Elon Musk is currently making headlines after his acquisition of Twitter. On several occasions, the popular business magnate has made waves for his quirky, and at times controversial, opinions, most of which he displays through his Twitter account. Back in 2018, Musk took Twitter by surprise, and storm, when he tweeted words of appreciation for Bajirao Mastani.

Starring Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, Bajirao Mastani had hit the silver screens in 2015. So it came as quite a surprise indeed when Musk decided to show his appreciation for the film one fine day in 2018, just days after the film completed three years of its release. The business magnate shared a gif from the film featuring Singh, from the song Malhari. Tweeting the gif, Musk wrote the film’s name surrounded by two yellow hearts. He also included the link to the music video of another track from the film, titled Deewani Mastani.
