RGV to direct Rana

  • IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,April 23 2011]

Maverick film maker Ram Gopal Varma has declared that he would work with Rana Daggubati. Varma announced that Rana will be the hero in his upcoming Hindi project 'Department'. RGV had earlier signed Abhishek Bachchan for this film.

But since Abhishek's call sheets are not available, Varma settled down for Rana.

The film revolves around politics and Police department.RGV announced 3D film 'Amma', Bejawada Rowdilu et al. Though we are not sure when these films will go on floors and if they will ever be made at all, Varma clarified that 'Department' will happen for sure.

Apart from Rana, RGV has roped in Sanjay Dutt and Ritesh Deshmukh for 'Department'. Since Rana is now well known in Bollywood with his debut film 'Dum Maro Dum', Varma wants to try Rana in this flick. Rana's 'Dum Maro Dum' released in theatres this week and evoked lukewarm response from the audience. Besides, he didn't win critical acclaim for his action.

Due to date problems to match combination with other actors, I am going ahead with Rana Daggubati, instead of Abhishek Bachchan in 'Department' Varma announced on social networking site.
