Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has revealed his love for veteran actress Sridevi
in his autobiography, ‘Guns and Thighs’. He describes Sridevi as the
"Goddess of beauty" and blames her husband
Boney Kapoor.
"It was a love letter. I was going overboard, but that was my feeling. Everyone can have a crush on anyone, be it on a real person or a celebrity, you enjoy that feeling of high. It is almost like a drug. To see Sridevi making tea in Boney Kapoor's kitchen was a huge letdown. I won't forgive him because he brought the angel down from heaven to the kitchen of his apartment," he said while confessing his love for the actress during a session at a literature festival in New Delhi.

RGV
also expressed his feelings for actress Urmila Matondkar. He said that he has
revealed in the book that capturing Urmila's beauty on camera was one of the
reasons behind making ‘Rangeela’, which made her an overnight star.
"I honestly feel it is important for director to get obsessed with the characters. I think it is similar to how I shot Amitabh Bachchan in Sarkar. He is obviously not a woman but I was feeling a high to capture his close-ups and highlight his minutest of expressions. That way, I don't see a fundamental difference between a Rangeela and a Sarkar," he said.
RGV has dedicated his autobiography to author Ayn Rand, best known for his book The Fountainhead.
The filmmaker said it is his dream to make a movie on the book. "My greatest dream is to make a film on The Fountainhead, which I have been restraining from doing because it is so much in the mind and I am yet to able to decode that. For example if you read about Howard Roark or think about him then it is very difficult to see him in person," he said.
"The moment you see him in person, you would think how he is moving, how he will smile, how he will have a sip of coffee. But that's my dream to make the film," he added.
