Actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar has taken a dig at BJP spokesperson G V L Narasimha Rao over his remarks that most Indian film stars have "very low IQ and very low general knowledge".

"How dare you, sir?" an angry Farhan tweeted and tagged the BJP leader.

"And to all film people in his ranks... Here's what he thinks of you. Shame sir," the actor wrote.

Farhan's comment was in reaction to an interview Rao gave to Times Now TV over the ongoing controversy on Tamil film "Mersal" that has scenes critical of the GST and the Digital India initiatives of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Rao,
