Varma, a huge fan for the pop star since his college days, says it is hard to believe that Jackson should die like that as he always believed that my mind he was like a creation of God
"I hate Michael Jackson. I hate him for dying and making me realize that he is finally only a human being. I hate that he too has to breathe to live. I hate that he too has a heart which can stop like anybody else's.
"I hate that I lived to see a scroll on CNN 'Michael Jackson's body sent to Mortuary'. I truly, truly hate Michael Jackson for becoming a grim reality from a fantastic fantasy," Varma writes on his blog.
The director, who was first introduced to Jackson's music by a college friend, added, "I love you Michael wherever you are...and I will always love you."
The director, who has made a number of hit films like 'Satya', 'Rangeela' and 'Sarkar Raj', also recalled Jackson's Mumbai concert in 1996.
“I attended his concert in Mumbai along with Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan while I was making 'Daud'. On stage, Michael Jackson looked like some being who has come from some other world in outer space as a favour to entertain us for a little while.
"I never cared or thought about the scandals that surrounded him as what he has done to me and my senses far out weighed anything else he might have done and like I said, for me in my mind he was like a creation of God or whatever that thing which creates when in a very special mood as a very very special gift to mankind," wrote Varma, paying his tribute to the late pop icon.
