Ram Gopal Varma states Mohit Suri's film will surpass 'Dhurandar', mentioning Daud Ibrahim

Filmmakers Ram Gopal Varma and Mohit Suri announced their collaboration on a film on Sunday, causing significant excitement among fans. Mohit's previous film was the blockbuster 'Saiyara'. The new project will feature not only a romantic storyline but also a crime drama.

Ram Gopal Varma often shares thoughts about his films on social media. Now he has openly discussed the upcoming film with Mohit Suri. According to RGV, the plot will unfold during the period of severed ties between Daud Ibrahim and Chhota Rajan. The film will incorporate Mohit Suri's signature style and, in RGV's opinion, will be grander than the mega-blockbuster 'Dhurandar'.

On the social network X, Ram Gopal Varma wrote that although he is a co-producer and wrote the screenplay, Mohit Suri elevated it to an entirely different level as the project's director. He specified that the story is based on the time when Daud Ibrahim and Chhota Rajan were separated. The plot centers around a character named Soujanya and depicts the involvement of Indian intelligence agencies in subsequent events. These events are also linked to important moments following the 1993 bombings.

Ram Gopal Varma added that for creating a story of this nature, Mohit incorporated his unique style. Audiences can expect a powerful combination of heartfelt characters, magnificent emotional music, and previously unseen realistic action sequences.

He continued that he does not compare his film to another, but he always wondered what a cult film like 'JAWS' would be like if directed by Francis Ford Coppola, or 'The Godfather' by Steven Spielberg. He noted that the key difference would lie in their distinctions, but the similarity would be in the deep understanding of the characters. After seeing Mohit's vision for the script he wrote, he was convinced that their film would be on a much higher level than 'Dhurandar' and would be more deeply connected to the heart than 'Satya'.

Currently, information regarding who is producing Mohit Suri and Ram Gopal Varma's film, as well as the cast members, has not been disclosed. It is reported that Mohit will first complete work on his film 'Saiyara' with Ahan Panday and Anita Padda before starting the Ram Gopal Varma project.

Mahesh Babu's Son Gives Yash's Film 0.5 Stars, Calling It 'Disgusting'

Superstar Mahesh Babu's son, Gautham Ghattaman, has drawn public attention through his Letterboxd profile. Gautham is a huge film enthusiast, having watched over 400 films across various genres and languages, and has reviewed many of them. Recently, his review of the film 'Toxic' became a subject of active discussion.

The film, released on August 26th, received only 0.5 stars from Gautham on Letterboxd. Although the movie garnered mixed reviews and was generally disliked by the public, its box office performance has also been challenging. While some South Indian actors are attempting to support the 'sinking ship' 'Toxic,' Gautham's review only intensifies the criticism, raising questions about the unity of South Indian actors.

As soon as Gautham's half-star rating became known, discussions began among film fans: why would someone give such a low rating to such a highly discussed film featuring a major actor like Yash? However, an analysis of Gautham's profile shows that when assigning ratings, he focuses more on personal preferences than on star status.

Gautham has also rated several works by his father and actor Mahesh Babu, and his tastes here have proven quite interesting. He gave full 5 stars to the films 'Pokiri' and '1: Nenokkadine'. Nevertheless, the ratings for some other Mahesh Babu films were significantly lower. For instance, 'Nizam' and 'Vamsi' received 2 stars each, while 'Brahmotsavam' received only 1 star. This demonstrates that being the father's film does not translate into higher ratings. Fans note that Gautham's film choices are not dependent on personal connections with the family or the filmmakers.

Gautham's cinematic preferences are not limited to Telugu films. His Letterboxd profile indicates an interest in watching films of different genres and languages. He gave full 5 stars to movies such as 'Sholay', 'Project Hell Mary', 'Knives Out', and 'Jersey'. Furthermore, he also rated 'Baahubali 2' with 5 stars. The films 'Pelli Choopulu' and 'Sita Ramam' received 4.5 stars from him. Analyzing Gautham's ratings, fans discuss that he judges films based on quality and personal taste, rather than the fame of the actors or industry status.

If anyone thought Gautham gave 'Toxic' half a star out of anger, that is not the case. In his profile, the film 'Liger' also received a 0.5-star rating. Thus, the low rating for Yash's film 'Toxic' is not an isolated incident. Gautham has previously given very low scores to other films that sparked much debate among viewers. Gautham's rating list also includes Aditi Dhara's popular film 'Dhurandhar', which received 4 stars, and 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' received 3 stars. Therefore, Gautham's rating list encompasses a significant number of films from Bollywood, Telugu cinema, and other languages.

Gautham's low rating of Yash's film 'Toxic' has become another topic of discussion surrounding the movie. Until now, opinions of viewers and critics regarding the film were divided. Consequently, the low rating from Mahesh Babu's son has significantly increased fan interest on social media.

Gittu Mohandas directed 'Toxic'. Despite the low ratings and mixed reception, the tour of 'Toxic' in theaters continues. By the seventh day, the film collected 272.80 million rupees in India, with the net collection in the country reaching 229.95 million rupees. As for global earnings, the film has surpassed the mark of 313 million rupees.

Trailer for the film 'Daira' featuring Karina Kapoor and Prithviraj Sukumaran released

The official trailer for the highly anticipated film 'Daira,' starring actress Karina Kapoor and southern actor Prithviraj Sukumaran, was released on Monday morning. The film is directed by Mehna Guljar, and the trailer shows that the narrative will concern not just an investigation, but an entire struggle for truth, system, and justice.

In the trailer, both actors play police officers, but their approaches to work and worldviews differ drastically. The film is scheduled to be released in theaters on September 18.

The plot of 'Daira' revolves around two well-known police officers—Raman Kumar and Ajuni. Prithviraj Sukumaran plays Raman Kumar, and Karina Kapoor embodies the character of Ajuni. The intrigue arises when a case involving the disappearance of a young woman places both heroes in opposing positions within the system.

On one hand, Raman Kumar has a questionable service record; he faces serious accusations such as fake detentions and police abuse of power. On the other hand, Ajuni constantly challenges Raman's methods and decisions.

The issue ceases to be merely about finding the girl; it transforms into a discussion about the boundaries of justice within the system.

In the trailer, Prithviraj's character appears very harsh and surrounded by scandals. For Raman Kumar, managing the law and the system according to his own discretion is nothing new. At the same time, Karina, playing Ajuni, questions every one of his steps and methods. As their paths collide, the tension in the story builds up.

Through this conflict, the film raises questions about the limits of violence in the name of truth, accountability, and justice. It is not just a story about solving a mystery; the film also poses the audience with the question: is violating the boundaries of the system justified to achieve justice?

One of the main features of 'Daira' is that Karina Kapoor and Prithviraj Sukumaran appear together in a film for the first time. Their confrontation on screen seems to be the most captivating part of the trailer. On one side, Karina demonstrates a reserved police persona, while on the other, Prithviraj plays a rough and intense character.

Besides them, Bishwapati Sarkar and Jitendra Joshi play important roles in the film. Mehna Guljar is responsible for the direction, having previously established herself with works such as 'Talwar' (2015) and 'Raji' (2018). Her previous film was 'Sam Bahadur' (2023) starring Vicky Kaushal.

Mehna is also involved in the editing, working with Charu Shri Roy. The script and story were developed by Mehna together with Yash Keswani and Sima Agrawal. The technical team is also very strong: Parvez Sheikh oversees action, Saurabh Goswami ISC handles cinematography, while Subrat Chakravarty and Amit Re are responsible for production design.

Another interesting detail about 'Daira' is the collaboration between composer Amit Trivedi and legendary poet Gulzar, who are working together for the first time. The name Gulzar itself is a legacy of songs in Hindi cinema, which increases expectations for the music in this collaboration.

Regarding the release, 'Daira' will be in theaters on September 18. On the same day, the box office will feature competition with the comedy film 'Vibe' starring Kunal Khemu and Preeti Jinta. Thus, on September 18, audiences will see either Mehna Guljar's detective thriller or a comedy film.
