Ram Gopal Varma’s Rakta Charitra
Saturday, September 26th, 2009
Ram Gopal Varma and Shatrughan are coming together – for a film that is ’similar to the Mahabharat in tone and spirit’. Before you get confused, maverick director Ram Gopal Varma, who has been a big fan of Shatrughan Sinha, has roped in the veteran actor for his latest film.
‘Ram Gopal Varma told me that (that the director was a fan of his) when he came to offer me ‘Rakta Charitra’,' said Shatrughan Sinha from Jaipur where he was attending a wedding.
‘He said he has enjoyed my films from his college days when he saw ‘Kala Patthar’. It’s providential that Ram and Shatrughan are coming together. But ‘Rakta Charitra’ – I love the title – is more like the Mahabharat in spirit than the Ramayan.’
And now the ‘Kala Patthar’ actor will be directed by Ram Gopal Varma in his Hindi-Telugu bio-pic ‘Rakta Charitra’ based on the life of the alleged outlaw Paritala Ravi. Shooting starts in Hyderabad this month.
Ram Gopal Varma confirms that Shatrughan Singh plays the Telugu Desam party-chief N.T. Rama Rao who was also the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh.
