Mumbai, Nov 12 : Bollywood director Ram Gopal Varma has said in an interview that his life's most valuable possession is his collection of porn.
In an interview to Bombay Times, RGV said: "My most valuable possession is my collection of porn," he says without twitching a facial muscle. One can't help but take the liberty of asking if there are any specific preferences in that department. "It's hard to classify porn, you see," he retorts.
"I live for today and don't think about yesterday unless it's about reliving a pleasurable memory. I don't think about tomorrow because I want it to surprise me, if it doesn't, I will try to surprise myself, I live like that," he says
"It is all about pleasing my senses - be it listening to music, making films or looking at a beautiful woman," he says. "I want to make a love story soon. It will be gritty and will break all conventions about how love stories are made traditionally," he says.
RGV has now been getting death threats for his recent film "Bejawada". The controversial suffix "Rowdilu," has been dropped from the title, but controversy surrounding the film just refuses to die.
"Speculations are rife because of the title. Unlike " Raktha Charitra", I've never said that I am basing this film on the lives of real people. It is director Vivek Krishna's story and I never said that it is based on anybody," clarifies RGV.
"When you are making a film on contentious subjects, naturally everybody will have an opinion. It's just that no one else has tried to do it. It is the public interest in the subject matter that creates controversies and not the film by itself," argues the director. "I find it (controversies) very entertaining, and I am sure the media thinks the same about it too," he says with a smile.
"Well, I've been called names all the time. The media calls me Ramu. After a point, you just lose sensitivity to it. The fact that I just do not care seems to accentuate the point," he explains.
