Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma's love for crime dramas and in-depth
knowledge about the biggest gangsters is well known. After helming a crime
trilogy—one of which is loosely based on Dawood Ibrahim, RGV is now making a movie
on Bangalore-based gangster, Muthappa Rai which has been titled Rai and will
star Vivek Oberoi.
Known as the ‘Godfather of Bangalore', Muthappa was involved
in land mafia, extortion, etc, since the mid-80s. Though Muthappa is relatively
unidentified outside Karnataka, Ramu feels the gangster's story has sheer drama
and dynamism. RGV told that stories of Pablo Escobar, Dawood Ibrahim, Al Capone
would be nothing in front of Muthappa's journey.
The 54-year-old director told the movie will be will be made
in four languages - Kannada, Hindi, Telugu and Tamil and will be extensively
shot in Mangalore, Bangalore, Mumbai, Dubai and London.
