RGV plans to make his version of Ramayana!

When it comes to out of the line thoughts and projects, Ram Gopal Varma is the only name that shines out. He has in previous, attempted to create his version of 'Sholay', the Ramesh Sippy movie and named it as 'RGV's Ki Aag'. The director is now getting ready to make his version of Ramayana in Telugu.

Confirming the news, Ram Gopal Varma told Mumbai Mirror, "My version of the Ramayana will be a modern day interpretation of the epic. It is my imagination of what would have happened if the mythological characters existed in 2011." 

RGV will be setting the top stars in Telugu for the movie. He was keen to reveal the subject to the media. Situated in Andhra Pradesh, circa 2011, the film will be based on a war between two big corporates."It is the story of Dasharath Rao who heads Ayodhya group of companies. He is married to Kaushalya. On a business trip, he meets a woman named Kaikeyi Agarwal and ends up marrying her," revealed Ramu about the storyline of his next big venture. 

"Dasharath Rao promises his second wife Kaikeyi that he will hand over his business to her son Bharat Kumar and not Ram Shankar, his son from the first wife. He asks Ram to head a sick unit situated far away. Ram's brother Lakshman Shankar follows him," added the filmmaker. 

And the story gets better with the rivals of Ayodhya group entering the scene. Lanka group of companies headed by Raavan Raju creates problems for Dasharath's family. Raavan has a brother Bheeshan Raju and a sister Shoorapauna. Shoorapauna is a party animal and a drug addict. 

While the character names and the plot would appear comic to many, Ramu himself denied making a parody of the religious text. "Unlike the speculations, my film is not going to be a comedy or a parody. It will be a very serious family thriller on the lines of Sarkar. It will first be made in Telugu and then in Hindi," said the filmmaker. Ramu even assured that with this film he would make sure no religious sentiments are hurt.
