After the brickbats RGV is raring to Go again
His last film may have fizzled at the box office, but Ram Gopal Varma is raring to go. Quite literally. Go is the name of the next film to roll out of RGV’s Factory.
And Varma has put the past week’s brickbats behind him, and seems to be taking even Sholay director Ramesh Sippy’s criticism in his stride.
“It’s foolish he said. And he waited till the release of the film to say that,†Varma said matter-of-factly.
Upping the celeb quotient at the event was actor Zayed Khan who was there to show his support for his childhood friend Gautam, who makes his debut with Go.
And Zayed played the good pal role to the hilt. “He is my friend and he deserves all the success. I have seen a few shots of the film and they are great,†Zayed said.
Varma is once again playing his bets with Go, a fast paced road movie made of largely newcomers. The music is also by a newcomer, Sneha Khanwalkar and if that comes as surprise to you, well then you’re not alone.
“She came to me chewing gum and wearing jeans. I thought she was an actress but was shocked when I heard she is a composer. And then I was even more shocked when I heard her tunes,†Varma said.
While Sneha says that RGV gave her a “one-line brief and asked me to make a song on it, which I did. So, that’s how it took off.â€
With the film expected to release on September 28, Varma must be hoping that it will make his detractors Go back to the theatres.
