Director Ram Gopal Varma, who has filed a caveat in the Mumbai High Court to prevent a stay on his upcoming film Not A Love Story, isn't happy with reports claiming the film is inspired by the Neeraj Grover murder case.

'Every single thing I say nd every film I do nd every shot I take is copied from somewhere," he tweeted. 'there is not a shred of originality in me. I consider myself at best as a transporter of others creativity nd at worst a destroyer due to misinterpretation nd misrepresentation. Its not who said what but its whats being said that counts..what counts even more is what's being understood.'
