Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has shared details regarding his upcoming collaborative project with director Mohit Suri, positioning the film as a gritty, large-scale underworld drama that bridges two distinct cinematic styles.
Project Premise and Creative Roles
-
Behind the Scenes: The untitled film is written and co-produced by Ram Gopal Varma, with Mohit Suri handling directorial duties.
-
Historical Underworld Backdrop: The narrative is set during the historical split between underworld figures Dawood Ibrahim and Chhota Rajan, triggered by a key operative named Sautya. The plot will trace the involvement of Indian intelligence agencies and the subsequent fallout following the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts.
-
Directorial Vision: RGV praised Suri’s capability to elevate his written script, blending raw, realistic crime mechanics with trademark emotional depth, powerful musical scoring, and ultra-realistic action set-pieces.
Scale and Comparisons
Comparing the creative collaboration to an intersection of contrasting directing styles, RGV noted that the film is designed to feel larger in scale than Dhurandhar while maintaining the deeply rooted character focus characteristic of his classic crime drama Satya.
Alongside this venture, RGV is currently developing the cop thriller Police Company—featuring Harshvardhan Rane as Mumbai encounter specialist Daya Nayak—while Mohit Suri prepares to reunite with actors Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda following their previous work together.
