The Sumans, it seems, aren't done with Kangana Ranaut. Not yet, at least.

The actress, who was in a seemingly toxic relationship with Shekhar's son, Adhyayan Suman, recently had her film released, the Vishal Bhardwaj-directed, Rangoon.

Rangoon opened to a polarizing critical reception while commercially, it turned out to be a colossal disaster.

Grabbing this opportunity, Shekhar Suman took a rather uncouth dig at the film's leading lady in what was a thinly-veiled tweet.

After Twitter went after him, Shekhar tried to meekly defend his Tweet, which backfired once again.

The father-son duo tried to support one another.

But Twitter was taking none of it.

LOL.

The Sumans have been vocal about their issues with Ranaut ever since her spat with alleged ex-boyfriend Hrithik Roshan came out in the open.

While nobody asked for their views, Adhyayan gave a sensational interview to DNA where he claimed that not only did Kangana physically assault him during the course of their relationship, she also insisted that he have cocaine with her. He also accused her of practicing black magic.

Ranaut later laughed off Adhyayan's claims but going by Shekhar's tweet, it is evident that the Sumans still hold a grudge against her, waiting for an opportunity to see her fail.

The episode didn't end here. When a user sarcastically said, "Where do you and your superstar son keep your National Awards?" the Sumans cover was pretty much blown as it was evident that they were talking about Ranaut all along.

And then, Adhyayan jumped to his father's defence with the subtlety of a crazy goon from a ghetto.

Twitter

No class!

Oscars 2017 Best And Worst Dressed

WOW: Taraji P. Henson in Alberta Ferretti(01 of20)

VA-VOOM, TARAJI! In an old-Hollywood, off-the-shoulder midnight blue velvet gown by Alberta Ferretti, the "Hidden Figures" actress told Vogue that her Oscars dress spoke to the "strength and brilliance" of character she played, Katherine Johnson. With a high-slit and divine diamond choker, Henson kept her beauty look equally as glamourous with a golden eye, bronzed cheek and dramatic eyeliner. (credit:Frazer Harrison via Getty Images)

WHAT: Jessica Biel in Kaufman Franco(02 of20)

Is that an Oscar? Or is that Jessica Biel? It's Jessica Biel. The column, long-sleeve dress, marked heavily in gold, consumed the actress. (credit:Frazer Harrison via Getty Images)

WOW: Hailee Steinfeld(03 of20)

From her bold smoky eye to her glossy pink lip, everything about Steinfeld's look is perfection. Wearing a metallic hand-painted, pearl-grey silk organza gown from Ralph & Russo, the 20-year-old was a vision of youth floating down the red carpet. What we loved most about the gown? The 3D flower appliqué — just stunning. (credit:Jeff Kravitz via Getty Images)

WHAT: Dakota Johnson in Gucci(04 of20)

Is there such a thing as too much gold? In a high-necked, long-sleeved gown by Gucci, Dakota Johnson, the "50 Shades Darker" star, fell short in this look. The frontal details prove to be too much. The outfit would be better matched with her hair in a chignon, rather than leaving her hair down and straight. (credit:Jeff Kravitz via Getty Images)

WOW: Emma Stone in Givenchy(05 of20)

Now this is gold that works: a golden gown for a golden girl. Nominated for Best Actress for her performance in "La La Land," Stone couldn't have picked a better dress for the evening, shining in a flapper-inspired Givenchy number with tiered beaded tassels. As accessorized the look with Whispers of the Rain Forest earrings from Tiffany & Co. and a Audacious Lipstick in Mona by NARS. Pure elegance. (credit:Kevin Mazur via Getty Images)

WHAT: Blanca Blanco(06 of20)

Here's the issue of wearing a dress with a hip-slit: you risk a major wardrobe malfunction. And it happened to the American actress on the carpet. There's a lot going on in this dress without the hazards. Bold yellow, bold pattern, mega sleeves. And we just want to tell her, "Girl, you're stepping on your own skirt." (credit:Steve Granitz via Getty Images)

WOW: Janelle Monáe in Elie Saab Couture(07 of20)

Janelle Monáe, we are not worthy of your beauty. Flaunting in a Elie Saab Haute Couture gown and a regal headband covered in stone by Forevermark Diamonds, the "Hidden Fences" actress was simply a dream on the red carpet. Her sheer bodice featured sequined birds and her waist beautifully shown off by a velvet belt and princess skirt. (credit:Jeff Kravitz via Getty Images)

ON THE FENCE: Halle Berry in custom Atelier Versace(08 of20)

We applaud Halle Berry for rocking her natural hair and "letting it be wild and free," but this sparkling one-shoulder Versace gown feels a bit dated. What we can say we love about this dress is the feathery, metallic train — so modern and chic. (credit:Jeff Kravitz via Getty Images)

WOW: Octavia Spencer in custom Marchesa(09 of20)

Ruffle those feathers, Octavia! Looking ever-so-elegant in a silk Marchesa gown with a skirt adorned with feathers and glittering beads, the Academy Award-winning actress is a vision in this grey colour frock that goes perfectly with her dark eye makeup and nude lip. (credit:Jeff Kravitz via Getty Images)

WOW: Naomie Harris in Calvin Klein By Appointment(10 of20)

Simple with a pop of colour ... Naomie Harris proves that's all you need for a perfect red-carpet look. This Calvin Klein dress is stunning with its peek-a-boo detail and statement train. Oh, and we should add this is Raf Simons' first red carpet look for Calvin Klein. Bravo! (credit:Steve Granitz via Getty Images)

WOW: Ruth Negga in custom Valentino(11 of20)

Red hot, Ruth! Firing up the Oscars in a custom Valentino gown with a Victorian neckline and full-length sleeve, Ruth was pure elegance on the red carpet. But our favourite part of the look? Of course her sweet headband and burgundy smoky eye, but also her blue American Civil Liberties Union ribbon. (credit:Jeff Kravitz via Getty Images)

ON THE FENCE: Priyanka Chopra in Ralph & Russo(12 of20)

Priyanka is gorgeous. We all know that. That soft pink lip and silky smooth hair paired with $5 million-worth of 60 carat Lorraine Schwartz diamond earrings is just stunning. But its this structured Ralph & Russo dress that has us asking questions. Priyanka looks a bit stiff in it. We're not sure it was the right choice for her tonight. (credit:Steve Granitz via Getty Images)

WOW: Alicia Vikander in Louis Vuitton(13 of20)

One of our favourite beauty moments of the night: Alicia Vikander's messy bun. Seriously, can you hear girls all over the world rejoicing? We can. Stunning in a ruffled Louis Vuitton gown with its boxed neckline and playful sleeves, Vikander is glowing (her skin is perfect — what's her secret?!). (credit:Jeff Kravitz via Getty Images)

WHAT: Scarlett Johansson in Azzedine Alaia(14 of20)

Lets start with the positive: Scarlett's hair. Shaved on the sides and styled beautifully on the top, the controversial "Ghost in the Shell" star pulls off the look, along with her simple makeup. But it is the sheer pink Azzedine Alaia gown, with its floral print, that is not Oscar-worthy. Also, that belt ... it's like she just picked it out of her closet and threw in on. (credit:VALERIE MACON via Getty Images)

WOW: Brie Larson in custom Oscar de la Renta(15 of20)

Cool, effortless, simple — that's the definition of Larson's Oscar look. Wearing a black velvet Oscar de la Renta gown, with dramatic frontal tiers, Brie Larson was a stunner on the red carpet, one she matched her bold red lip to. And can we talk about that dramatic neckline? Flaunt it! (credit:Frazer Harrison via Getty Images)

WOW: Viola Davis in custom Armani Privé(16 of20)

Can we please talk about Viola's new cropped haircut with delicate highlights?! Also totally chic is her fiery red, silk custom Armani Privé featuring a halter neckline and draped, off-the-shoulder sleeves. With highlighted cheeks and a nude lip, the Best Supporting Actress nominee for "Fences" is perfection. (credit:Jeff Kravitz via Getty Images)

WHAT: Ginnifer Goodwin in Zuhair Murad(17 of20)

In a similar look to Ruth Negga's, the "Once Upon A Time" star wears a floor-length Zuhair Murad dress equipped with a lace turtle-neck and sheer bodice paneling. Even though red is proving to be one of the hottest colours of the season, we think another colour would have worked better on the actress (like an emerald green). (credit:Jeff Kravitz via Getty Images)

WHAT: Nicole Kidman in custom Armani Privé(18 of20)

Don't get us wrong — Nicole looks beautiful. That red lip suits her beautifully and her skin is glowing, but this nude Armani Privé with it's detailed beading is a bit overwhelming. We wish she could have worn her sequined Alexander McQueen dress from the Golden Globes again. (credit:Kevin Mazur via Getty Images)

WOW: Emma Roberts in vintage Armani Privé(19 of20)

A gown that is totally chic and helps the planet? Yes please! Emma Roberts flaunts in this vintage Armani Privé gown is apart of Suzy Amis Cameron’s “Red Carpet Green Dress Challenge” that celebrates sustainability in fashion. And can we talk about that blorange hair? It's the hottest colour of the season, and it looks perfect on Emma. (credit:VALERIE MACON via Getty Images)

WOW: Kirsten Dunst in custom Christian Dior Haute Couture(20 of20)

One word to describe Kirsten's look? Classic. (credit:Kevin Mazur via Getty Images)
