Ram Gopal Varma says Michael Jackson backstabbed. Michael Jackson biopic Michael which starred Jaffer Jackson in the lead did extremely well at the box office.

In the midst of all this, Ram Gopal Varma, the maverick director came up with the shocking emotional post.

One particular line from the note accused the pop icon of “backstabbing” him. His post began with the words: “I HATE MICHAEL.”

“After watching MICHAEL film, my memory went back to that horrible day — June 25, 2009 — when I slept late with the television still murmuring like a ghost in the darkness of my room. As I groggily woke up in the morning and my eyes went to the screen, I saw those terrible white letters against black: ‘Michael Jackson is Dead.’ For several long seconds, I thought this must be a nightmare. Why the hell would I even dream something so horrible? But the banner on the TV stayed and the news ticker kept crawling.”

“I reached out to the remote and started switching channels, and all anchors were speaking with the same solemn gravity. That’s when I finally realised the impossible had happened.”

“Back in my engineering college days in Vijayawada, on January 2, 1984, a friend dragged me into a dingy video parlour, insisting I had to see something. The lights went off, and then Thriller hit me like a punch in the gut. It was not just a song or a dance. It was an invasion.”

He added: “My eyes, conditioned by a lifetime of mediocrity, were violently pried open. The production, the choreography, the seamless ecstasy blended into one single divine entity. It was spectacle on a level I had never imagined possible, and at the centre of that storm was him — MICHAEL JACKSON.”

He posted “He didn’t move like a human being. He glided, he exploded, he floated, he commanded the screen like a supernatural entity who had entered a human body for a few minutes of absolute dominance. I walked out of that parlour in a complete daze, my heart racing, my mind reeling. This cannot be a real person. He has to be God — or at least a fantasy sculpted by the gods to bless us mortals on Earth.”

“I hate Michael Jackson for dying. I hate him for proving that even he was human. I hate that he too needed oxygen and blood like the rest of us. I hate that his heart could stop beating too. I hate that I lived long enough to see those words on CNN: ‘Michael Jackson’s body sent to mortuary.’ He backstabbed me. He betrayed my fantasy. He left heaven and became mortal. I hate you, Michael, for turning my dream into a nightmare.”
