‘I Don’t Know A Film Star More Good Looking Than Him’: Ram Gopal Varma on Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi

Notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who is of 31 years of age, has been making headlines across the country for his connection to various high-profile murder and attempt to murder cases. Lawrence Bishnoi, who is currently lodged at Sabarmati Central Jail in Ahmedabad, has been linked to the recent murder of former Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Baba Siddique. The gang also has a feud with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan who is said to have shared a close friendship with Siddique.

Amid these developments, filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has sparked discussions on social media with his remarks about gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, calling him more attractive than any film star. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Varma shared a photo of Bishnoi wearing an orange T-shirt and black-orange hoodie, stating, “If a film is based on the biggest gangster, no filmmaker will cast a guy who looks like Dawood Ibrahim or Chota Rajan. But here, I don’t know a single film star who is more good looking than B (Lawrence Bishnoi).”

Varma also urged Salman Khan to respond to Bishnoi, suggesting that failing to do so would portray the actor as cowardly. He emphasised the importance of Khan demonstrating he is a bigger hero than Lawrence Bishnoi, saying, “It is Salman’s responsibility towards his fans to appear as a greater superhero than (Lawrence) Bishnoi.”

The animosity between Bishnoi and Khan dates back to the 1998 blackbuck hunting case, with the gangster openly threatening the actor multiple times. Recently, the Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for a shootout outside Khan’s residence in Bandra on March 22, 2023.

On the professional front, Salman Khan is currently hosting Bigg Boss 18 and filming Sikandar, directed by AR Murugadoss, set for release on Eid next year.
