'Sarkar 3' director Ram Gopal Varma took a dig at Tiger Shroff by calling him a 'bikini babe'. RGV also made a homophobic rant against the Bollywood actor in a tweet that he later deleted.

On Tiger Shroff's birthday on Thursday, Ram Gopal Varma took to Twitter to post a shirtless picture of the actor and mocked him in a series of tweets.

Ram Gopal Varma also made a tweet where he said, "only gays pose like this and not men." The director, however, later deleted the tweet. Here's a screenshot of the tweet:

After noticing the outrage on social media, Ram Gopal Varma defended himself by tweeting, "Hey @bindasbhidu all my tweets on @iTIGERSHROFF are purely as ur fan and not otherwise ..please tell this to @AyeshaShroff and him (sic)"
