Sure his films may be cheesy, but Ram Gopal Varma has something other Indian directors lack- honesty! His last two films “Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag” and “Darling” have been lambasted by critics, accused of blatantly ripping of “Sholay” and “What Lies Beneath“, but Ram Gopal Varma confesses rather defiantly that he copies - “from everywhere”!
“I copy from Hollywood films. Not only from Hollywood I also copy from Tollywood, Kollywood… in fact from everywhere. These days I am copying from news channels as well as I am zapped by their speed.” Gotta love his bluntness! We hope Ajay Devgan is taking notes!

Bollywood is known to be drawn to Hollywood films as Paris Hilton is to mirrors. We can’t think of a single Bollywood movie that doesn’t steal a little something from Hollywood films. And so you can imagine our disbelief when we hear Ajay Devjan say his directorial debut “U, Me Aur Hum” is a complete original.
Ajay is supposed to be a perfectionist and was reportedly flabbergasted by media reports suggesting his film is a rip off the Hollywood movie ‘The Notebook’.
The actor defends his work and states “The film is a complete original screenplay written by Robin Bhatt, Sutanu Gupta and Akarsh Khurana. It has nothing to do with The Notebook.” Yeah right, and we’re going to Mars right after this post!
