THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Director and Film Academy Chairman Ranjith took ridiculed actor Bheeman Raghu and said he is a fool. Ranjith was speaking in an interview to a media about how Bheeman Raghu stood up and listened to the entire speech of the Chief Minister at the state film award function.

"It's just that he has muscles. He is a clown. Even after fifteen minutes of talking, the CM didn't even look towards him. That's why my respect towards him grows. If he says, 'Raghu sit down', he could've shone. But he never let that happen. A friend once said: 'Raghu I cannot subjugate you by force or intelligence. To this, Raghu said, 'I know you can't defeat me with strength, but I don't understand the intelligence part'. The friend said that you don't even understand that I am joking. That is the reason why he is said to be stupid," Ranjith said.
