Heard about the Baahubali of Bangalore?
Ram Gopal Varma, who is currently working on Killing Veerppan with Shivarajkumar has revealed that his next movie will be on the Bangalore underworld. He reveald through a series of tweets on Twitter that he will be making a movie of Muthappa Rai. Here's what he said:
"Had a most amazing meeting and a most fascinating understanding of the Banglore underworld. Banglore underworld has a far more viscous quality which explains its pan india effect nd it's links to Mumbai and Dubai based Underworld. After all my understanding what I had of the underworld I realised today that the D Company is much less in comparison to B Company. To just call it Banglore Underworld is not justified because today I realised that Banglore underworld is actually the Indan underworld."
In the tweets that followed, he revealed the name of the movie and the subject:
The name of my film on the Banglore Underworld is going to be "Appa" and the tagline of "Appa" is going to be -The Father of all Godfathers". I always thought Godfather was a fictional character but after Meeting Mutthappa Rai realised he is real and he is father of all Godfathers. Mutthappa Rai I think is the Bahubali of the Underworld. Some media ppl reporting Mutthappa Rai's son is acting in "Appa" is completely false..casting not finalised as script work still going on. Also I want to clarify except for him being the inspiration for the film,Mutthappa rai is in no way connected to "Appa" in any which way. The research I gathered on Banglore underworld in general and Mutthappa Rai in particular came from multiple sources and not from Mr.Rai. What I heard about Mutthappa Rai from others including cops and his enemies is far far more than what I actually heard from Mr.Rai himself. I gathered information about Mutthappa rai not only from the Banglore underworld but also from various sources in Mumbai and Dubai."
