Veerappan
Ram Gopal Varma is back. The prolific is all set with his film based on the life of one of India's most dreaded criminals, Veerappan. RGV's movie 'Veerappan' revolves around Asia's biggest manhunt in history, the hunt for Koose Muniswamy Veerappan, also known as bandit Veerappan. The biopic has Sandeep Bharadwaj in the titular character and Lisa Ray.
RGV seems to be back with what he excels in, dark, dramatized portrayal of reality has been filmmaker's forte and this film exactly emits that. RGV is hoping to re-invent himself with this comeback of sorts. "I looked at the last few films I directed and realised that I did not want to be repetitive. A director is as good as the subject he chooses and with this criminal who murdered 97 men, I am back in Bollywood," he had stated.
Fourteen years after Isha Koppikar sizzled in 'Khallaas' in Varma's gangster thriller, 'Company', the filmmaker has recreated the special number for his `Veerappan' biopic. Zarine Khan, who made waves with her bold turn in 'Hate Story 3', steps into Isha's shoes in the song.
'Veerappan' is produced by Sachiin Joshi's Viiking Media and Entertainment and is striking in Cinemas on 27th May.
