Varma, known for his controversial comments on the social media, had recently tweeted about Tiger's picture on the cover of a magazine, with this caption: "Truly real men like Bruce Lee and 'bindasbhidu' (Jackie Shroff's Twitter handle) never pose in a 'Urmliaish' way."
"Please learn machoism from bindasbhidu who even without martial arts poses more like a man and never like this," he continued.
When asked about his response, Tiger said Varma is a senior filmmaker and entitled to his opinion.
Tiger said he does not care if some people react negatively to his "artistic expression."
"I try to be my own individual self and be different. I try to express my individuality as much as I can. Some might appreciate my artistic expression, some may not. To each his own."
