Ram Gopal Varma has finally opened up about netizens calling Dhurandhar a copy of Satya. The veteran filmmaker revealed that when he spoke to Aditya Dhar, the Dhurandhar director told him that his film was a mix of Satya and Company. Read on to know more...

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma praised Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar a lot. He did many tweets supporting the film after its release. A few weeks ago, a video went viral on social media, which showed that Dhurandhar was actually copied by RGV's Satya, and now, the veteran filmmaker has reacted to it.

While talking to DNA, RGV said, "See, whether Aditya Dhar did it consciously or not, eventually, all filmmakers will go back to something they've seen, or they got inspired by, and they're bound to be influenced." 

He further said that his film Shiva was inspired by Bruce Lee's Return of the Dragon and Sunny Deol's Arjun, and even Satya had a bit of The Godfather and The Goodfellas in it. "So likewise, when I spoke to Aditya, he told me, 'I was mainly influenced by Satya and Company, and then I mixed them, and put some patriotism'. That was his first idea," RGV added.

With Varma's statement, it is clear that Dhar was inspired by Satya, and the similar scenes and storyline are not a coincidence.
