RGV To Direct Rajamouli Villain

Ram Gopal Varma is going to team up with Eega fame Sudeep. Buzz is that the duo will be joining their forces for their forthcoming film. Billed to be a story on mafia backdrop, the story is reportedly based on Bengaluru based mafia don Muttappa Rai. Varma has tentatively titled the film as Appa. After doing romantic drama like 365 Days, Varma is back to crime. He is currently busy with Killing Veerappan which is in its final leg of production.

Mafia backdrop has been Varma's forte. Satya, Company, D which are considered as Indian gangster trilogy have gained cult status and set path for several other films to follow. Satya has spawned countless imitations in Bollywood and else where. Now that Ramu is returning to his favourite genre and roping in Sudeep as the protagonist, expectations on the film shot up.

Buzz has it that Appa, will be a bilingual and Ramu is planning to make this film in Telugu and Kannada simultaneously. Given that Sudeep is popular in Telugu and Kannada, Varma seems to have taken this decision. For starters, Sudeep shot to fame with Rajamouli's Eega. He is quite popular in Kannada and delivered blockbuster with Ranna (Kannada remake of Attarintiki Daredi). This interesting combo is raising curiosity. Let's wait and watch for an official announcement.
