Ram Gopal Varma, who is known for speaking his mind, has announced that he will be making a film on martial arts legend and late actor Bruce Lee because he’s has an obsessive fascination with Lee. RGV’s declaration comes after filmmaker Shekhar Kapur was roped in to co-write and direct a film on Lee titled ‘Little Dragon.’
RGV made the declaration through a series of tweets wherein he wrote that while he has nothing against Kapur, it’s only him who can do justice to the film. He also declared that he will release the film at same time when Kapur’s film will be released. RGV also shared an article he wrote on facebook titled, ‘Sex and Bruce Lee,' wherein he wrote that Lee is the one and only who I loved more than sex and also explained his fascination for the late actor.
Just because of my devotional worship of Bruce Lee I am going to make his biopic and release it same time as Shekar kapur's authorised one
