealousy for anyone and that's why his #Baahubali has got such a great success."
He did not stop there as he next tweeted, "Director @ssrajamouli has created a monster (Bahubali) which will destroy many producers-directors in future coz they will try 2 match with it." While he was earlier ridiculed for criticising Baahubali 2, KRK received some more harsh comments from people for this sudden change in words.
If u haven't watched #Baahubali2 then u are uneducated n #2Rsperson in society 2day n only GOD's child like @ssrajamouli can have such luck.

A section of social media users even suggested that KRK might now have received some money to talk positively about the movie. During the release of Shivaay, Ajay Devgn had released an audio clip that had made it apparent that KRK had taken Rs 25 lakh from the makers of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil to badmouth Shivaay.
@kamaalrkhan @ssrajamouli It seems that you have now received payment to tweet for Baahubali

However, with the kind of pace Baahubali 2 is running at the box office, it is proved that KRK's negative campaign against the movie did not work, and it is less likely that the makers of the blockbuster would need to pay anything to KRK. So, has box office results and positive response from public made KRK take the U-turn? Leave your opinion in the comments section.
