Even when it comes to discussing his own films, the director embraces his failures as much as his successes and dissects them with honesty and humility. The star says that he dedicates his book to Ayn Rand, Bruce Lee, Urmila Matondkar, Amitabh Bachchan, pornstar Tori Black, and a few gangsters who were a part of his life. RGV reportedly often created content that was inspired by real-life events.
