''Only dumb people will release their movies to compete with I''

Director Ram Gopal Varma is a man known for his strong opinions, mostly criticisms. However, he took to Twitter recently, on how he was spellbound by Shankar's latest new offering - the trailer of I. " 'I' in terms of its sheer originality, audacity, imaginative-ity and in every other -vity is going to be a ground breaker."

 

RGV tweeted, "Just saw 'I' trailer 2, and am sure Sankrantri is going to be Shankar-Raatri... Only dumb people will release their films to compete with it. I think 'I' will be the film for Indian film makers to feel a kick on their .. that they are not pushing the boundaries like Shankar."

 

He also averred that if at all Indian films will ever be taken seriously by Hollywood, it would be because of Shankar's 'I'.
