After news that Shekhar Kapur will co-produce and direct an
authorised biopic of Bruce Lee, filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has said he will make
a movie too due to his 'obsessive fascination' with the martial arts
legend and actor.
Varma also said he will release it at the same time as Kapur's
movie titled 'Little Dragon'.
Varma tweeted on Monday: '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.'
The filmmaker says he has nothing against Kapur, whom he admires
immensely.
'I have nothing against Shekhar Kapur who I admire immensely
but it's just my obsessive fascination for Bruce Lee,' Varma added.
He also shared a link of his article titled 'Bruce Lee
is the one and only who I loved more than sex', posted on his Facebook
page.
Varma feels he can do justice to Lee's biopic.
'Inspite of closeness of family and brilliance of Shekhar
Kapur, I believe only I can do justice to his biopic,' he tweeted.
Varma claims he knows 'tremendously more' about Bruce
Lee than his daughter Shannon Lee, his wife Linda Lee and Kapur.
Meanwhile, 'Little Dragon' will be a contemporary
dramatisation of the 1950s Hong Kong social and political forces that shaped
Bruce Lee into the most famous martial arts star and a significant modern day
philosopher, reported variety.com on Monday.
