Rakta Charitra is releasing on
May 25, 2010
Rakta Charitra… now or never
“He will bounce back”… that’s what a few in the industry had very confidently mentioned to me in person during my visit to Bombay earlier this year.
I didn’t believe it. I thought he was done and out. I would only carry memories of some of those impactful hitting me right on the head stories and even trailers he’d made ever since I started watching his movies in 1990. I still can’t get over the long Shiva trailer (the first one) where he’d only followed the back of Zutshi as he was running from people chasing him to kill him. Just the back of the actor through out the length of the trailer, nothing else. I was hooked. Who was this guy?
Well maybe its time to reaffirm the faith… and if the stills of Rakta Charitra are anything to go by, I’m sold on it. Of course there’s the devil’s distance between mere pictures and the actual movie, but nevertheless I’ve got my blood pumping up again, for I haven’t been grabbed by stills of Ram Gopal Varma’s movies since Company.
Surya’s ‘Rakta Charitra’ outlook!
It is known that Surya has been roped in for Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Rakta Charitra’ to play the role of Maddelacheruvu Suri in the film. The movie’s first look pictures have come out. Surya has been shown in a mass and rough look to suit the real life character of Suri. Surya will be seen deglamorously in the film. However, his role in the film is quite challenging and as equal as the lead role, Vivek Oberoi who is portraying the role of a rebel-turned politician Paritala Ravi.
Rakta Chaitra is being made trilingually and it has two parts ‘Rakta Charitra 1′ and ‘Rakta Charitra 2′. The former part deals with the rise of Paritala Ravi while the latter one deals with how Ravi was trapped in enemies’ plans. According to grapevine, Surya will be seen fuming with the revenge in the film.
Rs.30 Crores budget for ‘Rakta Charitra’
Ram Gopal Varma’s new movie ‘Rakta Charitra’ is being made at a budget of Rs.30 crores if sources are to be believed.
As informed by RGV about the two part movie of the story, it is not clear if the budget is for both the parts put together or just the first part!
With Tamil’s happening star Suriya acting along with Bollywood hero Vivek Oberoi, RGV has not compromised in experimenting their looks, clothes and everything tangible.
Being a master in showing crime related movies on celluloid like ‘Satya’, ‘Company’, ‘Sarkar’ and many more, it would be interesting to see the real life story of Paritala Ravi and Maddelu Cheruvu Suri on celluloid especially in RGV’s style.
Though the initial pictures of the lead actors have come out, the movie is being shot under tight wraps, not leaking any more information. Watch out for this space for more updates.
Vivek doing action again
Vivek Oberoi was over the moon with the mega opening his film Prince received.
While we wondered whether the reception was courtesy the three hot, skimpily clad women he was romancing, Vivek is now looking confident about his once sinking career. After Prince Vivek is shooting for Ram Gopal Verma's Rakta Charitra which is yet another innovation from Ramu. The film will be simultaneously released in three languages -- Tamil, Telegu and Hindi. The film is a five hour film which will be released in two parts with a gap of three months.
Apart from all this, Vivek apparently has now stumbled onto something big. He said ecstatic, "I have got to get into the best shape of my life for this amazing new film I have signed. I need to thank you all for your prayers and good wishes!Your magic is working." Vivek is not revealing anything further but with his excitement clearly indicates to something big. We promise to keep all of you updated.
Priyamani with Surya for Rakta Charitra
Southern Belle Priyamani is going places. After her work in Ravana withMani Ratnam, now she will be seen in Ram Gopal Verma’s Rakta Charitra. She will be paired with Surya who is already a part of the cast and is playing a parallel important role in the film.
‘Rakta Charitra’ to be simultaneously made in Hindi as well as Tamil and Surya’s co-star for this movie will be Vivek Oberai.
“The film’s shooting would be held at a stretch but the release would be in two parts which would be spaced out over three months,” Varma is reported to have said. He is going to call the films Rakta Charitra I and Rakta Charitra II.
Rakta Charitra is supposed to be based on the slain political leader Paritala Ravindra. The first part is scheduled for a 2010 release with Viviek Oberoi in the lead and will co-star Shatrughan Sinha, Raj Babbar and Radhika Apte. Tamil actor Surya Sivakumar will play the role of Ravi’s assassin Maddelacheruvu Suri in both the parts.
Radhika Apte speaks on Raktha Charitra
Radhika Apte is the debut heroine of the multiple National Award winning Bengali film, Antaheen. (No, she did not get any National Award.) Now the lady is all set to make her Bollywood debut with RGV’s Raktha Charitra opposite Vivek Oberoi.
Raktha Charitra is based on the life of Paritala Ravi, a prime suspect in many murders.Radhika Aptewill play the role of Paritala Ravi’s wife in the film. The film is a trilingual (Hindi, Telugu and Tamil).
“We haven’t finished shooting RC yet. It should get done by May. Ramu is fantastic and I’m lucky to have been cast in this film. He has immense clarity and works at great pace. His style of film-making is completely different from that of Aniruddha’s,” she said to a leading English daily.
“I knew about Paritala Ravi before I was approached for the movie. I’m playing Paritala Ravi’s wife. I haven’t met her in real life. Ramu has. He has also narrated stories about her. Besides, there is some footage available on her that I needed to study to ensure that my on-screen look comes close to hers,” she added.
Interestingly, Tamil star Suriya has also been cast in a pivotal role in the film!
