Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma shared an emotional and deeply personal note on late pop icon Michael Jackson after watching the upcoming biographical film Michael . In a lengthy post titled “I HATE MICHAEL”, Varma reflected on the shock of Jackson’s death and the profound impact the King of Pop had on his life and creative journey.
Recalling June 25, 2009 — the day Michael Jackson died — Varma described waking up to television screens flashing the headline “Michael Jackson is Dead,” calling it one of the most disturbing moments of his life. He said he initially believed it was a nightmare before realising the news was true.
