Ram Gopal Varma's comments that Mammootty should learn acting from his son has not gone down well with the son itself. Dulquer reacted to RVG's tweet saying that he wouldn't be one millionth the actor that his father is, whatever he accomplishes, even in ten lifetimes.

RVG in the meanwhile, as is customary to his demeanor, went on to pour oil in the fire by stating that Dulquer's tweet comes from a biased perspective and that he should be true to cinema. He also told Dulquer to not be arrogant as to think he knows how to judge acting, further prompting that if he thinks he knows better ask him to shut up. The backhanded compliment that he is an "unbiased fan" of Dulquer doesn't take away the sting from the comparison.
