Director Anurag Kashyap says that he loves his former mentor Ram Gopal Varma more than Varma does.

At the trailer launch of his film "Veerappan", Varma had said that he loved Kashyap but Kashyap hated him. Asked about it at a special screening of Kannada film "Thithi", Kashyap said: "Oh! That he thinks. I love him as much as he loves me. I actually love him more."
