RGV reveals the idea to make a film on Shashikala
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,December 24 2016]
The concept that films are made for entertainment is outdated, says filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma.
"The primary job of any filmmaker is to entertain. I don't believe in this concept because it's outdated, and I think even a tweet can entertain audiences nowadays. Sometimes, an idea of working on a story can be more entertaining than the film itself," Varma told in an interview.
The 'Satya' filmmaker last week announced his next movie titled 'Shashikala', and had said it is the story of a "dearest closest friend of a politician".
"The idea to make a film on Shashikala is entertainment by itself and it doesn't matter whether it's filmy enough or not. I plan to start working on the project next year," he said, without divulging more information about the project.
Varma's latest Telugu crime drama 'Vangaveeti' hit the screens on Friday.
