  The actor is currently in Mumbai, shooting for the ace director’s Raktha Charitra that’ll release in two parts. “It’s interesting to see how the character — which we had in mind for almost five years now —actually looks on screen,” reveals the actor, talking to CT from Mumbai.
  
  The film’s subject, which revolves around the life of Paritala Ravi (a prime suspect in many murder cases), seems to have caught the fancy of both the director and the actor. “While shooting the scenes, it’s almost as if we’re experiencing what the characters in the subject are going through,” states the Ayan star.
  
  Another unique distinction is that the film is being shot simultaneously in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. “We’re shooting every scene in all the three languages.... So, it’s quite an experience,” smiles Suriya.
  
  The actor has become a big fan of RGV’s casting sense. “One of my co-artistes in the flick is an event manager,” he says, “RGV seems to know exactly where talent lies. He doesn’t believe in big names; it’s just the talent that counts. For instance, I loved his choice of villain in Sarkar; I later learnt that he was a fitness trainer!” Though RGV has made several films of note, this flick will set a new high for him. “According to him, Raktha Charitra will be the best film in his career,” says the actor.
  
  So, what’s it like working in Bollywood? “It’s a new ambience for me on the sets,” he says, “And, I’m sure that it’ll be a great platform for my career.”.

  He is not a familiar face in Bollywood. Neither is he a typical Tinseltown hero in designer wear and trendy haircut. But when Suriya walks out in a prisoner’s attire after giving his shot, he sure catches your attention. We wonder if it’s the tousled hair, the stubble, the toothy smile, the six-pack or the intense gaze, which have earned him a huge fan following down South. Suriya is now making his Bollywood debut with Raktha Charitra, a two-part biopic directed by Ram Gopal Varma, based on the life of Telugu politician Paritala Ravi.
  
  While Vivek Oberoi plays Ravi, Suriya will appear as his rival Maatal Suri in the climax of the first part. His character gains more prominence in the second part. “I am here in Bollywood with a lot of expectations. My people back home have asked me to make them proud,” says the 34-year-old. “The good part is that I am doing this movie in three languages—Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. I first give my shot in Tamil and then Hindi. This way, I get the emotions right.”
  
  Suriya, who will be stationed in Mumbai for the next one month, says that he is quite familiar with the city of his in-laws. “My wife Jyothika’s parents live here and I have visited them a few times,” he says, but complains about not getting the time to explore the city.
  
  Though the actor had caught Hindi filmmakers’s attention earlier, RGV gets the credit for convincing him for a Bollywood debut. “I have no plans of moving to Mumbai. But I was impressed with RGV’s idea and my character in Raktha Charitra,” he states. Suriya finds Bollywood overpowering. “The canvas is huge here. There is constant pressure to stay in the news.”
  
  In the South, the top actors have etched out their identities. Vijay is known for his charismatic personality and Ajit for his macho image. However, Suriya seems to have escaped the typecasting. “I want to be known as a versatile actor and I always want my movies to be bigger than me,” he says. The inspiration for this comes from his childhood idol Kamal Haasan.
  
  Son of veteran Tamil actor Sivakumar, Suriya is termed as contemporary Tamil cinema’s strongest crowd-puller and his stardom extends to Tamil enclaves overseas. But his first 10 films flopped — making him regret his decision to quit his job at a garment export company. “I have cried into my pillow and wondered if I had done the right thing by taking up acting.”
  
  His big break came in 2001 with Nandha, directed by Bala, who also changed Suriya’s approach towards acting. “Bala Sir told me that I have powerful eyes and I should use them more while acting,” he reveals. In the following years, films like Ghajini, Vaaranam Aayiram and the action-oriented Vel and Ayan have managed to weave magic at the box office.
  
  Although Suriya has been hailed as a mass hero, he tries something new in each of his movies. “In the South, an actor needs to make films in a certain manner since multiplex movies are still not a draw. Hence, I try to do roles which will be remembered for a long time to come. And Raktha Charitra is one of them.

  Meet Suriya, RGV's Mr Eyes
  
  In Tamil, after Kamal Haasan, Suriya is considered an actor with tremendous range, and unlike his contemporaries Ajith or Vijay, he has the potential and courage to experiment with roles.
  
  His performance in the Tamil original Ghajini spawned a Hindi remake of the same name starring Aamir Khan, who praised the Tamil actor's understated and subtle performance.
  
  Now Suriya is ready to take on Bollywood with his first Hindi film, Ram Gopal Varma's Rakta Charitra. He plays an extremely serious character Maddelacheruvu Suryanarayana Reddy alias Suri in the movie.
  
  In this exclusive interview to rediff.com's Shobha Warrier, Suriya talks about working with RGV and choosing a film like Rakta Charitra as his debut film in Hindi.

  
  Was it to expand your horizon as an actor that you accepted RGV's Rakta Charitra?
  
  I've been in the Tamil industry for at least 10-12 years. Luckily I got the chance to work with great directors on some great scripts. I still get good work in Tamil. But when interesting characters and scripts available in other languages come to you, you don't feel like saying 'no' to them. So yes, in that way, it is like expanding my horizons as an actor.
  
  Ram Gopal Varma has always fascinated me as a director because he creates his characters differently and takes his ideas to new heights. So, I knew unless I get out of my comfort zone, I will not be able to enjoy his style of film making. He will not come to Chennai to make a Tamil film, for sure. So, the only possibility for me is to get out and be a part of his venture.
  
  I must add here that it is not acting in a Hindi film that fascinated me. I didn't want to be another actor who tries to work in a Hindi film. I definitely didn't want that kind of attention.
  
  Why is it so?
  
  I am happy in Tamil, and I had no desire to be accepted as an actor who acted in a Hindi film. I didn't want any hype about the Hindi film I am doing; I want to concentrate on the film and the character. I will be happy if I am appreciated for the work I am doing.

  
  

• From: NOV on 7th April 2010 02:21 PM [Full View]

  
  
  

  So it is not the fact that it is a Hindi film which means national exposure, but the character that fascinated you?
  
  Of course, the story and the character fascinated me the most. With all due respect to the national audience and a big platform that Hindi films give, I want to do good work and be appreciated for it. I don't want the hero tag when I am acting in a Hindi film. I don't want anyone to say that another Tamil hero is trying to make it big in a Hindi film.
  
  What exactly interested you about Suri who is a real life character?
  
  Rakta Charitra is inspired by real life incidents. It is not from anyone's imagination that he was created. He is a fellow human being who went through many gamut of emotions in his life. For me, as an actor, it was a journey to live the emotions he went through in real life. I found his journey very exciting.
  
  How did you assimilate the character and his emotions, and started the journey?
  
  Actually I didn't go to any jail or do any research for the film. I only followed the briefings and explanations given by Ramu sir. Of course, I have seen some photographs of Suri.
  
  Did you read about him?
  
  I went through a brief synopsis of what happened to him. Basically, I had no intention to do a caricature of him. I didn't want to be his xerox copy.
  
  So, your portrayal of him will be an interpretation of him, and what he went through?
  
  You can say that. It is the way I see that character and portray him on screen. I have only looked at the whole thing as extraordinary reactions to extraordinary situations by an ordinary human being. It is like understanding what he goes through when he was put in extreme situations. What he has gone through, the gamut of emotions, I have not seen in real life.
  
  When Ram Gopal Varma offered you this film and the character, did you ask him, why me?
  
  Actually, I didn't because we had been discussing about many stories for quite sometime but nothing took off. One day, he told me this story and said, 'you should do this film and this character.' Soon, the discussions turned serious. He felt, it was more than doing another Hindi film, and I also felt the same.
  
  How was the experience of working with Ram Gopal Varma?
  
  I would say with Ramu sir, I don't see myself as doing a Hindi film. I might have got offers from other people but the south connection really helps. He was able to understand what I felt about many things. He was able to bridge the gap. I think it happened with Kamal sir, Rajni sir etc with producers from the south. I am enjoying working in the film mainly because Ramu sir is from the south and there is that comfort level.
  
  I was able to sit and chat with him like a close friend. He speaks very intelligently about anything on cinema, and he has analysed the medium so much that it is a pleasure talking to him. You learn so much from him. He also has complete control over what he does.

  Have you picked up Hindi now?
  
  I have a tutor who teaches me the language, so I am a bit familiar with the language. Now, I have started liking it.
  
  Ramu sir is making this film in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, and he saw to it that we shot the Tamil version first and then moved to the other languages. I feel close to the film because I am basically a Tamil actor. I get the emotions right because I know the language.
  
  Was it tough working in a language that is not known to you?
  
  It is tough because you don't get the nuances of the language. If you know the language, you know how to modulate a word to your advantage. On paper, a word may sound different. It even sounds different when an assistant director or director says it. What is more important is how you use the word and the emotion when you utter the dialogue. It changes according to the personality.
  
  Recently, Sudeep said that the Hindi film industry is not very welcoming to south Indian actors. Do you feel that way?
  
  I don't know. I have only worked with Ramu sir so far. I think you have to produce good work, that is all. So far, I have not felt anything different in the work space.
  
  One thing I must say because of the interviews Aamir Khan had given about me during Ghajini, there is a lot of respect for me. In every interview, he used to say, the original was done by Suriya and whether he would be able to match my performance. It was very nice of him to say such things. I must really thank him for putting me on a pedestal. Not many actors do that. So, a lot of people look up to me from Aamir Khan's words.
  
  Recently Ram Gopal Varma wrote a blog about you as Mr Eyes...
  
  I know. I read the blog [laughs shyly]. I think he has praised me too much in the blog! Ramu sir kept saying this while shooting. He also said that he booked me because of my eyes only, because the original character's eyes are very powerful.
  
  Thanks to my director Bala sir, I have trained myself to use my eyes while acting. I think there are other actors who are more powerful with their eyes in expressing emotions. I must thank him, though for his kind words.
  
  Are you looking forward to the reaction to your first Hindi film, or are you only interested in the character?
  
  Of course, I value the response. It is another segment of people with a different sensibility altogether. I will be happy if I can satisfy their sensibility. I will be happy if I am accepted and am looking forward to the release of the film. But I don't see myself doing a lot of Hindi films. I will do a Hindi film only when I get a character that I will not get here in Tamil. Tamil film directors and Tamil people are making me more than happy, otherwise.
  
  Your next Tamil film is a commercial one like Singam. As an actor, how different is it for you to act in a film like Singam or Vaaranam Aayiram or Rakta Chartira. What are the kinds of films you enjoy?
  
  Every film and every character is challenging. I enjoy every film of mine, and that is why I jump from one genre to another. I like to do a Singam or a Vaaranam Aayiram. I like to do a Ram Gopal Varma film. After this, I have Murugadoss's film. I like to do different kinds of films as every film is a different experience.

(I think his first big hit in Telugu got dubbed as 'udhayam' in Thamizh with Amala's hubby as hero & IR's music was supposedly a rage in Andhra for the original. He remade it a couple of years back as Shiva 2006 with at least one song from the old version, remix of panneer pushpangaL's Anandha rAgam kEtkum kAlam and another remix of 'vidiya vidiya nadanam' of IT. It went without a trace at BO).

  Rangeela songs were big hit then, back in Singapore where I was working and also here.
  
  Also, I must have been one of about 11 fellers who saw Udhayam back then...the films fight sequences (I thought then) were heavily influenced by Kamal's Sathya and I didn't have issues with that.

  RGV's Kill Bill? Saw the trailer - another one of those 'muyarchi' films by RGV. Surya looks menacing though.

  Firstly, Mani Sharma isn't necessarily a bad choice. Based on my knowledge of telugu films, his bgm and meesic is very effective for Rayala seema rivalry, and chase set-pieces (believe me this film will have many, it's essentially a death flee, uh, a death race for both the families & the two lead characters ) RGV might be the guy to bring the best out of him Hopefully no "Sarkar" - turn the volume down.
  
  Secondly, I don't think this is a "muyarchi". It seems more up his alley, ala Shiva, Kshanam kshanam (if not the dark comedy, trademark set-pieces were effective here, and believe me, RGV could be swayed with it, & he'll lose control), Satya, Company, and Sarkar. And not one of his eccentric "I can do different genre" exercises. The subject has always fascinated the telugu filmmakers, but no one dared to touch it (especially that lot of telugu actors & producers are lineage-dependent, hold a family/cast-based audience). RGV might get away considering his pan Indian stature. Kinda like Mani in that respect. It has enough in it to be a "vehicle" for RGV's cinematic tropes, and make it work...

  The Southern superstar who’s best known for his work in the original Ghajini is finally set to spread his magic on the Hindi audiences. After being a reigning name in the Southern industry for quite some time now Ram Gopal Verma is finally bringing Surya to Hindi screens in his upcoming venture Rakhta Charitra.
  
  The film is based on real life incidents and Surya will be playing the character of Maddelacheruvu Suri whilst co-star Vivek Oberoi will be playing Paritala Ravindra. Shatrughan Sinha and Southern actress Priyamani (soon to appear in Mani Ratnam’s Raavan) will also be seeing in pivotal roles.
  
  Speaking about the film Surya expressed his excited to a leading tabloid, “I found a message in my inbox saying ‘I loved your intensity in Kaakha Kaakha.’ It was from RGV. I had always wanted to meet him. After reading that mail, I met him and we’ve been good friends since. For a long time, I’ve wanted to work with him and then, Rakta Charitra happened. This film is not fantasy. It is inspired by the life of a person who still exists. I play the character of Suri in this film. This is my first pan India film; still, for me, this is a Tamil film.”
  
  But one is left to wonder what inspired the very unpredictable RGV to take on this film and this story. He answered this question when speaking to the press. “I’ve always been interested with topics that deal with the dark side. This movie is based on true incidents that occurred in interior Andhra Pradesh. I wanted to make this movie in many languages as it needs to be told to as many people as possible. It is a violent film but the violence is in the emotion. It has individualistic and extreme characters”.
  
  The film is said to be releasing in two parts as the full length of the film spans to a total of 5 hours. A three-month gap is anticipated between the two parts. August 2010 is the planned release date of the film and the recently released teaser trailer is making audiences even more excited for the release of this much talked about project.

  Surya's trailer (part II) proves his interpretation is on a different level (in nuance & intensity) to Oberoi's (part I)
  
  The final shot is disturbing (not so if you know Rayala seema in and out) the uncontrollable rampage & intemperate rage. Mr.Eyes in deed.

  As mentioned, his father's story was made into a movie as Sri Ramulayya starring Mohan Babu, a TDP colleague of Ravindra. It was standard issue do-gooder nAttamai type fare.
  
  Ravindra's life is far more interesting than Suri's, but looks like Surya has invested far more than Oberoi boy so the second part, while having less interesting material to draw from real life, is likely to be the more interesting reel part.

  RGV's Pat for Suriya
  
  IndiaGlitz
  
  [Wednesday, May 19, 2010]
  
  Ram Gopal Varma praising his actors is something uncommon! RGV has apparently lauded his hero Suriya in his movie Raththa Charithram .Suriya has convincingly impressed director perfectionist Ram Gopal Varma. With muscular body and a highly emoting face, Suriya is any director's dream is what RGV claims. Most actors either have muscular body and no acting ability, or an actor who acts extraordinarily well but no muscular body! RGV thinks Suriya is the actor with equilibrium.According to sources close to the director, Suriya had to act in an important action scene with his clothes off! Suriya had apparently asked Ram Gopal Varma a break of one month so that he can tone his body further! Shocked at the request Ramu asked Suriya if it was possible for change in one month! With much hesitation the director had given the actor a break.On his return and much to the director's surprise, it was a revelation for the director to see the toned body of the hero. He was in awe of Suriya and much to his delight, the action scenes in Raththa Charithram have come out well.

  RGV: "ENJOYED SHOOTING A MAN'S BODY, CREDIT TO SURIYA"!
  
  Director Ram Gopal Varma is a happy man today, thanks to Suriya. When the director approached him to begin the shooting of Raktha Charithra, the actor asked for a month’s time to tone up his body.
  
  RGV was sceptical about it because Suriya already had a fabulous body but decided to honour his wishes. A month later, when the actor presented himself before the director, he was surprised at the changes.RGV said, “I was zapped to see the improvement. For all my reputations of shooting a Woman's body this is the first time I enjoyed shooting a man’s body and the credit goes to his determination and spirit and his constant strives to better himself…”

  Surya's physique stuns Ram Gopal Varma

  Source: oneindia
  
  Surya is well known for his insatiable passion of bettering himself as an actor. He has proved of such adeptness with his previous films.
  
  Of course, he happens to be one of finest actors, who could present himself with 9 different get-ups from 16yr old boy to 64yr grandpa in Vaaranam Aayiram.
  
  Having won appreciations from various filmmakers, the actor has now transfixed the most maverick filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma.
  
  Ram Gopal Varma has openly confessed that he hasn’t seen such a brilliant actor, who strives to better himself from day-to-day.
  
  Interacting with media channels, he has said, “Initially, we planned to shoot a fight sequence at a certain period. Right before a day of that shooting schedule, Surya called up and requested whether the fight scene could be shot after a month. I was quite shocked hearing this and thought whether he has gone mad. Somehow, he convinced me and we had to wait for a month time. Ah! I was surprised to witness his improvement after a month. For all my reputations of shooting a Woman's body this is the first time i enjoyed shooting a man’s body and the credit goes to his determination and spirit of being perfect…”

  Suriya is a Director’s dream-Says RGV
  
  News Date:20th May,10
  
  Ace director Ram Gopal Varma who is known for giving thrilling and subdued films is back with a bang in Ratha Charithram (Tamil)..*As one can see the phrase in banners ‘Revenge is the purest emotion’ then one knows an intense thriller awaits them.
  
  The story is based on powerful residents Parithala Ravi and Maattal Seruvu Soori. Vivek Oberoi dons the role of Ravi whereas Surya will be enacting Soori. The director was in full appreciation for Suriya as he had said” It would be any Directors dream to have an actor with a combination of intensity in facial expressions and a mind-blowing body to go with it.Most of the time there will be actors with good bodies but they can’t act and then there will be very good intense actors who cannot dare to take their shirt off. Only in Surya I found this never before seen combination of an extraordinary body coupled with an extraordinary intensity in his facial expressions....

  Surya's intensity in the stills
  Surya should excel in this role, and give something different without hangover of his previous roles like Nanda.
  
  It's extremely relevant that RGV casted him based on "Nanda". That's a film made in deterministic mode in Greek tradition. And this character, Suri (and Ravi's), is inevitably impelled to a state of violence, and as in every factional/rayala seema rivalry, there is an inherent lack of "Free will".

  The main plus of surya is that he changes himself to the charactor that he plays...for examples..he was looking like real physically challenged person in perazhagan..real grandpa and real drug addict in VA...now..he is looking like a real serial killer here in RC...

  Suriya'S Surprisal, RGV Stunned
  Thursday May 20, 2010
  
  Actor Suriya has already got lots of fans following him in Bollywood much prior to his Hindi debut Raktha Charithra would hit screens. Indeed, most of the B-town hotties have acclaimed him as the hottest guy ...ithu unmaiyaa... and that's for sure.There's yet another reason that will sparkle them with storming surprises.
  
  It's all about Suriya's flaunting his mind-boggling toned physique for Ram Gopal Varma's Raktha Charithra .Usually, RGV remains far away from extending more praises for his actors, but this time goes irresistible over it. He was completely taken to a flight of surprise after witnessing Suriya's dedication over improvising his physique. It seems that they were supposed to shoot a fight sequence and Suriya had suddenly requested to postpone the filming portion after a month.
  
  Quite perplexed over his approach, RGV wasn't sure whether his body would be the same. But after a month, it was stunning than ever before.Precisely, this should have turned all the public glare on Suriya in Bollywood.

  RGV's view on violence is that it's recursively self-destructive and not that it's "fun" (like say in a QT film). And that most characters are helplessly throw into situations where violence is their only resort, by that I only mean characters who aren't necessarily "psychos". There's always a "determinstic" view at heart.

  " revenge is the purest emotion "
  - I think it captures very much the lack of free will, of personal/individual constraints weighed in this particular (re)action. This is much more understandable if you consider that it's coming from a man who frankly asserted "Philanthropy is some disease of the head."

  RGV to speak ‘Rakhta Charitra’ in Telugu
  
  IndiaGlitz
  
  Prolific helmer Ram Gopal Varma will be donning a new avatar in his forthcoming multilingual political time bomb ‘Rakta Charitra’.
  
  The producer director will be doing a voice over for the film which stars Vivek Oberoi as slain politician Paritala Ravi. The voice over will be kept at the start and the end of the film.
  
  The film is being made in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi, where RGV will be heard in the Telugu version.
  
  Industrywalas know that Ram Gopal Varma’s Telugu accent is not up to mark but the filmmaker is smart in answering questions and holding the mike and also has a good voice.
  
  Let’s see how the filmmaker performs in his new avatar as the movie attracts attention from the wanted and unwanted sections from time to time.

  Rs.30 Crores budget for ‘Raktha Charithra’
  
  IndiaGlitz
  
  Ram Gopal Varma’s multi-lingual movie ‘Raktha Charithra’ is being made at a budget of Rs.30 crores if sources are to be believed.
  
  As informed by RGV about the two part movie of the story, it is not clear if the budget is for both the parts put together or just the first part!
  
  With Tamil’s happening star Suriya acting along with Bollywood hero Vivek Oberoi, RGV has not compromised in experimenting their looks, clothes and everything tangible.
  
  Being a master in showing crime related movies on celluloid like ‘Satya’, ‘Company’, ‘Sarkar’ and many more, it would be interesting to see the real life story of Paritala Ravi, an MLA from Andhra Pradesh and Maddelu Cheruvu Suri, an assasin, on celluloid especially in RGV’s style.

  RGV's passion for 'Raktha Charitra'
  
  IndiaGlitz
  
  Not many days ago, Ram Gopal Verma declared that 'Raktha Charitra' (RC) was going to be his most important film.* It seems that, with time, the film is turning out to be his biggest obsession.*
  
  In his blog post, India's foremost director says that he is travelling emotionally along with the characters (Paritala Ravi, Suri, Modduseenu, Obul Reddy to name a few), as the film is progressing at a brisk pace.
  
  Currently, RC is in the editor's room, but RGV is madly in love with his child.* He indicated that he was taking creative carte blanche in depicting the bloody saga, though he seems to be more interested in telling the truth.* But, he can't help it if he comes up with factual incorrectness, because, as he justifies, "For the simple reason that I was not present there when those terrible incidents were planned and made to happen.
  
  "He says that he is trying to get into the mindset of his characters.* Finally, he raises our expectations of RC top notch, when he writes that he believes in what someone had told him:* "If you truly seriously read a book, just in a few hours you can get all the knowledge of that author what it probably took that author a lifetime to gather and understand to put it in a certain perspective.
  
  "Now, we expect the same from this much-awaited flick.''

  RGV’s nightmarish experience with ‘Raktha Charitra’
  
  IndiaGlitz
  
  Maybe, he’s prone of making dim-witted horror flicks now and then, but you can’t criticize his works when it comes to the genre of ‘crime-thriller’. Be it his ‘Satya’ or ‘Sarkar’, the filmmaker dotted an unparalleled piece of spell in those films.
  
  And now, after series of supernatural thrillers: ‘Phoonk’, ‘Agyaat’ and ‘Phoonk -2’ (yet to release), Ram Gopal Varma gets stuck with his ducky-theme based on crime-drama. This time with a much difference of his film not revolving around Mumbai based Dons, RGV is set to make it on Andhra based Parithala Ravi, a convicted killer later a politician and his deadliest rival Bengali Suri…
  
  Once Ramu shored on the grounds of Anantpur, native land of Parithala Ravi, he was marooned with Ravi’s wife and close associates threatening him to stop making film on him. According to the reports, the fellow men of Ravi had their own instincts that Ramu is a kind of guy who portrays realisms and they didn’t want their God to be depicted in a bad manner.
  
  Says Ramu: ‘Yes, it’s true that these people have been strongly opposing to stop making film on their guru. Perhaps, some amongst these men are convicted for 100-200 murder cases ... ''Well.. How did this guy posses guts to stand amidst such people.''. And yet, I don’t feel like backing off and I’m more confident than before.’.. ''Ennathu more confident aa??? Intha news padicha udane kudal irukkirathu ellaamae konthalikkuthu... But this guy says he feels more encouraged''..
  
  As well the filmmaker added that he personally met Bengali Suri (enacted by Surya), the rival of Ravi who still feels frustrated about him.
  
  Vivek Oberoi does the role of Parithala Ravi in Hindi with Kangana Ranaut as his wife while Chennai Superstar Surya will be spotted as ‘Suri’ in all the three versions. Ravi’s characterization will be picked by actor Aadhi in both the versions of Tamil and Telugu.

  RGV is all in awe of Suriya
  
  By Moviebuzz
  
  Ram Gopal Varma is a director known for giving his female leads the makeover and presenting them in a very sexy and stylish manner.
  
  Remember how Ramu made use of his muses like Urmila Matgondkar, Antara Mali and Nisha Kothari look super sexy and hot on screen? now i got the answer for my much awaited question?? Pikkali payalae
  
  Now RGV has given one of his male leads look stunningly hot on screen. Yes Tamil superstar Suriya looks hot and happening in Raktha charithra fight scenes that are sure going to make women audiences drool.
  
  Ram Gopal Varma says: Initially we planned to shoot the crucial jail fight scene in the film at a certain time.
  
  A day before the shoot Suriya asked me if he can shoot after a month and I asked him are you mad and how can your body be more toned than it is now?To which his reply was just trust me. .... That's what we call damn spirit.
  
  I postponed the shoot and a month later I was zapped to see Suriya's deadly new muscled look .. .. Watch out rgv... He might give a nasty punch on ur nose out of dedication to his role in the film
  
  Ramu feels Suriya's fight scenes will be one of the highlights of the film''

  A good story knows no language barriers and it should come from the characters that one often sees in daily life, says maverick film director Ram Gopal Varma, who is getting ready for the release of his forthcoming film 'Raththa Charithram'.
  
  The movie starring Suriya, Vivek Oberoi and Priyamani is simultaneously being made in Telugu and Hindi as 'Raththa Charithram'. "This is a special movie in my career. It is based on a real life incident that shook Andhra Pradesh a few years ago," Ramu says.
  
  On reports that the film is loaded with scenes of bloodshed, the director says, "Those scenes were just a part of the film. It is no doubt a violent movie but it is not gory. Watch it, you can understand".
  
  Harping on the film's theme, he says, "Though it (the movie) reflects the anger, agony and frustration of individuals in Andhra Pradesh, the emotions underlined in the story are apt and such characters can be found even in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar or Tamil Nadu."
  
  On doing the movie in three languages, the director feels since the theme is universal, it has to be told to a wider audience.Impressed with Suriya's screen presence in 'Raththa Charithram', he says, "His volatile energy is what is needed for the character that he has performed. He has got under the skin of the character and given his best".
  
  Expressing his delight for having worked with Varma, Suriya says, "The movie takes a genuine look into the emotions that each individual goes through. What forces a youth to choose a violent path throwing rules to the wind and how ordinary people react in extraordinary situations forced us to do the movie".
  
  Produced by Madhu Mantena and Sheetal Vinod Talwar, the movie has Gnanavel penning the dialogues while lyrics are by Na Muthukumar and Kabilan.
  
  Ram Gopal Varma is planning to release 'Raththa Charithram' in Tamil and Telugu along with the Hindi version in August. However in Hindi, it would be released in two parts in a span of three weeks.
  
  Well... Varma must release the film in two parts in tamil and telugu alsoo... By releasing only in hindi in two parts and not in tamil and telugu the movie will definitely suffer some ups and downs in collections.... Well.. It also seems like that there will be a stiff competiton in august... Joseph vj's bodyguard will roar in august and alsoo ratha charithiram will show its blood to tamil,telugu and bolly audiences during the same month...

  Bollywood rediscovers the secret of 'multilinguals'
  
  | Friday, 21 May , 2010, 15:02
  
  For movies like Raavan, Rakta Charitra and The Business Man, makers are using the same locations, resources, mostly the same cast and shooting them simultaneously in different languages. The result is two films almost at the cost of one. Bollywood filmmakers now wield the megaphone for multilinguals that target a wider market.
  
  "The cost of making a film has gone so high that makers are getting into making multilingual films so that the loss is minimised by targeting the film at a wider audience and the reach of the film increases," trade analyst Komal Nahta said.
  
  "This (multilingual films) is a profitable trend and will stay on for at least some time," he added.
  
  Ram Gopal Varma has shot his upcoming two-part thriller Rakta Charitra in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. Based on the life of an alleged outlaw Paritala Ravi, it stars Vivek Oberoi, Shatrughan Sinha and Tamil superstar Surya.
  
  "Because of the subject matter of the film (Rakta Charitra), it was made a trilingual and also because of Tamil star Surya's presence in the film," said Varma.
  
  He has also decided to go trilingual in The Business Man, which gives crime a facelift. He will repeat Surya in the new gangster movie that will be made in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi.

  Fighters association demands more from Rakhta Charitra makers
  
  IndiaGlitz [Monday, May 24, 2010]
  
  For bilingual double and for trilingual triple that’s the news set of norms set by Bollywood's fighters' associations. Now producers have to pay more for fights and fighters participating in a bi-lingual and if it's a 3-language film then the producer has to pay three times more levy than a one-language film.
  
  The makers of ‘Rakta Charitra’ which is being made simultaneously in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu are facing this problem as they are asked to deposit three times more levy than usual.
  
  Producer Sheetal Talwar says, “It's true we were asked to pay up three times the normal levy for the fights in Rakta Charitra. The argument given was that Mani Ratnam's Raavan which is in two languages (Tamil and Hindi) had to pay twice the levy. But we argued back that in Raavan all the fights in the two languages were different since the Tamil and Hindi versions of the film star difference actors.
  
  In Rakta Charitra we have exactly the same cast in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu and the fights have not been shot twice over. Only the close-ups in the two versions are different.
  
  "The argument was not of much help and the association brought down the levy to twice rather than thrice the normal amount.
  
  However, the producers of ‘Rakta Charitra’ are still not willing to pay up the amount demanded, as this would entail an extra burden of Rs 50-60 lakhs on their budget.
  
  Tough to say who will win the ‘fight’

  PRIYAMANI ON ROLES IN RAAVAN AND RAKTHA CHARITHRA
  
  Priyamani should be in cloud nine these days because all the prestigious projects seem to be going her way. First it was Mani Ratnam’s Raavan and then it was a call from Ram Gopal Varma for Raktha Charithra where she will share the screen space with Suriya.
  
  Speaking about the two directors, Priyamani said that it was a great experience to work with the two best directors in the country.
  
  “Not only are both the characters quite different from each other, the experience working with both of them is also dissimilar,” she was quoted as saying. Mani’s Raavan will hit the marquee on June 18th and Raktha Charithra is nearing completion.

  Some time earlier.. I read somewhere that Surya will appear well into two hours of the film.. But as Surya is the marketing factor they may release the film as a single part in Tamil and two parts in other languages.
  
  But I m not sure about this news. If anyone knows the actuals, then please confirm..

  It's actually not that hard to figure out why. Ravi is dead. And the film will show him in negative light for taking up violence, even if there's a 'robin hood' like facet to his Naxalite past and his ensuing political avatar.
  
  Suri is alive. And Y.S Jagan (son of deceased Y.S Rajashekar Reddy) are both members of the ruling party ATM. And it would perfectly make sense to tone down the grey areas of Suri.

  But thats what I don't get. RGV is no more based in Andhra so why tone down the drama?. I would be happy if they show surya's character as black and white as he is in real life. Hope they show the atrocities as it is. I can feel more only for Vivek Oberoi's perspective. According to what I have heard and read its Suri's family who is the more eviler of the two and I can only sympathize with Ravi's cause.
  
  P.S: I sincerely hope they show Paritala Ravi tonsuring a star actor in the film, Do you get that, KG?.

  Haha yes.
  
  Yes, Ravi's family is undoubtedly more philanthropic, except they were forced to violence. I think most of this will be kept as is, by RGV.
  
  OTOH, majority of the fault is on Reddy family. I think the 'fault' will be maintained, but the levels will be toned down. I heard some atrocities of Suri and his family that I don't see translating to screen without RGV's life under threat.
  
  RGV might not be in Andhra, but it's not saying the same thing when it comes to a controversial story of his home-town, and one which he is going to do full-scale in Telugu (considerable number of 'screens' in this language, as much as Tamil and Hindi) after a long time. He did hour long interviews with all people involved, and most were with Suri !
  
  YS Jagan's involvement is still evading in the plot outline (although I understand most RGV real-life inspired films are kept secretive like Company, Sarkar), and promotion stills. Which tells me that RGV has given his word or is at least forced by persuasion and threat. I'm guessing it will be politically correct by toning down the accessible 'present' (so that Suri, played by Surya, had no 'free will' but was thrust into Rayala Seema rivlary - 'mirroring' Ravi's, this would make great drama even if not true to life! ) , while keeping the previous generation's story intact - that is, Reddy family initiated the vicious cycle of violence that transcended generations ! Surya's casting tells one that it will be balanced (without making a full blown slimeball villain - which is fine with me, for dramatic purpose and life isn't THAT black) that Tamil release also banks on some of his star power.

  விவேக் ஓபராயால் 'மாட்டிக் கொண்ட' சூர்யா - ப்ரியாமணி!

  தென்னிந்திய திரைப்படக் கூட்டமைப்பின் தடையை மீறி கொழும்பு போய் ஐஃபா விழாவில் கலந்து கொண்ட விவேக் ஓபராயால், நடிகர் சூர்யா - ப்ரியாமணி நடித்துள்ள ரக்த சரித்திரா படத்துக்கு பெரும் சிக்கல் ஏற்பட்டுள்ளது.
  
  இலங்கையில் நடைபெற்ற சர்வதேச இந்திய திரைப்பட விழாவில் பங்கேற்ற நடிகர், நடிகைகள் மீது கடும் நடவடிக்கை எடுக்க தென்னிந்திய திரைப்பட அமைப்புகள் தயாராகி வருகின்றன. இனியொரு முறை தடை அறிவித்தால், அதை மீற முடியாத மனநிலையை நடிகர் - நடிகைகளுக்கு ஏற்படுத்த வேண்டும் என்று அமைப்பின் நிர்வாகிகள் வலியுறுத்தி வருகின்றனர்.
  
  இவ்விழாவில் கலந்து கொள்வோருக்கு ஒத்துழைப்பு கொடுக்கமாட்டோம் என்று ஏற்கனவே எச்சரிக்கை விடுக்கப்பட்டு இருந்தது.
  
  தடையை மீறி இலங்கை பட விழாவில் பங்கேற்ற ஹிரித்திக்ரோஷனின் கைட்ஸ், கரீனா கபூரின் ராஜா சீட்டி படங்கள் தியேட்டர்களிலிருந்து தூக்கப்பட்டன. இப்படம் ஓடும் தியேட்டர்கள் முன்னால் ஆர்ப்பாட்டம் செய்வோம் என்று நாம் தமிழர் இயக்கம் அறிவித்ததால் இந்த நடவடிக்கை மேற்கொள்ளப்பட்டது.
  
  தற்போது சூர்யா, பிரியாமணி நடிக்கும் ரக்த சரித்திரா என்ற இந்தி - தெலுங்கு படம் சிக்கலில் மாட்டியுள்ளது. இதில் விவேக் ஓபராய் முக்கிய கேரக்டரில் நடிக்கிறார், பிரியாமணி கதாநாயகியாக நடிக்கிறார். ராம்கோ பால்வர்மா இயக்குகிறார். இப்படத்தை தமிழிலும் ரத்த சரித்திரம் என டப்பிங் செய்து வெளியிடுகின்றனர்.
  
  விவேக் ஓபராய் தடையை மீறி இலங்கை பட விழாவில் கலந்து கொண்டார். அவரது படங்களுக்கு 5 மாநிலங்களில் தடை விதிக்கப்பட்டு உள்ளது. தென்னிந்திய திரைப்பட அமைப்புகள் முடிவின்படி விவேக் ஓபராய் படத்தை தியேட்டர் அதிபர்கள் திரையிடமாட்டார்கள். ரக்த சரித்திரா படமும் இந்தத் தடையில் மாட்டியுள்ளது.
  
  இது பற்றி தயாரிப்பாளர் சங்க நிர்வாகி ஒருவர் கூறும்போது, "இலங்கை பட விழாவுக்கு சென்ற நடிகர், நடிகைகளுக்கு ஒத்துழைப்பு அளிப்பதில்லை என்ற தென்னிந்திய திரைப்பட அமைப்புகள் தீர்மானம் தொடர்கிறது. விழாவில் பங்கேற்ற விவேக் ஓபராய்க்கும் இது பொருந்தும். நடிகர் சூர்யா - ப்ரியா மணிக்காக எந்த தளர்வும் இதில் செய்ய முடியாது," என்று கூறினார்.

  No. I wished even Singam to flop but it doesnt seem like it has flopped.
  
  I dont like ARM that much(except for Ramana), and all that idhuvaraikku ulagamE pArkAdha movie kind of talks are irritating about ezhaam arivu. And deivakuzhandhai cannot act for nuts.
  
  Business Man - unlike Raktha Charitra, we have RGV talking crow here in generics without getting into specifically what is the movie about - and that is a sure fire formula for disaster if you have listened to him talk about James, Aag etc before the movies released.
  
  I really dont think these two movies will do anything for Surya - critically, certainly I expect a Ghajni like half-baked effort, and commercially, I dont know I am not the right person to predict but gut feel is failure.

  From rgv's blog
  
  Q) You being a religious agnostic, why did
  you use a list of slokas in ‘Rakta Charitra’
  trailor?
  
  
  Ans) Primarily because I like the sound of
  them. The words are not understandable
  so they give a feeling of intrigue and since
  they are religious, the chorus singers
  automatically sing with awe and purity
  which in turn will make the violence of
  ‘Rakta Charitra’ seem divine and
  respectful.

  Rakta Charitra Runs Into HRC Trouble
  The HRC has reportedly written to the censor board to complain against Rakta Charitra, saying that the film was glorifying violence.
  
  Months away from his next release, and the man is courting controversy already. The newly-released promos of Ram Gopal Varma's much-hyped venture Rakta Charitra consist of expectedly bload-soaked and brutal visuals, and have gotten the filmmaker into trouble with the Human Rights Commission (HRC).
  
  The HRC has reportedly written to the censor board to complain against Rakta Charitra, saying that the film was glorifying violence. Also, some of the movie's tag lines displayed as part of the promo quote the Mahabharata, inviting more ire from protesting voices, who are booing Varma's attempt to compare the story of factionists with the grand epic. There are also concerns about the movie maligning the image of Anantapur, where its story is set.
  
  The Human Rights Commission has asked for a response to be given by the 28th of May.
  
  Rakta Charitra is set to be an August release, and is a trilingual written and directed by Ram Gopal Varma. It is being made in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi. The story is said to portray the factionist tension between Paritala Ravi and Maddelacheruvu Suri. Vivek Oberoi is playing the role of the former, while Tamil superstar Surya is playing the role of the latter. Shatrughan Sinha plays the late NTR and Priyamani, Radhika Apte, Sudeep, Ashish Vidyarthi and Kota Srinivasa Rao are in other roles.
  
  With Rakta Charitra, Ram Gopal Varma continues his practice of borrowing edgy stories from real life. Company, for example, was loosely based on Dawood Ibrahim's underworld outfit, the D Company. For Rakta Charitra, Varma is known to have made visits to the families of the real-life protagonists of his script - including a visit to Maddelacheruvu Suri in jail.

  Suriya film in trouble
  
  The Tamil film federation is in no mood to budge. All the film bodies are firm to show their strength of unity unforeseen before. As announced before,
  
  FEFSI has started taking action against the Bollywood gang which ridiculed FEFSI dictates and participated in IIFA in Sri Lanka.
  
  As the first case Hrithik Roshan's ‘Kites’ was pulled out of the theatres and their anger is now brewing over ‘Raavan’ which has another defaulter Govinda playing an important role.
  
  Angered Tamil activists are also planning a ban of RGV’s ‘Raktha Charithra’ which has Vivek Oberoi. The also stars Suriya but the activists are not ready to forgive Vivek Oberoi who openly criticised the decision of FEFSI.Will ‘Raktha Charithra’ be saved at least for the sake of Suriya? As things stand now it is difficult to say.

  SURIYA IN TROUBLE, THANKS TO VIVEK OBERAI
  
  
  The Association of South Indian Movies has barred the Suriya – Priyamani starrer Raktha Charitra from being screened in 5 southern states.
  
  This move is taken as an action against Vivek Oberoi who attended the IIFA event held in Colombo. beroi:
  
  Earlier, the body has announced that action will be taken against the actors who participate in the IIFA event held in Colombo.
  
  The Hrithik starrer Kites is also taken off the movie halls following this since Hrithik also
  attended the IIFA. “We have decided to take action against actors who attended the IIFA and since Vivek plays an important role in Rakthacharithra the movie will not be allowed to screen in southern states.
  
  We cannot relax the rule for Suriya and Priyamani,” an official from the Association was quoted as saying.

  Suriya's Raktha charitra in trouble
  
  News date:9/6/10
  
  Ram Gopal Varma’s Raktha charithra featuring Vivek Oberoi and Suriya is in trouble.
  
  The South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce (SIFCC) had taken a decision to boycott films of Bollywood stars who went for IIFA awards in Colombo.Vivek Oberoi not only attended IIFA but is reported to have made some snide remarks about SIFCC ...
  
  This has upset SIFCC members who are now demanding a “total ban on the screening of Raktha Charithra in the four southern states of Andhra, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka.
  
  “It clearly means that part 1 of Raktha Charithra which has Vivek Oberoi and Suriya coming in the last five minutes, will be boycotted.But what will be more hurting to RGV is the part 2 ofRaktha Charithra, which has more of Suriya and less of Vivek and made in Tamil also faces the “unofficial ban”.

  Chiranjeevi's brother Pawan Kalyan
  With Revolver
  
  
  Srija's marriage issue has become a TV
  serial for the people of AP. Today, it's
  Pawan Kalyan's episode.
  
  He got down from Audi Car wearing white lungi, white lalchi
  and white shawl. In his hand he was holding a revolver. He called media prior
  to his arrival:
  Just see what he said: "I came here to
  surrender my revolver (holding revolver in
  hand and pointing it upwards). There are
  many things that police has to do. It's not
  required to call them for mere love
  matters. Srija ran away from our house.
  It's ok to run away. But the way she did
  has worried all of us. My brother's wife is
  now serious. Anytime she may be
  admitted in hospital. People call me
  'avesaparudu'. But I'm not.
  
  I just move by
  the corruption and lethargy in society and
  talk like that. I know about Srija's love
  issue 4 months back. I also know only
  then that they are running away. But I
  kept quiet (why should he keep quiet?). I
  don't know what would have happened
  had I stopped them. I can do anything to
  Sirish Bharadwaj. I have that 'satta'. But
  I'm not doing. There would be no threat
  from our family members to her. We are
  not that type of people. We don't have
  gundas with us. We have only fans who
  love us and our films. Srija said that there
  is life threat from our family while talking
  to media. That's wrong".
  
  
  He concluded saying, "This revolver is
  gifted to me by my brother. I'm a member
  in Chennai Shooting Club. I love shooting
  revolver. Now I don't feel the need for this.
  'Nenu praanalaki teginchaanu'. I lost fear
  of death. Hence I'm surrendering this
  revolver".
  
  
  What we have to conclude in this issue is
  that the police might have received a call
  from Srija again stating that there is life
  threat for her from Pawan Kalyan, in
  specific. Otherwise things wouldn't be like
  this. The police might have informed this
  to Pawan and he surrendered the weapon
  dramatically.
  
  
  We have seen Srija's marriage video first,
  then Allu Aravind's response one day, and
  then Chiranjeevi's response and today we
  have seen Pawan Kalyan's revolver
  episode. Only Allu Arjun, Nagababu and
  Ram Charan are remaining now. We have
  to see when they come out in this issue.

  Rakta Charitra for a whopping price
  
  Rakta Charitra, directed by Ram Gopal Varma which marks Suriya's debut in Hindi, is in the final stages of production.
  
  According to reliable sources, the rights for the bilingual in Hindi and Telugu, have been bought by Kalyan, president of South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce and also a popular Telugu producer/ distributor for a whopping, but undisclosed amount.

  Rakta may run into trouble
  
  June 12th, 2010
  
  The glitzy Iifa weekend held in Colombo this year is long forgotten. But Tamil Nadu is in no mood to forgive or forget. Film trade bodies are threatening to make good their warnings about actors who attended IIFA despite the boycott to protest atrocities against Tamilians. Close on the heels of the Kites controversy, where the Hrithik Roshan-starrer was pulled out of theatres in Chennai, allegedly due the actor’s participation in Iifa, comes yet another threat of boycott.
  
  This time, the film Rakta Charitra may be felled in the same swoop.
  
  The South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce (SIFCC) had earlier threatened to boycott the film of any star or producer who attended Iifa in Sri Lanka.
  
  But this notwithstanding, Viveik Oberoi, who plays Paritala Ravi in RGV’s magnum opus, attended IIFA along with Shatrughan Sinha, who’s also part of the film. And if sources in the industry are to be believed, it looks like the release of Rakta Charitra may run into rough weather.
  
  When contacted, Ramanarayanan, president of Tamil Film Producers Council, said, “We have left the decision to the South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce. Irrespective of the star, whoever disobeys the diktat of the trade bodies will be dealt with accordingly.”
  
  Anandha Suresh, secretary to the chamber, also refused to take a stand on the issue. “We still have time to decide since the movie is only in the post production stage. We will discuss the issue concerning Rakta Charitra and take a collective decision after consulting all the office bearers of various associations.”
  
  He goes on to add, “We did not stop Kites from running in the theatres here. According to sources, they have succumbed to some ‘outside’ pressure. In fact, I even wrote a letter to the producers of Kites informing them that chamber is in no way connected with the stalling of Kites in theatres across Tamil nadu.”
  
  Seconding Suresh, a producer and distributor on condition of anonymity said that the real reason for removing Kites from theatres was its poor show from day one. “the exhibitors and theatre owners were just waiting for an opportunity to pull out the film, and that’s when the IIFA controversy came as a perfect excuse.”
  
  Well, RGV can now only hope that his Suriya-starrer trilingual will have a bigger impact on SIFCC than Viveik Oberoi’s appearance at the IIFA did.

  Battling legal tangles
  
  RGV's Rakta Charitra in hot water
  
  Ram Gopal Varma has never faced a dearth of publicity for his films, and his most prestigious project based on the Anantapur faction feud is no exception. Rakta Charitra has landed him in yet another controversy. The film has Priyamani playing Maddelacheruvu Suri's wife and the latter's character is portrayed by Suriya. Paritala Ravindra's role is essayed by Vivek Oberoi. Rakta Charitra is about the rivalry between two families.
  
  O.Sudha Rani, whose father is a district judge has filed a case expressing apprehensions that a third party, i.e her family is being dragged and shown in poor light and the entire Anantpur district is being portrayed as a place ridden with violence. Already six legal notices have been filed and four appeals made at the State Human Right's Commission. TVK Reddy, Chief Examining Officer of the Censor Board of Film Certification says he has learnt about the issue as the Censor Board issues the permission to be executed and opines that he can elaborate on it only when the film is applied for certification or there is an injunction by the court.
  
  Paritala Sunitha, wife of the slain leader Paritala Ravindra is confident that Verma will project Ravi as the hero and no effort will be made to hurt the reputation of her husband. Will Rakta Charitra, which is already entangled in controversies, make life difficult for him or promise to get back the lost audience in Andhra Pradesh?...

  Vivek Oberoi not relenting
  
  IndiaGlitz [Monday, June 14, 2010]
  
  When the Tamil film industry and its
  highest body FEFSI requested the
  Bollywood compatriots not to go to Sri
  Lanka for the IIFA, all most all the super
  stars including Amitabh Bachchan,
  Abishek Bachan and all others who matters stayed
  away from the event.
  
  The SIFCC even passed a legislation to ban
  the artistes who go to Sri Lanka. But the
  event went ahead with mostly not so
  important stars. The popular ones who
  made it to IIFA throwing the request of SFCC
  and FEFSI were Hrithik Roshan, Salman Khan,
  Vivek Oberoi, Bipasha Basu and Sunil Shetty.
  
  After the event the SFCC and FEFSI
  immediately swung into action and pulled
  Hrithik’s ‘Kites’ out of theatres and slapped a
  ban on other stars and their films. Prabhu
  Deva and Saran dropped Salman Khan from
  their films and Ram Gopal Varma was asked
  to get rid of Vivek Oberoi from ‘Ratha
  Charithra’.
  
  But Vivek Oberoi is even more daring to
  challenge the decisions of the south Indian
  film industry. Vivek went outside IIFA and
  visited other places in Sri Lanka at the
  government’s invitation showing solidarity
  with the Sri Lankan government.
  
  Now going another step further Vivek
  Oberoi has attended a mass marriage
  ceremony as the guest of Mahinda
  Rajapaksa’s son and parliamentarian Namal
  Rajapaksa.
  
  The Sri Lankan government on Sunday
  conducted a mass marriage to 53 couples,
  who were said to be erstwhile Tamil rebels
  in a camp in Vavuniya. Vivek Oberoi
  attended the ceremony along with Namal
  Rajapaksa.

  'தமிழர் மனதைப் புண்படுத்தக் கூடாதே என்பதால் ஐஃபா விழாவுக்குப் போகவில்லை!' - மாதவன்
  திங்கள்கிழமை, ஜூன் 14, 2010, 16:24[IST]
  
  
  
  சென்னை: இலங்கையில் நடந்த சர்வதேச இந்திய திரைப்பட விழாவில் நான் நடித்த 3 இடியட்ஸ் படத்துக்கு ஏராளமான விருது கிடைத்தும் நான் அந்த விழாவுக்குப் போகவில்லை. தமிழர் மனதை புண்படுத்தக் கூடாது என்பதாலேயே நான் போகாமல் இருந்துவிட்டேன், என்கிறார் மாதவன்.
  
  இலங்கையில் சர்வதேச இந்திய திரைப்பட விழா சமீபத்தில் நடந்தது. இவ்விழாவில் நடிகர், நடிகைகள் கலந்து கொள்ள எதிர்ப்பு கிளம்பியது.
  
  தயாரிப்பாளர் சங்கம், பிலிம் சேம்பர் பெப்சி உள்ளிட்ட தென்னிந்திய திரைப்பட அமைப்புகள் இலங்கை பட விழாவுக்கு நடிகர், நடிகைகள் போகக் கூடாது என்றும் மீறி கலந்து கொள்வோருக்கு ஒத்துழைப்பு அளிக்கமாட்டோம் என்றும், எச்சரிக்கை விடுத்தன. அமிதாப்பச்சன், கமல் வீடுகள் முன்பு ஆர்ப்பாட்டமும் நடந்தன.
  
  முன்னணி நடிகர், நடிகைகளும் இவ்விழாவுக்கு செல்லாமல் புறக்கணித்தனர். ரஜினி, கமல், அமிதாப்பச்சன், ஐஸ்வர்யாராய், ஷாருக்கான் உள்பட பலர் விழாவுக்கு செல்லவில்லை. தடையை மீறி கலந்து கொண்ட ஹிருத்திக்ரோஷனின் 'கைட்ஸ்' படம் சென்னை தியேட்டர்களில் இருந்து தூக்கப்பட்டது.
  
  விவேக் ஒபராய் எச்சரிக்கையை மீறி இலங்கை படவிழாவில் பங்கேற்றார். எனவே சூர்யாவுடன் அவர் இணைந்து நடித்து வரும் ரத்த சரித்திரம் படம் தமிழில் வெளியாவது கேள்விக்குறியாகியுள்ளது.
  
  மாதவன் நடித்த 3 இடியட்ஸ் படம் இலங்கை பட விழாவில் 16 விருதுகளைப் பெற்றது. ஆனாலும் மாதவன் விழாவில் கலந்து கொள்ளவில்லை.
  
  இது குறித்து அவர் கூறுகையில், "இலங்கை பட விழாவில் பங்கேற்க வேண்டாம் என்று என் இணையதள முகவரிக்கு ஏராளமான கடிதங்கள் வந்தன. நான் அரசியலுக்குள் போக விரும்பவில்லை.நான் அரசியல்வாதியும் அல்ல. ஏற்கனவே விடுதலைப் புலிகளை மையமாக வைத்து கன்னத்தில் முத்தமிட்டால் என்ற படம் வந்தது. மணிரத்னம் மீதுள்ள பிரியத்தால் அப்படத்தில் நான் நடித்தேன்.
  
  தற்போது தமிழ் ரசிகர்கள் மனதை புண்படுத்தக் கூடாது என்பதற்காக இலங்கை பட விழாவில் பங்கேற்காமல் புறக்கணித்தேன்...," என்றார்.

  இலங்கைத் தமிழர் பிரச்னையில் நடிகர் சூர்யாவின் படமும் சிக்கும் ஆபத்தில் இருக்கிறது. அதற்கான சமரச முயற்சிகள் தீவிரமாக நடந்து வருவதாக தகவல்கள் கசியத் தொடங்கியுள்ளன.
  
  இன்டர்நேஷனல் இந்தியன் திரைப்பட அகாதெமி (ஐஃபா) மற்றும் ஃபெடரேஷன் இந்தியன் சேம்பர்ஸ் ஆஃப் காமர்ஸ் அண்ட் இன்டஸ்ட்ரீஸ் (ஃபிக்கி) இணைந்து கொழும்புவில் கடந்த வாரம் திரைப்பட விருது வழங்கும் விழாவை நடத்தின. தமிழ்த் திரைப்படத் துறையினரின் கோரிக்கையை ஏற்று, தென்னிந்திய நடிகர்கள் அந்த விழாவைப் புறக்கணித்தனர். மும்பையில் வாழும் தமிழர்கள் இந்தி நடிகர்களின் வீடுகள் முன்பு ஆர்ப்பாட்டம் நடத்தினார்கள். இதைத் தொடர்ந்து நடிகர் அமிதாப், ரஜினியைத் தொடர்புகொண்டு, ‘இலங்கை செல்லலாமா? வேண்டாமா?’ என்று கேட்க, ரஜினியோ ‘தமிழர்கள் உங்கள் மீது மதிப்பும் மரியாதையும் வைத்திருக்கிறார்கள். அதைக் காப்பாற்றிக் கொள்ளுங்கள்’ என்று சொல்லியுள்ளார். இதைத் தொடர்ந்து அமிதாப் குடும்பமே படவிழாவைப் புறக்கணித்துவிட்டது. மேலும் சில இந்தி நடிகர்களும் புறக்கணித்தனர். இதை மீறி விழாவில் கலந்துகொண்ட இந்தி நடிகர்களின் படங்களை தமிழகத்தில் திரையிட அனுமதிக்க மாட்டோம் என்று தென்னிந்திய திரைப்பட வர்த்தக சபை அறிவித்தது.
  
  முன்னதாக, பாலிவுட் இயக்குநர் ராம்கோபால் வர்மாவின் ‘ரத்த சரித்திரம்’ படத்தில் சூர்யா நடித்து வருகிறார். இந்தப் படத்துக்கான இறுதிக்கட்ட பணிகள் வேகமாக நடந்து வருகிறது. அடுத்த மாதம் படம் ரிலீஸாகும் என்று எதிர்பார்க்கப்படுகிறது. இந்தப் படத்தில் நடித்து வரும் இந்தி நடிகர் விவேக் ஓபராய், கொழும்பு விழாவில் பங்கேற்றார். இதனால் அந்தப் படத்தை தமிழகத்தில் திரையிடக் கூடாது என்று தமிழகத்தில் சிலர் குரல் எழுப்பத் தொடங்கியுள்ளனர்.
  
  இதனால் அதிர்ச்சியான சூர்யா தரப்பு சமரசம் செய்ய தீவிரமாக இருக்கிறது. சூர்யா கெஸ்ட் ரோலில் நடித்து வரும் பட இயக்குநர் ஒருவர், நாம் தமிழர் இயக்கத் தலைவரும் இயக்குநருமான சீமானுக்கு மிகவும் நெருங்கிய நண்பர். எனவே, அவரிடம் ‘இந்தப் படத்துக்கு எந்தச் சிக்கலும் வராமல் பார்த்துக்கொள்ள நீங்கள்தான் உதவ வேண்டும்’ என்று கோரிக்கை வைத்துள்ளனர். அவரும் நட்புக்காக தன்னுடைய படத்தில் சூர்யா நடிப்பதால், சீமானைச் சந்தித்துப் பேசியிருக்கிறார். இதில் சமரசம் ஏற்பட்டதாகத் தெரிகிறது.
  
  இதுகுறித்து ‘நாம் தமிழர்’ இயக்கத் தலைவர் சீமானிடம் கேட்டோம். ‘‘நாம் தமிழர், தமிழருக்கான இயக்கம். ஏழைக் குழந்தைகளுக்கு இலவசக் கல்வி அளிக்கும் தம்பி சூர்யாவின் தமிழுணர்வை எந்த வகையிலும் குறைத்து மதிப்பிட முடியாது. கொழும்பு விழாவுக்கு முன்பே தொடங்கப்பட்ட படம், ‘ரத்த சரித்திரம்’. விவேக் ஓபராய்க்காக அந்தப் படத்தை எதிர்த்தால், அது என் தம்பி சூர்யாவுக்கு எதிரான போராட்டமாகிவிடும். சூர்யாவுக்காக விவேக் ஓபராயை இந்தமுறை மன்னித்து அனுமதிக்கிறோம். அதே நேரத்தில் இனிமேல் விவேக் ஓபராய் நடிக்கும் எந்தப் படத்தையும் தமிழகத்தில் திரையிட அனுமதிக்க மாட்டோம்’’ என்றார்.
  
  தென்னிந்திய திரைப்பட வர்த்தக சபைத் தலைவர் சுரேஷிடம் பேசினோம். ‘‘அந்தப் படத்தின் ஷூட்டிங் நடந்துகொண்டிருக்கிறது. படம் ரிலீஸாகும் போதுதான் அதில் முக்கிய வேடத்தில் நடிப்பது யார் என்று தெரியவரும். அப்போது விவாதித்து என்ன செய்யலாம் என்று முடிவெடுப்போம்’’ என்றார்.
  
  சினிமா துறையினர் அடுத்த பரபரப்புக்குத் தயாராகி வருகிறார்கள்.

  Somewhere earleir in the thread, I vaguely remember reading that the SIFCC chairman or someone has bought the rights for Telugu version. Is that true? Is that this Suresh? So, what went on the background with this guy to get special pardon for this movie alone?

  The point is not that RC should be banned - the point is the mask behind those who act militant but will relax rules for their friends and thambis.

  மீண்டும் உருவாகும் ரத்த சரித்திரம்
  Friday, 18 June 2010.
  
  ராம்கோபால் வர்மாவின் ரத்த சரித்திரத்தில் சூர்யா, ப்ரியாமணி நடித்துள்ளனர். தமிழர்களின் உணர்வுகளுக்கு மதிப்பளிக்காத விவேக் ஓபராயும் இந்தப் படத்தில் நடித்துள்ளார். இந்த கறுப்பு ஆடு காரணமாக ரத்த சரித்திரத்தை தமிழகம் மட்டுமின்றி மேலும் நான்கு மாநிலங்களில் வெளியிட இயலுமா என்ற சந்தேகம் வலுத்துள்ளது. சூர்யாவுக்காக விவேக் ஓபராய் இடம்பெற்ற ஒரு படத்தை திரையிட அனுமதிக்க முடியாது என்று சங்கங்கள் திட்டவட்டமாக கூறிவிட்டன. இந்நிலையில் படத்தின் சில காட்சிகளை ரீ ஷூட் செய்ய தீர்மானித்துள்ளார் வர்மா. இதற்காக 15 நாட்கள் கூடுதல் கால்ஷீட் கொடுத்துள்ளார் சூர்யா. என்ன கொடுத்தாலும் படம் பார்வையாளர்களின் பார்வைக்கு வருமா என்பதுதான் சந்தேகம். ரிலீஸே ரத்த சரித்திரம் படைக்கும் போல....

  Excerpts from an interview given by surya to TIMES OF INDIA dated 23/06/2010
  
  Workwise, he’s currently busy with Rakta Charitra (RC), a real-life story based on Paritala Ravi, a gangster in Andhra Pradesh in the early ’80s. “I play Maddelacheruvu Suri, an intense character, and a rival of Vivek Oberoi, who essays the role of Paritala Ravi. Suri is the only one in the story who’s still alive. I haven’t met him yet, but I’ve tried to model my body language based on the narrative given by director Ram Gopal Varma,” explains Suriya.
  
  Rakta Charitra, a bilingual, will also mark his debut in Bollywood. “Well, you can’t technically call it that because I didn’t take up RC with an intention to enter Bollywood. It’s just that when Ramu sir told me about the script, I was very impressed. The movie is so intense and has no heroine, songs or dances. So, Ramu sir calls it a men’s film. And for both Ramu sir and me, the film has come at an important stage in our careers — RGV has the experience to direct such an intense film after so many milestones and I can afford to experiment with such a character,” says Suriya.
  
  As for entering Bollywood with this bilingual, he chooses to call it the next step in his journey. “It’s about widening my reach and taking up the challenge to appeal to a pan-Indian audience. It’s a completely different set-up and ambience. But I won’t leave Tamil cinema. Even when I accept a Hindi film, I’ll ensure it’s watchable for my fans in the south as well,” states Suriya.
  
  And he’s appreciative of projects that provide a platform for both B-town and southern actors to share the same frame. “Such films bridge the gap between north and south Indian films. Actors whom you’d see only in Hindi films are that much closer to you. It’s better than watching dubbed versions,” he says.
  
  Suriya had earlier told us that his daughter Diya’s Hindi is better than his. How’s it now? “It’s improved. I understand Hindi better now, and can even read and write it. I have a tutor from Madurai to coach me. I’m not sure of dubbing for RC because I don’t want the audiences’ attention to be diverted by my accent. It all depends on what Ramu sir wants,” says Suriya.

  ஐஃபா விழா போராட்டம் செத்துப்போன ஒன்று... என் படத்துக்கு தடை விதிக்க முடியாது! - சூர்யா
  வியாழக்கிழமை, ஜூன் 24, 2010
  
  
  சென்னை: இலங்கையில் நடந்த சர்வதேச இந்திய திரைப்பட விழாவுக்கு எதிரான போராட்டம் செத்துப்போன விவகாரம். அதை மீண்டும் கிளறத் தேவையில்லை. இதன் அடிப்படையில், நானும் விவேக் ஓபராயும் நடித்துள்ள படத்துக்கு தடை விதிக்க முடியாது..", என்று கூறியுள்ளார் நடிகர் சூர்யா.
  
  இன்று வியாழக்கிழமை 'பெங்களூர் மிர்ரர்' நாளிதழுக்கு சூர்யா அளித்துள்ள பேட்டி:
  
  "தடையை மீறி கொழும்பில் நடந்த ஐஃபா விழாவில் பங்கேற்ற விவேக் ஓபராயுடன் நீங்கள் நடித்துள்ள ரத்த சரித்திரா படம் வெளியாவதில் சிக்கல் ஏற்பட்டுள்ளதே?"
  
  "ஐஃபா விழா விவகாரமே செத்துப் போன ஒன்று. அதை இனியும் இங்கே பேசிக் கொண்டிருக்கக் கூடாது. அது ஒரு சின்ன விஷயம். அதைப் போய் இன்னும் பெரிதாக்கிக் கொண்டிருக்கிறீர்களே… என்னுடைய ரத்த சரித்திரா வெளியீட்டை அந்த விழா தொடர்பாக விதிக்கப்பட்ட தடைகள் ஒன்றும் செய்து விடாது. சமீபத்தில் ராவணன் ரிலீஸானபோதுகூட யாரும் ஒன்றும் சொல்லவில்லையே (ராவணனுக்கு எதற்காக தடை விதிக்க வேண்டும்?).
  
  ரத்த சரித்திரம் படப்பிடிப்பின்போது நான் விவேக் ஓபராயோடு பேசினேன். அப்போது யுனிசெப் மற்றும் அந்நாட்டின் உள்ளூர் தமிழர்களுடன் இணைந்து புதிய பள்ளி ஒன்றை அமைத்திருப்பதாகச் சொன்னார். இந்த விஷயத்தில் அவர் என்ன உதவி கேட்டாலும் செய்ய நான் தயாராக உள்ளேன். அவருடன் சேர்ந்து அந்தப் பணியைச் செய்ய விரும்புகிறேன்.
  
  நடிகர்கள் இலங்கை சென்றது வெறும் கேளிக்கைக்காக அல்ல. அங்குள்ள மக்களுக்கு உதவத்தான். இந்தப் பிரச்சினை அன்றோடு முடிந்துவிட்டது. திரும்பத் திரும்ப அதை கிளறுவது ஏன்?" என்று கேட்டுள்ளார் சூர்யா.
  
  கொழும்பில் நடந்த சர்வதேச இந்திய திரை விழாவை தென்னகத் திரையுலகமே புறக்கணித்தது. வட இந்தியாவின் அமிதாப் பச்சன், அபிஷேக் பச்சன், ஷாரூக்கான், அமீர்கான், ஐஸ்வர்யா ராய், ஜான் ஆபிரகாம், அக்ஷய் குமார் என முன்னணி நட்சத்திரங்கள் தமிழ் உணர்வாளர்களின் வேண்டுகோளை ஏற்று இலங்கை போகாமல் தவிர்த்தனர். இதையும் மீறி சில நடிகர்கள் போனார்கள். அவர்களின் படங்கள் இனி தென்னிந்தியாவின் 5 மாநிலங்களில் திரையிடப்பட மாட்டாது என்று தென்னிந்திய திரைப்பட கூட்டமைப்பு அறிவித்தது.
  
  விழாவும் படுதோல்வியடைந்தது. இன்னொரு பக்கம் தடையை மீறி ஐஃபா விழாவுக்குப் போன விவேக் ஓபராய், சல்மான்கான், ஹ்ரித்திக் ரோஷன் படங்கள் தென்னகத்தில் வெளியாகத் தடை விதிக்கப்பட்டது.
  
  இந்த நிலையில், சூர்யா நடித்து அடுத்து வெளியாக உள்ள ரத்த சரித்திரம் தமிழ், இந்திப் படங்களில் சூர்யாவுடன் விவேக் ஓபராய் இன்னொரு நாயகனாக நடித்துள்ளார். இந்தப் படத்தை வெளியிடக் கூடாது என தமிழ் உணர்வாளர்கள் எதிர்ப்புக் குரல் கொடுத்து வருகின்றனர்.
  
  ஐஃபா விழாவை எதிர்த்து மும்பையில் ஆர்ப்பாட்டங்களில் இறங்கி அமிதாப் போன்றவர்களை விழாவுக்குச் செல்லாமல் தடுத்த சீமானின் நாம் தமிழர் கட்சி, ரத்த சரித்திரம் ரிலீஸ் விஷயத்தில் மட்டும் அடக்கி வாசிக்கிறது.
  
  'சூர்யா என் தம்பி. அவரது படத்தை மட்டும் மன்னிக்கலாம்' என்று பல்டியடித்துள்ளார் சீமான். ஆனால் உண்மையில் சூர்யாவும் அவரது தந்தை சிவகுமாரும் சீமானை சமாதானப்படுத்தி விட்டதாகக் கூறப்படுகிறது.
  
  சீமானின் இந்த கொள்கை நழுவலுக்கு உணர்வாளர்கள் மத்தியில் கடும் கண்டனம் எழுந்துள்ளது.
  
  இந்த நேரத்தில்தான், கடந்த 2 மாத காலமாக தென்னிந்திய திரையுலகமே நடத்தி வரும் ஐஃபா விழா எதிர்ப்பு போராட்டத்தை 'செத்துப்போன விவகாரம்' என சர்வ சாதாரணமாக கூறியுள்ளார் சூர்யா.
  
  நடிகர்கள் இலங்கைக்குப் போனது நல்ல விஷயம் என்று இப்போது கூறும் இவர், இரு வாரங்களுக்கு முன் இந்த போராட்டம் உச்சத்திலிருந்த போது போராட்டத்தை ஆதரிப்பதாகக் கூறியது நினைவிருக்கலாம்.

  Suriya joins the millionaires’ club
  
  Sreedhar Pillai, TNN, Jun 28, 2010, 12.00am IST
  
  Suriya has joined the lucrative Tamil cinema’s overseas millionaires’ club. Yes, the overseas rights of his film Ratha Sarithiram, directed by Ram Gopal Varma, has been sold for a record Rs 4.5 crore (over US $1 million)!
  
  Suriya joins the illustrious ‘million dollar club of Tamil superstars’ which includes Rajinikanth ($2.5 million), Kamal Haasan ($1.5 million) and Vijay ($ 1 million).
  
  One of the producers of the film, Madhu Mantena, says, “Yes, we sold the overseas rights for over $1 million to a Malaysia-based company. It is the highest-ever overseas price paid for a Suriya film. The film is being simultaneously made in three languages — Hindi, Telugu and Tamil. However, this sale is purely for the Tamil film’s international rights.”
  
  On Suriya, Mantena, who also co-produced Ghajini in Hindi, says, “Ramu says that Suriya’s eyes are deadly and there is something about him that will attract the Bollywood audiences. Mark my words, Suriya is going to click in Bollywood, and perhaps, will become the first actor from the south to make a successful crossover.”
  
  The rights have been procured by the Malaysian company after they saw some action sequences and Suriya’s performance in the film at RGV’s office in Mumbai. “We are simply awestruck by what we saw; the power-packed action scenes are stunning. Suriya has never been seen like this before and this film is surely going to create havoc at the box office!” says a visibly excited Anand Sivam, head of the company which purchased the overseas rights.
  
  Meanwhile, the overseas market of Tamil films is booming, as the worldwide Tamil diaspora, especially Sri Lankan Tamils, are crazy about Tamil superstars. Today, for a Tamil superstar, his huge salary depends purely on the reach he has in the overseas market. If the star is only popular in Tamil Nadu, he is not considered to be a part of the superstar league!
  
  Suriya is fast emerging as a phenomenon in the international market. His recent Singam—a huge hit in the overseas market— figured in the top 15 in the UK box office. Ratha Sarithiram will be released in Tamil as one of Suriya’s largest releases ever. In fact, the Mumbai trade is saying that RGV and Madhu Mantena will make more money out of the Tamil version than the Hindi and Telugu versions put together!

  Suriya goes to bollywood
  
  BVS PRAKASH Times News Network, Jul 1, 2010, 12.00am IST
  
  This could be the season of migration by the looks of it. After Vikram, Priyamani and Trisha, it’s going to be southern heartthrob and six-packer Suriya’s turn to woo Bollywood.
  
  The K-town hero takes his first B-town bow as a social deviant in Ram Gopal Varma’s multi-lingual Raktha Charitra.
  
  “I loved essaying the challenging role,” asserts Suriya. This is also the first time Suriya’s portraying a role inspired by a real-life character. “That’s true. But, I haven’t done any homework like going through his pictures. I just followed RGV’s vision and tried to breathe life into the well-crafted role,” he elaborates.
  
  Now, that’s what we call a director’s actor !

  http://rgvzoomin.com/absolute-truth/
  
  

  When people keep asking me about how much truth there will be in ‘RAKTA CHARITRA’ I keep answering them that it will be an absolutely truthful depiction of the original story but it will be only an absolute truth as in of what I believe to be the absolute truth of the story but what I myself believe to be the absolute truth is not necessarily the absolute true story. But who can vouch with absolute truth that what I am saying is not the absolute truth.
  
  The reason why I am saying this is because I was not personally present physically at the time and place when those incidents happened, to claim it as absolute truth. Also most of the people who took part in those incidents have died or have been killed. The few remaining talked to me in extensive detail, but I can’t guarantee that they were telling me the absolute truth. Likewise I can’t guarantee you, that I am telling the absolute truth to you just by saying that they told me the absolute truth.
  
  Also it’s impossible to find out the absolute truth behind the incidents which happened over such a long period of time.
  
  But after hearing the various versions from the alleged killers, from closely related people of the victims, from people who were present when the orders for the killings were given, from accounts of the investigating police officers, from political leaders who were in the background supporting the said incidents and people, I have arrived conclusively at my own absolute truths and my absolute truths cannot be disputed by even the people who were involved as each of them in their own individual capacity know only a part of the whole truth and that too subjectively from their own perspective whereas I studied it objectively without being personally biased.
  
  But having said all this I still can’t guarantee that what I am saying is the absolute truth. Also as a Director my zest is not really about showing the absolute truth. Neither “Rakta Charitra’s” objective is about putting the absolute truth out. The absolute truth is important only for the Judiciary and the Police.
  
  My objective as a Director is to mirror the emotions, the mindsets and the extra ordinary situations created by those extreme people. But no matter how much I try, it will still be just a hazy reflection of the absolute truth and can never be the absolute truth.
  
  Also you have to take into account the fact that when you condense a story which happened over years and years into about 4 and odd hours you have no choice but to infuse fiction into true incidents so as to just that much more effectively flow an emotion across. And you have to minus character traits from and add characteristic traits to some characters so as to make the audience understand the spirit and the soul of the characters more than trying to depict those characters in real time. But the bottomline is this that my intention of why I wanted to make “Rakta Charitra” is to depict the absolute truth and nothing but the absolute truth. But for this I made use of a lot of fiction to make the truth look absolute.
  
  My final say is this that “Rakta Charitra” is a highly fictional absolute truth.

  His blog is really a fascinating bare-all - Although his confessions that he has emotionally, and otherwise, manipulated most of his acquaintances to pretty much implement his agenda with every single person he has interacted with - like, how he managed to get Annapoorna to produce Shiva(it is almost similar to the joke about a guy getting his son married to Bill Gates' daugther and simultaneously making him World Bank chairman by playing a set of lies to each(including the son!)) etc, one would tend to be wary of believing everything he says.
  
  As I said before, a fascinating mind, at the least.
  
  That movies like Shiva hold up even after reading him explaining the intentions behind the story, the screenplay, the frames is a wonderful testament to the goodness of the movie. As intentional fallacists would agree, such bare-alls can completely destroy the movie for an enthusiast.

  Shiva stays cogent to visual medium and respects it. His latest movies like Rann, Agayat, etc are exploitative, abusive of his visual strengths, and exercises for sake of it, I feel. Strangely some of the complains of Raavan to me seemed uncalled, as I think Mani isn't like RGV, even in the spinning parisal scene. I'm one of those who thought both Sarkars create superb visual atmosphere in the films, although unsubtle and lot of it overdone (at times unbearable because of the soundtrack). And of course, I think his closeup fixation and controlled lighting aside, his visual techniques are all like random numbers from book cricket and isn't necessarily married to themes (like in case of Mani to Kashyap to Dibakar). That's the major failing of his. Films like Shiva do provide a wonderful visual 'kinetic' that makes one to look past the showboating, and seemed to fit nicely with the college set-up. Satya and Company also worked in this regard. Kshana kshanam is of course an ode to Sridevi, but also a very controlled film. I wish he worked more with Ilaiyaraja and Keeravani. Or Rahman, who elevated Rangeela to something more. Gayam was alright too. Nishabd isn't half as bad as it's made out to be. The bleakish tone with fine acting (annoyingly intoreable Jiah Khan aside) create the effect the sensitive topic needed, although 'subtlety' isn't his & more of Amitabh's underplayed performance. The BGM wasn't that loud here. So it's been a mixed and rushed effect that RGV has had. Somehow one gets the feeling RC will get him back to (his) groove..

  Cloud 9 to rescue ‘Raththa Charithram'
  
  IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, July 21, 2010]
  
  Suriya's movie 'Raththa Charithram' was surrounded by controversies right from the day its trailer was released. At first there were objections to the film saying it glorifies violence and shows a lot of blood spilling.
  
  Later a more serious controversy hit the film with one of the film's heroes Vivek Oberoi visiting Sri Lanka and taking the side of the government which is accused of genocide by international Tamil community.
  
  Then the Tamil activists from all over the world have sworn not to allow the film to release. With all the drama the release of the film was hung in balance and the opposition to its release was growing.
  
  Now suddenly things have changed with ‘Raththa Charithram’ being acquired by the powerful Cloud Nine Movies. Sources say Suriya had the Tamil rights of the film in lieu of his remuneration. And when he started feeling the heat of protests he cleverly handed over the film to Cloud Nine Movies. It is felt now that the influential Cloud Nine Movies will see through the smooth release of ‘Raththa Charithiram’.

  SURIYA'S TRYST WITH DAYANIDHI AZHAGIRI
  
  Raktha Charithra is one of the most awaited movies of the year. Directed by Ram Gopal Varma and starring Suriya and Vivek Oberoi, this movie is to be released in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil simultaneously. Kollywood was abuzz with rumours about who will release the movie in Tamil Nadu.
  
  Putting an end to all speculations, we have information from confirmed sources that the release rights of this movie in Tamil Nadu is with Dayanidhi Azhagiri's Cloud Nine movies. This is reason good enough for Cloud nine movies to be on Cloud nine.

  Show ‘Raktha Charithra’ first to me
  
  IndiaGlitz [Monday, July 26, 2010]
  
  Paritala Sunitha, wife of assassinated MLA Paritala Ravi has asked the makers of ‘Raktha Charitra’ to show the movie to her first.Sunitha wants to know if her husband is being shown in the wrong light or in any negative manner. She says that she wants to know how genuine the movie has shaped up as director Ram Gopal Varma has openly admitted that the movie is a direct adaptation of Paritala Ravi and Suri’s feud on screen.
  
  She doesn’t want any misleading facts in the movie and she will clarify any issues herself when she sees the movie first.Sunitha also warned that if she is not shown the movie, she will move the makers of ‘Raktha Charithra’ to the court.
  
  When Ram Gopal Varma thought of making the political rivalry on screen, he had taken the assistance of Sunitha in learning facts about the rivalry. Sunitha in fact guided RGV during the pre-production stages. One wonders if RGV’s movies will ever release without facing controversies?

  Suriya impresses Amitabh
  
  South actor Suriya, who is all set to make his Hindi film debut in Ram Gopal Varma's 'Rakta Charitra', is smiling already. Reason? He has reieved words of praise from none other than Amitabh Bachchan.
  
  It so happened that Amitabh went to visit Ram Gopal Varma recently, and was shown rushes of 'Rakta Charitra'. He was very impressed by Suriya's work, and SMSed him immediately. Suriya, of course, was more than thrilled that someone of Bachchan's stature had messaged him.
  
  "I was on top of the world. Of course, Mr. Bachchan saw a few rushes, I'm keen that he watches the whole film, and I hope I live up to his expectations," said Suriya. 'Rakta Charitra' will be released in three languages - Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. The movie also stars Vivek Oberoi and the beautiful Priyamani.
  
  This one is surely one to watch out for.

  Big B’s congrats for Suriya
  
  Wednesday July 28, 2010
  
  Much before Suriya’s ‘Raktha Charithra’ would hit screens, the actor has gained immense popularity amongst B-town celebrities. The hotties and hunks of Bollywood have already expressed their views that he has a great way ahead in Hindi Film Industry. Recently, Bollywood’s superstar Amitabh Bachchan happened to watch some of the clippings from RGV’s ‘Raktha Charithra’.
  
  Soon after the screening, Big B uttered that Suriya could be the only actor, who is more apt for this role and has done a remarkable job. Instantaneously, Big B sent an SMS to Suriya about his spellbinding show. Well for Suriya, it’s an additional support for his debut show, which is slated to hit screens in August.

  Suriya's 'Ratha Charithram’ for Diwali???
  
  Thursday July 29, 2010
  
  Suriya’s ticket to Bollywood may have its reach few months later from the time it was expected. Ram Gopal Varma during his media interaction in Chennai assured that the film will hit screens along with ‘Raktha Charithra – 2’ (Hindi and Telugu) by August.
  
  Unfortunately, the release date of ‘RC-1’ has been postponed to September 17. Just as the producers had planned to release the second part at least after 3-4 weeks of time, it may gradually delay the release of Tamil version, which has Suriya in lead role.
  
  The reason why the makers wanted to avoid first part in Tamil was due to the star-casts so uncommon and unfamiliar to Tamil film buffs in Chennai. Now, it’s slightly implying that the Tamil version’s release may extend up to last week of October or precisely for Diwali, which means November 5. Anyways, there haven’t been official confirmations from any ends and keep logging into this column for more updates.

  Is Suriya’s ‘Raktha Charithram’ postponed for Diwali ?
  
  July 29th, 2010
  
  Lucky superstar Suriya is running fast ahead on the race as all his films have done remarkable business at box office. Now the actor has couple of multilingual films that are quite revealing of successful notes. The reason is that uniqueness of directors and technicians team he is teaming up with.Doubtlessly, the actor’s upcoming film Raktha Charithram is completed and the post productions are also completed.
  
  Since, Ram Gopal Varma and the producers are planning to release the film’s first part during the second week of September, it is indirectly signifying that the second part may go furthermore postponed to October or November. Meanwhile rumors are that the film’s release maybe scheduled for Diwali.

  RGV lashes out at A.R.Rahman
  
  Baiju NT [July 30, 2010, 1:31:49 PM]
  
  Ace Bollywood director-screenwriter-producer Ram Gopal Varma, known for his films across multiple genres -- psychological thrillers, underworld gang warfare, politician-criminal nexus and musicals -- lashed out at reigning music directors, including Oscar award winner A.R. Rahman, saying that they buried the music in South India.
  
  Reportedly, the moviemaker was responding to upcoming actor RaNa’s comment about Ilayaraja’s soulful music in Chinarayudu. According to a leading website, Ram Gopal Varma commented that A.R. Rahman, Keeravani, Mani Sharma and Devi Sri Prasad had together killed music in films.
  
  Interestingly, it was RGV who introduced Rahman to Hindi audiences with Rangeela; he also introduced Mani Sharma in Telugu but the film was shelved midway. RGV also said that unlike Ilayaraja, these music composers brought importance to sound rather than music. Anyway, it is yet to be seen how the entire film industry*reacts to RGV’s rude remarks.

From the inception of the idea of wanting to make ‘Rakht Charitra’ till the point of me taking the last shot was an incredible journey for both my mind the way it started perceiving and understanding the research material and then also how it studied the minds of the various involved parties. So a constant analysis and thereby a due course of me being psyched up by what kind of conclusive truths I have reached in various mental states of mine resulted in a situation that by the time I reached the last shot it made me truly believe that what I shot in Cinema is real and what happened in real was Cinema.
  
  The characters who inspired me got mixed up with the characters I created and the same goes to the incidents. Yes it’s true that my attempt was to stay close to the truth to the best of my limits and knowledge but like I said earlier, it’s truth as I know it and believe it but it’s not necessarily the absolute truth.
  
  But what’s even more strange is that even the people involved in the actual incidents were confused when they saw some scenes as to what is true and what is not. The reason for that is because they have seen the incident in person but never from a certain other person’s point of view.
  
  So even though they knew the truth of what is being depicted in the film, now after seeing the film they came to know with much more clarity why certain things happened and how they happened which they probably never understood in their entirety at the time those incidents actually happened.
  
  Coming back to the last shot, never in my career I felt such an exhilaration and a strange sense of a mixture of both a release and a relief through any film I have done so far in my career. It’s not so much for the film but for the fact that I travelled all this time with each of all the various characters of ‘Rakht Charitra’ and their emotions and now I feel that with the last shot I have reached them to their destinations or atleast to their destinations as conceived and perceived by me.
  
  More than the audience I am actually dying to see, know and feel the reactions of the real people from whom its characters are inspired from. I feel this attempt of mine will be hugely worth while if they even think, feel, realize, and learn a little something from ‘Rakta Charitra’ about themselves and more importantly about their adversaries.

The film is made simultaneously in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. It is said that the director is planning to make both Telugu and Hindi versions in two parts, while the Tamil version will be in one part only.
  
  The film depicts the life of the slain political leader Paritala Ravindra, played by Vivek Oberoi, with Surya enacting the role of Maddelacheruvu Suri, Shatrughan Sinha playing N.T. Rama Rao, along with Kota Srinivasa Rao and Radhika Apte in other pivotal roles. The film is expected to hit screens in September.

  The Suriya-starrer Raktha Charithra has reportedly made the Telugu superstar and Praja Rajyam Party leader Chiranjeevi angry. Apparently, a photo, which shows the protagonist in the film tonsuring the head of someone, released by the film’s director Ram Gopal Varma in a microblogging web site, has irked Chiru and his brother Pawan Kalyan.
  
  It is well-known that RC is based on the life of late politician Paritala Ravi and his arch rival Maddelacheruvu Suri, who is serving a sentence in jail. Fans of Pawan and Chiru feel that RGV had deliberately included a scene where the protagonist tonsures the head, is based on the alleged real-life incident, in which Pawan’s head was tonsured due to a land dealing gone wrong.
  
  While Pawan has not commented on this till date, RGV has said tonsuring the head is the most common form of insult and including it in his movie is not wrong.

  Just got back from the first look release of the theatrical trailer of RAKTHA CHARITRA … felt soooo good to see the awesome reactions of the press …fingers crossed!!! It was a treat to watch RGV in his element… for someone who makes such powerful
  intense films-he has such a fantastic sense of humour ! Loved listening to all his answers to the press …absolute entertainer!
  
  Chilled with my 'anna' Suriya and had such a beautiful heartfelt chat with him …he is such a good husband and a fantastic father …I'm glad to have a friend like him. Priyamani and her mother were there too extremely talented actress …loved her
  performance in RC2.
  
  I play the role of Pratap Ravi in the film. This role, this character is truly something else!!! It's been an immense joy and privilege to be part of such an amazing film. In my 8 years of acting, I've never played a role like this.
  
  Several firsts for me …playing the role of a strong political leader, growing a moustache, learning Telugu and delivering lines live in two languages other than Hindi simultaneously! All in all, this role is one of
  my favourites and I hope you all will enjoy
  the film this October.

  Been singing about his 'presence' from the first promo stills and how perfect object for RGV's closeup fixation and fetishistic lighting that frames the actor so perfectly. I love Surya's gaze, in full control, flesh and blood of the character. The best it's ever been..

  Rakht Charitra: Director’s Note
  
  Posted by Ram Gopal Varma on Aug 14, 2010
  
  

  I am posting the first look of ‘Rakht Charitra’ on some visuals cut on a theme song in here along with my take as a Director.
  
  Director’s Note:
  
  This story is inspired from the life of Paritala Ravi from South India who was assassinated in January, 2005. Even though the actual incidents of the story happened and the related characters existed in South India, I decided to make it in Hindi because I strongly felt that the sheer uniqueness of the story deserves to be told to a much wider audience.
  
  Paritala Ravi was arguably the most feared individual ever in the history of the blood-ridden faction politics of South India. He was a prime accused in innumerable murder cases and also survived numerous assassination attempts, the most brutal of which happened on a quiet Friday afternoon in November 1997 when a road near Rama Naidu Studio in Hyderabad was turned into a death field by a bomb which killed 26 people but failed to get its intended target Ravi.
  
  I, in the course of my life have read biographies of various people and have also come to know through various sources the life stories of many highly dangerous men but all those stories pale in comparison to Ravi’s life story.
  
  How Ravi, a soft-spoken shy guy under a force of certain circumstances retreated into the jungles, became a rebel and how he mounted a volcano of violence to avenge his father’s and brother’s deaths and how in time he became a folklore legend and eventually a minister in N.T. Ramarao’s Cabinet, reads more grippingly than any fiction writer anywhere in the world can ever imagine.
  
  Ravi’s name sent shivers up the spines of not only his rivals but even the law enforcement agencies. He was a rebel, a feudal lord, a robin hood, a killer of hundreds and saviour of thousands till the day he was gunned down by a death squad allegedly put together by his arch rival Suri, who wanted to avenge his father’s and brother’s deaths, in a bizarre déjà vu.
  
  ... Contd.

  
  

• From: ilayapuyalvinodh_kumar on 15th August 2010 12:51 AM [Full View]

  
  
  

  ...I have been following Ravi’s rise to power since long, but I first heard of Suri only after the bomb explosion at Rama Naidu Studios. I was both amazed and chilled to see that even after being confined to a prison cell, how the fire of Suri’s vengeance continued to burn unabated for 7 long years till he finally succeeded, armed with nothing but a severe desire to kill Ravi as his one and only weapon.
  
  In my research for the film I have met various associates of Paritala Ravi and Suri and also their family members. I have also met Suri who was lodged in Anantpur jail on trial for the killing of Ravi and what I finally managed to piece together from all the various police records and eye witness accounts is the most fascinating story I have ever heard or could hope to hear in my life. This is the story of a man’s phenomenal rise to power and a story of the most intense blood curdling conflict ever heard of between 2 individuals and it is also the ultimate statement on the oft heard disastrous consequences of a fatal mixture of caste, crime, family feuds and politics.
  
  I decided to film this story at one stretch and release it in two parts about 3 months from each other, a first of its kind ever attempted in the history of Indian cinema. I wanted to call the films RakhtCharitra and RakhtCharitra – 2. Why I wanted to make it in two parts is because the sheer drama and content the story possesses is so incredibly rich and of such high magnitude that it is not possible to do justice to it in a film which is lesser than 4 to 5 hours. Also Ravi’s life can be broadly divided into two parts, from the time how circumstances created his rise to how he created circumstances that felled him.

  Raktha Charitram – the Most Violent Film (Top10cinema, Monday, August 16)
  
  The countdown has already taken its places amongst the Suriya fans, not alone in Tamil Nadu, but across Bollywood and Telugu film industry as well. In fact, the film’s release being postponed to a month later as deliberately disappointed them. But all they say is ‘the wait will be worth it’.
  
  With the first part of Raktha Charithra scheduled to hit screens in October, the second part featuring Suriya in the main lead will be released only after 3-4 weeks.
  
  Meanwhile, Ram Gopal Varma has opted for the viral marketing mode to publicize his movie. Recently he had mentioned that Raktha Charitram will be ever most violent film. But behind every violent act, there lies the deepest of human emotions.

  --- Ramu claims to create history with release of 'Rakta Charitra' ---
  
  Ram Gopal Varma, who has geared up for his up-coming film - " Rakta Charitra ", claimed the movie will create history in Indian cinema as it is first of its kind to be made in two parts.
  
  "Rakta Charitra" is based on the life of slain leader Paritala Ravindra to be played by Vivek Oberoi. Surya enacting the role of Maddelacheruvu Suri and Shatrughan Sinha playing N T Rama Rao along with Kota Srinivasa Rao and Radhika Apte in other pivotal roles.
  
  "This is the first film in Indian Cinema to release in two parts. Part II will release after three-four weeks of Part I. Both films will be released in October and will be of two hours and ten minutes each," Varma said. The film is made in Telgu, Tamil and Hindi.
  
  Because of sheer drama and content the story possesses, it was not possible to do justice in just one go. We wanted to show rise and fall of Ravi and emergence of Suri, he said.
  
  Actor Vivek Oberoi, who is teaming up with Varma after eight years, said, "It is like a debut all over again. It is once in a lifetime opportunity. I feel fortunate to get it.
  
  "Southern actor Suriya, who makes debut in Bollywood with "Rakta Charitra", said, "I owe it all to Ramu sir. Hope people like my work here."
  
  Tamil actress Priyamani, who showcased her acting skills in Mani Ratnam's 'Raavan', said, "This is my second film in Bollywood. I am pleased to work with Ramu sir."
  
  First look of the movie was unveiled day before yesterday in Mumbai with Vivek, Suriya, Priyamani, Anubhav Singh and Varma.

  Not keen to go full throttle in Bollywood, says Surya [Deccan Chronicle, Aug 17, 2010]
  
  Tamil actor Surya Sivakumar, who is debuting in Bollywood with Ram Gopal Varma's 'Rakta Charitra' says even though the film is a perfect launch vehicle for him in Bollywood, he is not keen to go full throttle in B-town. "I think 'Rakta Charitra' is a perfect film for me in Hindi cinema. But I am not looking at making a full-fledged career in Bollywood...I am not shifting my base here," Suriya, who has acted in Tamil movies like 'Kaakha Kaakha' and 'Ghajini', told PTI.
  
  The 34-year-old actor also ruled out quitting Southern films for Bollywood. "I have never pushed myself for Hindi cinema. If I get to do different roles that excite me then I will surely love to do Hindi movies. But I will not stop doing films down South," he said.
  
  'Rakta Charitra', slated for an October release, is said to depict the life of the slain political leader Paritala Ravindra played by Vivek Oberoi, with Surya enacting the role of Maddelacheruvu Suri and veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha playing N T Rama Rao. Its made in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil languages.
  
  On working with RGV, Surya said, "Ramu Sir and I have been friends for four-five years now. I loved his 'Rangeela' and 'Sarkar'. When he narrated this script to me I could not say no. The character really excited me to go for the film. It is so very intense."

  Rakta Charitra:RGV to delete controversial scene ? [August 19, 2010]
  
  Following an outburst from Pawan Kalyan fans against a controversial picture posted in Twitter by director Ram Gopal Varma from a scene belonging to his ongoing film Rakta Charitra, the director has apparently decided to remove the scene showing Paritala Ravi (Vivek Oberoi) tonsuring the head of an unknown character.
  
  According to rumours, the sequence replicates a real-life incident where the outlawed messiah Paritala Ravi had kidnapped Pawan Kalyan in real life a few years ago and tonsured him over a land dispute."
  
  In the shot, we don't even show the face of the guy who is being tonsured. So what are these protests about ? How can anyone conclude it is Pawan Kalyan we are showing ? Yes, there were rumors of such an incident in real life. But nothing was proved," RGV said.
  
  However, the offending scene is now likely to be deleted from Rakta Charitra.

  Actually now, I'm seeing Oberoi's casting as a major shortcoming. He seems alright, but tbh it's slightly more than posing. Abhimanyu Singh (the mighty impressive actor who played Ransa in Gulaal, in the press conference links this character, Obul Reddy, to Gengis Khan - and that's about the right description if you know the history of this character) would have him for breakfast, while Surya awaits for lunch in Second part.. Would have liked to see Surya's equivalent to have an even playing field.

  Excerpt from Times Of India interview :
  
  Subrat Dutta's name might not ring a bell immediately, but the award-winning Bengali actor who's made a mark in B-town as protagonist in "Madholal Keep Walking", is going to be seen as AK (Ananthapuram King) Gundu Seenu, Paritala Ravi's trusted aide in Ram Gopal Varma's " Rakta Charitra. Seems like the fear of AP's dreaded factionists has seized this National School of Drama grad too as he gets wary when asked about his role.
  
  Whatever the perception of folks on RGV, Subrat is a staunch fan - "RGV is a genius," he says and adds " I was supposed to shoot for 18 days, but it was extended to 45 days as Ramuji added new dimensions to my role. Also I am featuring in both Part I and Part II of the film," he says.
  
  Was it tough getting the cultural nuances of Rayalaseema ?
  
  He says, "This is the age of globalisation and acting transcends all boundaries, but Ramuji knows how to handle an actor. For my role I learned Telugu and practiced my lines till the wee hours of the morning ."

  There is no stopping for Ram Gopal Varma from heaping laurels on Suriya. The director is so impressed with the actor and is in complete awe about his performance in their forthcoming film ‘Raktha Charithra’.
  
  The filmmaker, who had earlier penned a long post on Suriya on his blog, told a Tamil tabloid, “Suriya is a complete actor. His eyes are so powerful. They spit fire all the time. I just can’t stop admiring his eyes.”

  Excerpt from Priyamani's Interview to '' The Hindu '' :
  
  After making a foray into Bollywood with Raavan, Priyamani will again be seen in Rakht Charitra. Priyamani's first attempt at breaking into Bollywood, Raavan, fizzled out. The actor, who played Abhishek's sister in Mani Ratnam's film, is now all set to play the lead in a film made by another big name — Ram Gopal Varma's Rakht Charitra.
  
  “I've always wanted to work with Ram Gopal Varma. I was in Mumbai when he narrated the script to me, and I just couldn't say no.” Priyamani plays Suriya's wife in this action adventure. “I play Bhavani, who supports Suri (Suriya) when he makes up his mind to kill Ravi (Vivek Oberoi).”
  
  For a South Indian actor, Priyamani is quite comfortable with Hindi. “I must thank my school teachers who taught me Hindi so well,” she smiles.

  Ram Gopal Varma gets death threats, won't accept security !
  
  In spite of the security threat, Ram Gopal Varma is at this very moment moving around in Hyderabad unescorted. He is visiting his mother in the city. And won't stay away because of the threat.
  
  He isn't being brave, just practical. "This is not the first time I'm under threat. It has happened to me on several occasions. When in the history of assassinations have security guards been able to save anyone? The one who is determined to kill you will do."
  
  Supporters of an alleged outlaw Ubala Reddy who figures prominently in Rakta Charitra are not amused by the way they think their leader must be portrayed in Varma's film. But Ramu is more amused than frightened by these threats. "They've sent a long legal
  notice in which they express their misgivings about Ubala Reddy. But I want to know how they know how I've portrayed the character (played by Abhimanyu Singh) when they haven't seen a single frame?"
  
  Ramu refuses to surrender to such arm- twisting tactics "They're welcome to do what they like. My film remains unchanged."
  
  While Rakta Charitra is being released on October 22, the release date for the sequel which is ready, is not decided. Says Ramu, "We decided on doing the sequel simultaneously to save costs. It doesn't matter how Rakta Charitra fares. We'll release the sequel.
  
  So far whoever has seen the film has loved it. The best compliment came from a rival actor who said he was sad about it, but this film would bring Vivek back into the reckoning."

  Suriya not to speak Hindi
  
  IndiaGlitz
  [Thursday, September 02, 2010]
  
  Suriya, who is making his Bollywood debut with Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Raktha Charithra’, has suggested the director to opt for a professional dubbing artiste to dub for the character played by him. “Because, the role I play in ‘Raktha Charithra’ should be real. Audiences should get convinced with my character. Hence I wanted a dubbing artiste to do the job to maintain the nativity”, he says.
  
  Saying that he was scared of speaking in Hindi right from school days, the actor adds: “I don’t know why. But it was always tough for me to learn Hindi, though I married a Punjabi girl and the language is often spoken at my home”.
  
  On the film, he says, “RGV has shaped it up in a very interesting way. It is a realistic film with a raw touch”. It may be recalled that the actor roped in a Hindi tutor to get his act right on the sets of ‘Raktha Charithra’.

  Raktha Charithra-Suriya’s bold move !
  
  Sify.com
  Thursday, 2 September
  
  Suriya is one superstar who knows his limits, and does not try to push into the unknown. He has decided not to dub for his Hindi debut film Raktha Charithra, directed by Ram Gopal Varma. Unlike other actors in Kollywood, Suriya understands his limitations and wants to be perfect as far as his character goes.
  
  Says Suriya: “I believe if the character has to come alive on screen, his voice and dialect should sound authentic and fit in with the region and nativity. That’s why I went for a professional dubbing artist.”Suriya is smart, if he had dubbed for the film, it would have looked odd and audiences in North India would not accept him.

  So it's confirmed ! Suriya isn't dubbing !!

  Suriya vs Vivek
  
  TOI,
  Sep 9
  
  Suriya, it seems, is poised to be Bollywood's first true-blue action hero since Salman Khan. This fact has obviously not gone down well with Vivek Oberoi who has been telling people Suriya is the "main antagonist" in Rakta Charitra. The stage is set for another star-war in filmdom.
  
  Says Vivek, "I'm really looking forward to the release of Rakta Charitra. It's a big challenge in terms of the range and canvas. The fact that Suriya is playing the main antagonist is an added incentive. He's a dear friend and a wonderful co-actor." 'Dear friend' Suriya doesn't react too favourably to being labelled an antagonist. Suriya is not quite in agreement with Vivek regarding the roles assigned to them both by his co-star. Neither is the director, Ram Gopal Varma.
  
  Says the soft-spoken Suriya, "I am not the antagonist. I wouldn't like to comment on Vivek's character. I took this role not to prove myself a star to the Hindi audiences but because of the challenge of playing such a complex part as my Hindi debut. Also, the film has Tamil and Telugu versions, so it goes to my traditional audience besides the Hindi moviegoers. "Interestingly, Suriya and Vivek don't have any scenes together. Says Suriya, "We've separate tracks.
  
  " Says director Ram Gopal Varma, "There are no black or white characters in Rakta Charitra. Everyone has grey shades. The way it is in real life. Both Vivek and Suriya's character are equally important... and morally ambivalent."

  RGV is planning to release 'Raktha Charitra' audio in Anantapur!
  
  With famous Bollywood hero Vivek Oberoi and "Gazini" fame Tamil hero Surya as heroes and Priyamani as heroine, famous producer and director Ramgopal Varma's forthcoming movie is "Raktha Charithra". It is well known to the readers that this movie is based on Paritala Ravi and Maddilacheruvu Suri's real life story.
  
  Surprisingly, the news is that Ramgopal Varma has chosen Ananthapur town to release its audio. It is said that RGV thinks faction-fued ridden Ananthpur is the best place to conduct flick's audio release ceremony.

  SURIYA’S WAIT UNTIL ENDHIRAN RELEASE
  
  Sep 13, 2010,
  Behindwoods.com
  
  Raktha Charithra is slated for an October release, sources report. The film is complete and the audio will be launched later this month, probably on the 18th or 19th. However, RC’s director Ram Gopal Varma will release the film only in the month of October as Rajinikanth-starrer Endhiran, made on a huge budget, is ready for a September release.
  
  Sources say that RGV will ensure that RC is released at least three weeks after Endhiran hits the screens. RC is a multilingual film which has Suriya, Vivek Oberoi and Priyamani playing the lead roles and is based on a real life incident that shook Andhra Pradesh several years ago.

  Reel biopic, real woes
  
  Ram Gopal Varma's "Rakta Charitra" a film that revolves around the family feud of Suri and Paritala Ravi ran into many controversies through its making. The blood-soaked and brutal visuals in the trailers propelled the Human Rights Commission to write to the censor board to stop the film that was glorifying violence.
  
  Following the recent death threats from Obul Reddy's followers, an unfazed RGV said on record, "Even the ghost of Obul Reddy can't frighten me."

But in Tamil, both Rakta Charitra Part 1 and Rakta Charitra Part 2 are been combined and would be released as one movie Rakta Charitra.

  'Rakht Charitra - Part I' is not shifting ahead
  
  By Taran Adarsh,
  September 21, 2010.
  
  With ANJAANA ANJAANI being pushed ahead by one week [the film will arrive on October 1], a number of forthcoming films are likely to be pushed ahead as well. Why clash with another biggie and divide the business ? However, producer Madhu Mantena is sticking to the release date of both his movies - JHOOTHA HI SAHI [15th October] and RAKHT CHARITRA - Part I [22nd October]. "I am not shifting ahead," Madhu quashes rumours about RAKHT CHARITRA - Part I getting shifted to a latter date. In fact, RAKHT CHARITRA - Part I will open in three versions [Hindi, Tamil and Telugu] on the same date - 22nd October.
  
  Meanwhile, the makers are ready with RAKHT CHARITRA - Part II as well and will decide the release date once the first part has released.

  Tune into Rakta Charitra from Sept 26
  
  IndiaGlitz [Saturday, September 25, 2010]
  
  Ram Gopal Varma's most-talked trilingual (Telugu-Hindi-Tamil) project Rakta Charitra is waiting to show itself on Oct 22nd. While we are waiting for the film to come on big screens, looks like we have to be satisfied with Raktha Charitra's music for the time being
  
  Latest update from the movies front is that its audio will be released tomorrow that is on September 26th in Hyderabad. The music is done by Mani Sharma, who was in fact initiated by Ramu to take up the composing work. Madhura Music reported to have got the audio rights.
  
  Interestingly, RGV has also rendered his voice for a track, but only for the Telugu version and the song goes like -"Katthulatho saavaasam... Netthutitho samaaptham".
  
  On the other hand, remaining songs will mostly be pure background scores. Among them is said to be a re-worked version of Govinda Govinda, the popular track of Sarkar and Sarkar Raj.

  RGV turns singer with Raktha Charitra...
  
  DC,
  September 27th, 2010.
  
  The maverick filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma who is all set to strike with his trilingual Raktha Charitra has turned singer. It is for the first time he has crooned a number Katthulatho saavaasam in Mani Sharma’s composition which we hear is a montage song for the Tollywood version.
  
  Sources said that the song has already been recorded. An intense political thriller and a family drama based on the real life faction leaders Paritala Ravi and Maddelacheruvu Suri, Raktha Charitra has Vivek Oberoi playing the role of Ravi and Suriya portraying his arch rival Suri. Priyamani plays Suriya’s wife. Bollywood actor Shatrughan Sinha enacts former late AP Chief Minister NTR.
  
  The audio of Tamil version is set to happen in Chennai on September 30 with RGV’s close friend Mani Ratnam unveiling the audio. Sources inform that the National Award winning actress Priya Mani who will be seen in a de-glam roleis also expected to be in the city for the promotion.

  Listened to Telugu songs and few hindi promo songs... Mani Sharma - Now understood why he was honoured by Trinity College of Music.... It's because of some thunderous albums like Pokkiri and this movie is no exception.
  
  The songs aren't a candy floss type that will be make you sleep or give you a soft and pleasant feeling. These are those thunderous beats that will send waves of electricity even to the innermost and tiniest of nerves in your body. The songs are awesome and people must give it a listening.

  RGV on why he sang the song in RC -
  
  “I sang a song in this film. The song starts with the lyrics of `Kattulato Saavaasam` and the song itself exemplifies the theme of the two parts of Rakta Charitra. The reason I sang was not to showcase my singing talent. When I was telling the music directors the way this song should be sung, they were fed up of my constant interference and forced me to sing myself”

  Suriya's Raktha Charithra Music On Airs
  
  Tuesday,
  September 28, 2010.
  
  In spite of his career being brimmed with glorious successes, this would be one of the best and important films in his career. Working with Ram Gopal Varma would be the ultimate dream of any actor in tinsel town. Perhaps, Suriya was the lucky one to have fetched the best offer.
  
  ‘Rattha Charithram’ featuring Suriya, Vivek Oberoi and Priyamani in lead roles is produced by Madhu Mantena and Sheetal Vinod Talwar of Cinergy Productions and is now acquired by Dayanidhi Azhagiri and Vivek Rathinavel of Cloud Nine Productions.
  
  The Telugu version’s music release was recently held in Hyderabad. But unfortunately, Ram Gopal Varma alone was the highlighting factor for the occasion as none of the star-casts were present. The Tamil version’s music is expected to be launched in October and the promotional campaigns have already commenced.

  Raththa Charithiram has a universal theme: RGV
  
  IndiaGlitz,
  September 29, 2010.
  
  Even as his much awaited trilingual Raththa Charithiram is getting ready for its music launch on Thursday, Ram Gopal Varma, the man of the moment, has spilled the beans on the movie, which has Suriya and Vivek Oberoi in lead roles.
  
  I never knew what mafia and gang war were until I saw Godfather. It was a foreign story but its emotions were universal. So is Raththa Charithiram. The subject is volatile, obviously there should be some gore and violence, he said.
  
  Expressing hope that the movie would do well in Tamil, the ace filmmaker adds: It would embolden me to keep making Tamil movies. Kollywood has evolved a lot. We get to see movies of various genres getting released in the south.
  
  On Suriya, he said, Suriya has donned the role of Suri, who takes up arms for settling scores with his enemies. I have a great regard for Suriya. Working with him has been a delightful experience. He has the intensity of a volcano. He is capable of doing any kind of role.

  To be honest all characters in this film are bad. You can hardly find any person with a good mind and thought in this film. It's difficult to say who is the hero and who's the villain.

  ‘Raththa Charithiram’: Will the tagline be changed ?
  
  IndiaGlitz,
  September 30, 2010.
  
  Hindu Makkal Katchi has sent a legal notice to the makers of ‘Raththa Charithiram’, opposing the film’s tagline in its promos- ‘Revenge is the purest emotion- Mahabharatha’. The notice was sent to director Ram Gopal Varma, producer Dhayanidhi Alagiri of Cloud Nine Movies and actor Suriya by advocate N Raja Senthoor Pandian on behalf of his client T Kannan, who is the organising secretary of Hindu Makkal Katchi.
  
  The legal notice says, “(The tagline) has degraded the great belief of Hinduism...since the epic guides the common public about the good principles to be followed in day-to-day life of human beings and the slogan gives a wrong meaning to Mahabharatha”. The legal notice has asked the producer, director and actor to withdraw the slogan, as well as dialogues if any along similar lines. Reacting to this, Suriya has said that the cast and crew of the film had no intention on hurting anyone’s sentiments.
  
  ‘Raththa Charithiram’s music launch is scheduled to happen today at 6:30 pm at Satyam Cinemas, Chennai.

  Though many sites have put up Mani Sharma's name i still doubt if he has composed any songs... There are 3 different composers for 3 languages... So it's a bit confusing... Plus there won't be seperate songs (95%) and it will be like a Bgm i think. All your queries shall be answered in the subsequent days when more confirmed inputs come

  Mani Ratnam launches Raktha Sarithiram audio
  
  By Moviebuzz,
  Friday, 01 October , 2010.
  
  Sathyam cinemas wore a festive look as film personalities from across India came together on one dais to launch the audio of Cloud Nine and Cinergy Pictures Ram Gopal Varma directed Raktha Sarithiram.
  
  It was indeed a rare occasion to witness renowned faces of filmdom from Bollywood and Kollywood which included Mani Ratnam, AR Murgadoss, Shatrughan Sinha, Vivek Oberoi, Priyamani, KV Anand, Lingusamy, Amirtham, Karthi and hosts Surya, Dhayanidhi Alagiri and Vivek Ratnavel amongst others.
  
  Mani Ratnam launched the audio and later released the first audio cd which was handed over to Shatrughan Sinha.
  
  The film has background score by Dharam-Sandeep and no music director was present at the launch though lyricists Viveka and Na Muthukumar were present.
  
  A trailor and two montage numbers were screened. Said producer Sheetal Talwar, “This is a movie of many firsts. Its Surya and Cloud Nine’s first Hindi film, Vivek, Shatrughan Sinha, Ramu’s and Cinergy’s first Tamil film.”
  
  Mani Ratnam recalled the long association with Ramu saying, “Ramu is a special friend. When we were thinking stories he was already thinking movies and there has been no change in him till today. He still has the same speed and violence within him !”
  
  Lingusamy and Murgadoss were thrilled to be in the company of their inspirational directors, Mani and Ramu. Said Murgadoss, “I want to go and work as an assistant to Mani sir for a few days. I was thrilled when Suriya made me sit next to him today since it’s the first time, I am meeting him. I’ve been a huge fan of Ramu sir right from the Udayam days. This film too looks deeply set in reality and every character has a story behind him.”
  
  Vivek spoke a few words in Tamil while Karthi said, “I heard Surya speaking in Hindi with anni for the first time thanks to this film.’ The film marks Suriya’s entry into Bollywood and the actor said, “I always wanted to work with Ramu sir but I never imagined it would be this soon. The film is a totally all India film thanks to its pan Indian star cast in the Tamil, Telugu and Hindi versions. In the 35 days of shoot I learnt so much and those were among the best days of my career.”
  
  Shatrughan Sinha regretted he couldn’t speak in Tamil “ the language of great saints, artists, poets and warriors”. He added, “I did this film when Ramu told me that without me this film wouldn’t be shot. I didn’t know I was going to be in the Tamil version too or else I would have learnt Tamil surely !”
  
  RGV recalled his long association with Mani Ratnam and added that Surya’s powerful eyes and intense characterization made him apt for the role. The film is slated for a Diwali release.

  Suriya's the best: RGV
  
  TOI,
  Oct 2, 2010.
  
  Director Ram Gopal Varma tells TOI that audiences will see a different side to the actor in his upcoming film...In an exclusive to TOI, maverick director Ram Gopal Varma speaks about his forthcoming Raktha Charithra-1 (RC) in Hindi (in which Suriya makes his Bollywood debut) and Raktha Sarithram.
  
  Elaborate on the two versions...
  
  Raktha Charithra is being made in two partsin Hindi. Raktha Charithra-1 will be released on October 22 and a few weeks later, the second part of the film will release. Raktha Sarithram(in Tamil) will have only one version and it will be a condensed version of the two parts in Hindi. We are trying to release it in Tamil Nadu for Deepavali.
  
  What is the film about ?
  
  It is a realistic drama involving two principalcharacters and the subject is spread over a period of 15 years. I have been attracted to the subject matter which focusses on the dark side about the bitter rivalry between Paritala Ravi and Suri. It is based on true incidents and characters in Andhra. Let me tell you — it is the story of the most intense, blood-curdling conflict ever told between two individuals.
  
  What is Suriya's role in the film ?
  
  RC-1 is about the rise of the character playedby Vivek Oberoi and Suriya comes only in thelast 10 minutes of the film. RC-2 will show how the conflict starts between Vivek and Suriya, who is playing Suri's character in the film. The Tamil version will have Suriya coming in the 35th minute and will dominate the film from then. It is a very violent film but at the same time it's very emotional as violence is one of the human emotions. The film is trying to bring out thestrong emotion (or hatred) that Suri has for Ravi.
  
  The buzz is that the film is too violent and will never get through the censors.
  
  Actually,violence is a part of human emotion and thedecision to turn violent comes from within the mind. Its intensity varies from person toperson. The background score itself captures the violent undercurrents and mood of the film. I feel my film is an emotional experience, and I don't think there will be any censor problem.
  
  What made you opt for Suriya to do the role of Suri ?
  
  I have seen a few of his films and was impressed by his work. He plays the character of Suri in the film and has given his best for the role. You will get to see a totally new Suriya in the film. I thought he fit the role of Suri with his smouldering eyesand cool body language. I can see the violence and its purpose in the character he plays in the film. He excels in the action scenes choreographed by Javed Eijas. The audiences can feel the power of his punch inhis eyes, which makes it frightening. Let me tell you — Suriya is awesome and is the bestactor I have ever worked with till date.

  Suriya set to sizzle in B’wood
  
  DC,
  Oct 2.
  
  Today is an important day in my life,” said an emotionally- charged Suriya at the audio launch of his upcoming film, Rattha Saritthiram. The launch took place at a glittering functionin a city multiplex. The trilingual, directed by maverick filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, is a biopic based on real-life factional leaders in Andhra Pradesh, with Vivek Oberoi playing the second protagonist.
  
  He added, “As Saravanan, I was an ordinary guy who worked in a garment factory. It was Mani Ratnam sir who introduced me to tinsel town and because of him I am standing in front of you as Suriya. I feel like going and giving him a big hug!”
  
  The Singam star was also full of praise for RGV. “I waited for five years to work with Ramu sir. Now Ramu is taking me to Bollywood, but it was not that which lured me. I wasn’t keen to enter B’Town. It’s the character who drives me to choose the script. And I loved the script narrated by RGV!”
  
  He continued with his charming smile, “I would describe the days when I worked for Rattha… as one of the best periods of my career. I honestly wonder if I can ever get another film like that in my life.”
  
  The film ran into criticism for its raw violence and Suriya strictly stated that the film should be watched only by an 18 years-plus audience, even as he justified RGV’s stance.“
  
  The trailers have been cut in such a way that they give an extra edge to the violent scenes. But the real achievement is that RGV has incorporated strong emotions that are the undercurrent of each violent scene.”

  Shotgun says 'Rakta Charitra' his best film
  
  iExpress,
  Oct 1.
  
  Shatrughan Sinha, who will be seen without his trademark moustache for the first time onscreen in Ram Gopal Varma's 'Rakta Charitra', says that he has given his best to the political drama. The Bollywood veteran, nicknamed shotgun, is essaying the role resembling former Andhra Pradesh chief minister N T Rama Rao in the movie, which also stars Vivek Oberoi and South Indian actor Suriya of 'Ghajini' fame.
  
  "I really worked hard for this film. I learnt the basics of Tamil and Telugu for the other two versions. I rate it as one of my finest performances. It is a dramatic and gripping film to come out from RGV. He is a genius", said Sinha from Chennai.
  
  'Rakta Charitra' has been made in Hindi, Tamil and Telgu. Sinha is featuring in all the three versions. The film will be released on October 22. In his long career spanning four decades, Sinha never compromised on his moustache but the actor reluctantly agreed to a clean look to play NTR.
  
  "Initially I was reluctant (to shave off moustache) but considering the need of the script I had to agree to Ramu's request," says Sinha, 64.
  
  The actor, who is a BJP MP from Bihar's Patna Saheb, feels that the film, based on the life of slain political leader Paritala Ravi, will be a "good education for politicians."
  
  Sinha, who has acted in more than 200 Hindi movies and also in Bangla and Punjabi films,is one of the few actors in Bollywood, who managed to switch over from negative rolesto main leads.
  
  The film is coming at a time when the actor-politician will be busy campaigning for his party during the Bihar assembly elections, starting from October 21. Sinha first shot to fame by playing the negative role in Sanjeev Kumar, Mumtaz starrer 'Khilona' in 1970 and went on to starin Bollywood hits like 'Kalicharan', Vishwanath and 'Kaala Patthar'.

  From Off Sources :
  
  ~~ The BGM (Background Score) for RC is done by Dharam-Sandeep for all 3 languages and no one else should be credited for the same
  
  ~~ MANI SHARMA has not done the Background Music or Composed anything related to RC...he was initially supposed to work but was not approved
  
  ~~ Mani Sharma has not composed any songs for RC (Hindi, Tamil or Telugu)

  Without knowing this even i had praised MS much... Hmmm... Dharam-Sandeep : Awesome work !! A masterpiece IMHO

  Reminding you of this article :
  
  "The rights have been procured by the Malaysian company after they saw some action sequences and Suriya’s performance in the film at RGV’s office in Mumbai. “We are simply awestruck by what we saw; the power-packed action scenes are stunning. Suriya has never been seen like this before and this film is surely going to create havoc at the box office!” says a visibly excited Anand Sivam, head of the company which purchased the overseas rights. "
  
  Surely the film will reach your shore but all depends on the Censor's Play... If they start cutting too much then the real essence of the film would be lost.

  Murugadoss has made his point !
  
  TOI,
  Oct 3.
  
  Director AR Murugadoss might have hit the jackpot in both Kollywood and Bollywood and could be all set to try his luck in Hollywood too. But, the director still feels he has a lot to learn from veteran filmmakers. Murugadoss, who has made heads turn by giving even Bollywood one of its biggest blockbusters,Ghajini with Aamir Khan, nurtures a secret desire that might come as a surprise to many.
  
  The hitmaker now wants to serve as an assistant to ace director Mani Ratnam. At the audio launch function of Ram Gopal Varma's Rakta Charitram, he admitted, "Mani sir has always been my inspiration. I've learnt so much from his films. I had never met him in person to date. But now, I have to thank Suriya for giving me an opportunity to sit next to Mani sir. When Mani sir begins shooting for his next film, I would love to assist him for at least 10 days. It would help me immensely and I'm sure I will be able to take home much."
  
  Murugadoss was all praise for Suriya (his hero in 7am Arivu). He said, "Suriya is an addiction of sorts, from which there is no reprieve. It's impossible for any director who has worked with him once, to not rope him in for their next venture. I've worked with him in Ghajini and now, I'm working on 7am Arivu with him. Such is his charisma." Well, looks like Murugadoss has made his point !

  A saga in the making?
  Nikhil Raghavan
  
  "Raktha Charitra" marks Suriya's debut in Bollywood. Ram Gopal Varma and Suriya talk about the making of the tri-lingual film.
  
  He's directed over 30 feature films, including 22 in Hindi. Ram Gopal Varma (RGV) has produced, written and directed most of his films, from “Shiva” (1989), which brought him into the limelight, and Bollywood blockbuster “Rangeela” that elevated him to dizzy heights, to his more recent offerings.
  
  Meanwhile, our own Suriya is busy wrapping up guest appearances in “Manmadhan Anbu” and “Avan Ivan”, working with Shruti Hassan in “7aam Arivu” and preparing for his Bollywood debut with RGV's tri-lingual “Raktha Charitra”.
  
  Based on the life of the late Paritala Ravindra, a gangster and political leader from Andhra Pradesh, “Raktha Charitra” has Vivek Oberoi playing Ravindra, while Suriya essays the character of Maddelacheruvu Suri, Ravi's nemesis. The story, based on real-life factional feuds, is set in Rayalaseema in Andhra Pradesh.
  
  Multi-faceted role
  
  For Suriya, “Raktha Charitra” is an important film. “This will mark my debut in Hindi, and it will be my first straight film in Telugu. I am looking forward to my Bollywood debut, but the deciding factors in signing up for this film were RGV and the character I play; there are so many facets and emotions to it,” says the actor.
  
  The film takes on different avatars in each language. Explains RGV: “In Tamil, the film will be released as one full-length film, whereas, in Telugu and Hindi, it will be released in two parts. Telugu audiences know the real story very well, and will expect to see every detail; hence the need to do a two-part film. Hindi audiences are used to the multiplex culture, and, I believe, a sequel will go down well there.”
  
  Considering the fact that the film is based on real people and incidents, there is bound to be a lot of interest about it in Andhra Pradesh, right? RGV feels otherwise. “The characters will lead the narrative; the theme and story will follow. So, the film will appeal to people across the country. ‘Godfather' was based on the Italian mafia. Didn't it appeal to audiences worldwide? Similarly, this story could be set anywhere in the world. The story of gangsters, revenge and power is common across the world. However, since Suriya is a big star in Tamil Nadu, we've managed to condense the story into one full-length film thanks to some deft editing, and treat this as a Suriya vehicle,” says the director.
  
  RGV's career in Bollywood has been turbulent, with some of his films, such as “Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag”, facing flak. But, he has hit the bulls' eye with the gangster trilogy “Satya”, “Company” and “D”.
  
  Says RGV: “For me, every film is an exciting project, and I approach it as if it were my first. Even with ‘Raktha Charitra', it is like making three different films for totally different audiences. And, it has been a great challenge. Since Suriya was comfortable in Tamil, we did the Tamil bit first. After he understood the emotions and the needs of the character, the other languages were a cakewalk. For Vivek, I shot the other way around — in Hindi first, and then in the other languages. ‘Raktha Charitra' has changed my mindset when it comes to film-making — in the very concept and style of creating it.”
  
  About working with RGV, Suriya says: “I have always been fascinated by his characters and selection of actors. There is always a close synergy between both. When this story was narrated to me, I felt it would give me ample scope to perform. And, while it was difficult to portray the various facets of the character's life, I've derived a lot of satisfaction from the fact that I've done justice to it. Initially, when I watched Vivek's sequences, I wondered if I would be able to match his screen presence and acting. But, as we went along, I worked really hard on my role. The end result is fantastic.”
  
  RGV wanted the perfect cast for “Raktha Charitra” to convey the turbulent emotions of the two central characters. “My challenge was to do justice to the emotions of the real Ravi and Suri. I saw a fire in Suriya's eyes that I felt would translate the character's emotions beautifully,” says RGV.
  
  As with most of RGV's films, “Raktha Charitra” is also bound to be violent, but that is the reality of life, feels the director. And, director Mani Ratnam summed it up appropriately enough at the audio release function: “I've known RGV for a long, long time. He continues with the same vegam (speed) and same violence. I wish him well.”

  this guy is a great talent and did a effervescent role in Anurag Kashyap's Gulaal ...........woah - violence aestheticised - like tarantino movies.........but the female teasing scenes and voice overs sema masala thanama irundhudhu .......

  Voice over is definitely masalaic no question there. But I thought grabbing the girl from the scooter and the guy driving the scooter was very realistic. Solla mudiyadhu even that could have been from real -life.

  Yeah i think so. Both are bad but Ravi took up violence as a self defense and for retribution.
  
  Spoilers!!
  
  Obul reddy i believe is only one of the gang. He is not in the main rivalry if i am not wrong. He was killed in a lodge in AP in 1997. The main family feud was between Maddalacheruvu Suri(Surya's character) and Paritala Ravi(Vivek). History has it that they have been killing each other's family for the last three decades. Ravi's father was killed by Suri's dad. So as retribution Ravi killed almost everybody except suri. Suri now has killed Ravi.

  As he is flying to Turkey on Friday and won't be able to make it to the premiere of 'RC 1', Mahesh Babu was shown a special show of Rakta Charitra at Prasad Labs by producer C.Kalyan, who made 'Khaleja' with Mahesh earlier.
  
  Mahesh can't stop talking about the movie. Saying that Ramgopal Varma is at his best in this movie, Mahesh added that the whole movie was 'spine chilling' and he's not able to get his mind off it. During many occasions, Mahesh had expressed his desire to work with RGV but he hasn't got an opportunity yet.
  
  The movie that created sensation right from its day of announcement is releasing tomorrow 22nd October! A Special Premiere for select invitees is scheduled tonight.

  Movie is excellently done.
  
  Touted to be a true story that occured in Anantapur district ,AP. RGV churns a sure hit of a movie to bring out the best from his talented cast. With excellent background music and contemplary camera work, the movie captures the hearts of the audience. A movie packed with politics, caste and creed, rape and torture, gruesome murders, revenge and violence skillfully brought to life on screen by RVG. He needs to be commended for his efforts despite the string of flops in his recent past.
  
  Vivek Oberoi, Shatrughan Sinha, Abhimanyu Singh, Kota Srinivasa Rao and Kitty have potrayed very good performances specially Vivek,Satrughan Sinha and Abhimanyu. Sinha is a treat to watch. It is very much evident that RVG and the cast have done a lot of research and legwork as every frame is well thought off and every character's performance essays that feeling.

  Vivek Oberoi, Shatrughan Sinha, Abhimanyu Singh, Kota Srinivasa Rao and Kitty have potrayed very good performances specially Vivek,Satrughan Sinha and Abhimanyu. Sinha is a treat to watch. It is very much evident that RVG and the cast have done a lot of research and legwork as every frame is well thought off and every character's performance essays that feeling.
  
  I have carefully avoided any spoilers.
  
  If you can tolerate the violence, Rakta Charithram will not dissappoint you. Must see...

  Super...
  
  Btw neenga ladies a?

  I think RGV has said that Surya's character only comes towards the end of Part 1.
  In Part 2, he will be there in the major portion of the movie.
  No point seeing Part 2 without seeing Part 1.
  
  The other alternative is to wait for the Tamil version since its only releasing in one part and both parts will be condensed into one.

  Raktha Charitra, directed by Ram Gopal Varma, got released in Hindi today. The film which stars Vivek Oberoi and Surya in lead roles has also been released in Telugu. The movie has been shot in two parts and the first part has not been released in Tamil. Not for Kamal Haasan because Raktha Charitra has been exclusively screened for him at the Four Frames theater on Friday. Other celebrities who are associated with the movie accompanied him in the premiere.
  
  The second part of Raktha Charitra will be released in the month of November in Tamil as well as in Hindi and Telugu.

  Technically, the film industry's protest didn't have anything to do with the org "LTTE".
  
  The whole TN film fraternity boycotted the IIFA function at SL - e.g. Kamal / Rajini reportedly boycotted on their own without any prompting, so as to "not-endorse-the-SL-gov-view-that-all-is-well-there".
  
  The Bachchans & MR too escaped citing various reasons.(The main reason could be to avoid any negative publicity for Ravanan and even for Enthiran in TN. There was gossip about Rajini talking to the Bachchans to avoid the Colombo visit etc. Then there was this protest by TN groups in front of AB's house)
  
  Salman Khan and Vivek Oberoi went ahead and didn't care about the threats to ban their films in TN.

  "The Tamil version of Rakht Charitra was the bigger presence of Surya in it. It was apparent that since Vivek comes primarily from the B-town, the audience may have gone a little restless to see only him in the first part of the film and then wait for their local hero Surya to arrive only in the second part."
  
  "Not that you would see only Surya in the single part Tamil version", reassures Ramu, "Vivek is an integral part of the film and while he anyways had an equal role to play along with Surya in the second part, there are scenes of his from the first part that have been integrated with the second part here. So now we will have a full length feature film with both the actors."
  
  "While both parts of the Hindi and Telugu versions would be a little over two hours each, the Tamil version is expected to be released with a three hours running length."
  
  Well each version will be different anyways...so if you find the movie worth it, give all three versions a chance,
  
  According to the article:
  
  "Moreover, the editing of each of the three versions - whether Hindi, Telugu or Tamil, would differ as well so as to bring to fore the local flavour of the territories. This means that the trilingual features all the actors enacting their scenes little differently in each of the versions."

  http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-mov...-23-10-10.html
  
  Rakta Charithra was released in Hindi and Telugu yesterday (October 22nd, 2010) to packed houses. Vivek Oberoi plays an important role in this film and so does Suriya. Vivek dominates the first part that was released yesterday while it will be Suriya’s turn on November 19th, 2010 when the second part will be released.
  
  People in Andhra Pradesh and Mumbai, who have seen this film, have been raving about Vivek’s performance in this film. The actor needed a hit desperately and RC has given it to him at a time when his wedding is round the corner.

  ரக்த சரித்திராவை எதிர்த்து தெலுங்கு தேசம் பெரும் ரகளை!
  
  http://thatstamil.oneindia.in/movies...hra-movie.html
  
  ரக்த சரித்திரா படத்தை எதிர்த்து தெலுங்கு தேசம் தொண்டர்கள் ரகளை!
  
  விவேக் ஒபராய் நடித்து, ராம்கோபால் வர்மா இயக்கத்தில் வெளியாகியுள்ள தெலுங்குப் படமான ரக்த சரித்ராவை எதிர்த்து தெலுங்கு தேசம் தொண்டர்கள் பெரும் ரகளையில் இறங்கியுள்ளனர்.
  
  சன்ருகன் சின்ஹா, அபிமன்யுசிங், பிரியாமணி உள்ளிட்டோர் நடித்துள்ள இந்தப் படம், இப்போது இந்தி மற்றும் தெலுங்கில் வெளியாகியுள்ளது. ஆனால் இந்தப் படங்கள் தமிழகத்தில் வெளியாகவில்லை. இதன் தமிழ்ப் பதிப்பும் வெளியாகவில்லை.
  
  ஆந்திரா முழுவதும் வெளியாகியுள்ள ரக்த சரித்ராவுக்கு தெலுங்கு தேசம் கட்சியினர் எதிர்ப்பு தெரிவித்து உள்ளனர்.
  
  படத்தில் தெலுங்கு தேச கட்சியின் முன்னாள் தலைவரும், ஆந்திர மாநில முன்னாள் முதல்வருமான என்.டி.ராமராவை தவறாக சித்தரித்து உள்ளனராம். மூன்று முக்கிய காட்சிகளில் அவர் சம்பந்தப்பட்ட சீன்களை மனம் புண்படும்படி எடுத்து இருப்பதாக குற்றம் சாட்டப்படுகிறது.
  
  ரத்த சரித்திரம் படம் திரையிடப்பட்ட தியேட்டர்கள் முன்பு தெலுங்கு தேச தொண்டர்கள் நின்று ஆர்ப்பாட்டத்தில் ஈடுபட்டனர். போஸ்டர்களையும் கிழித்தெறிந்தார்கள். இதையடுத்து தியேட்டர்கள் முன்பு போலீசார் பாதுகாப் புக்காக குவிக்கப்பட்டார்கள். சில மாவட்டங்களில் இப்படம் திரையிடப்படுவது முழுமையாக நிறுத்தப்பட்டது.
  
  போராட்டம் குறித்து ராம்கோபால் வர்மாவிடம் கேட்டபோது "என்.டி. ராமராவ் குடும்பத்தார் திரைப்படம் குறித்து ஆட்சேபம் தெரிவித்தால் அவர் தொடர்புடைய காட்சிகள் நீக்கவும் நான் தயார். கொலை செய்யப்பட்ட தெலுங்கு தேச கட்சித் தலைவர் பரிதலா ரவீந்திரன் மற்றும் அவரது எதிரிகளை மையமாக வைத்துதான் இந்த படத்தை எடுத்துள்ளேன்.." என்றார்.

  என்டி ராமாராவ் தொடர்பான காட்சிகள் நீக்கம்... ராம்கோபால் வர்மா தடாலடி!
  
  ரக்த சரித்ரா படத்துக்கு கிளம்பிய எதிர்ப்பைத் தொடர்ந்து, அந்தப் படத்தில் இடம்பெற்றிருந்த என்டி ராமராவ் தொடர்பான காட்சிகள் அனைத்தையும் நீக்கிவிட்டார் இயக்குநர் ராம்கோபால் வர்மா.
  
  சத்ருகன் சின்ஹா, விவேக் ஓபராய், ப்ரியாமணி நடித்து, நேற்று வெளியான படம் ரக்த சரித்ரா. இந்தப் படத்தில் முன்னாள் முதல்வரும் தெலுங்கு தேசம் கட்சி நிறுவனருமான என்டி ராமாராவ் தொடர்பான காட்சிகள் அவரை இழிவுபடுத்தும் வகையில் உள்ளதாகக் கூறி ஆந்திராவில் பெரும் போராட்டத்தில் ஈடுபட்டனர் தெலுங்கு தேசம் கட்சியினர்.
  
  ராமாராவின் மனைவி லட்சுமி பார்வதியும் இந்த காட்சிகளை நீக்கக் கோரியிருந்தார்.
  
  பல திரையரங்குகளில் படத்தை ஓடவிடாமல் நிறுத்தினர் தெலுங்கு தேசத் தொண்டர்கள். இந்த நிலையில், ரக்த சரித்திராவில் இடம்பெற்ற என்டி ராமாராவ் தொடர்பான காட்சிகளை நீக்கிவிடுவதாக அறிவித்திருந்தார் ராம் கோபால் வர்மா.
  
  தெலுங்கு தேசத்தினரின் போராட்டத்தையடுத்து, ராமாராவ் தொடர்பான அனைத்துக் காட்சிகளையும் நீக்கிவிட்டதாக இப்போது அறிவித்துள்ளார்.
  
  அடுத்த காட்சியிலிருந்து எடிட் செய்யப்பட்ட ரக்த சரித்ரா திரையிடப்படும் என்று அவர் அறிவித்துள்ளார்

  Im not sure if they are the same. I read somewhere that they are slightly different and that Suriya has some extra scenes in the Telugu version. RGV decided not to release it in Tamil cos the sequel which has Suriya as the protagonist is releasing soon. I dont know how far this is true.

  After Robot The Rajni, it's Surya The Ghajini
  
  http://www.samachar.com/After-Robot-...2qL4dgbfa.html
  
  
  
  The process to launch the superstar from Tamil films has begun. Ramgopal Varma is going all out to launch the second installment of RAKHT CHARITRA. The second installment holds a lot of significance since it stars superstar Surya in the lead. In fact, RGV has thought of a novel strategy to announce the arrival of Surya in Bollywood. Massive hoardings are coming up at strategic points in Andheri and Juhu with focus on Surya alone. However, it's the caption that catches your attention: 'After Robot The Rajni, it's Surya The Ghajini'.
  
  
  
  
  It may be recalled that Surya had enacted the main lead in the Tamil version of GHAJINI, which was remade in Hindi with Aamir Khan. In the coming 21 days, the promotions of RAKHT CHARITRA 2 are only going to go bigger and better.

  Rakth charithra - engaging and pacy but masalaic.....not much of arty moments

  dialogues lacked punch, movie didnt have a plethora of equally powerful characters and subplots, as i expected it to be.........i would rate Gulaal anyday much higher than this movie but nevertheless its a very good movie.......

  raktha charitra
  a very racy political thriller...
  it is a very dramatised narration wid lot of cinematic moments..but they help in keeping thetempo throughout...as far as charecterisations r concerned gukka reddy was standout..the performance of the the actor who played gukka was menacing..vivek underplayed it well..and has come out wid a stylish and cool performance overall a gud RGV film after a long time but never comes close to hisclassics like sathya and shiva..
  but the film sets up brilliantly for part 2..but i dont think part 2 will be enjoyed widout watching part1..the rise of vivek is important to get an impact of his power,to realise the strength of his charecter

  Rattha Charitram coming on November 26
  
  http://tamil.galatta.com/entertainme..._26_43739.html
  
  Suriya's Rattha Charitram (Rakht Charitra 2 in Hindi and Raktha Charitra 2 in Telugu), directed by Ram Gopal Varma, will hit screens on November 26, 2010. Interestingly, Suriya comes only in the last 10 minutes Raktha Charitra 1. So the Tamil version will be released in one part only; Suriya will make his first appearance in the 35th minute and will dominate the film from then on. Rattha Charitiram will be a condensed version of the two parts in Hindi and Telugu
  
  Rattha Charitram will have actor Vivek Oberoi as rebel-turned politician Paritala Ravi, one of the most feared individuals in the blood-ridden faction politics of South India. Suriya will play the role of Maddalcheruvu Suri, Paritala Ravi’s opponent. The film also stars Shatrughan Sinha, Priyamani, Radhika Apte, Subrat Dutta, Ashish Vidyarthi, Sudeep, Zarina Wahab, Raj Babbar and Ranjeet.

  Rakhta charitra (telugu version) - Good, could have been even better. Certainly not in the ranks of the classic Trinity Shiva, Satya and Company. But nevertheless good.
  
  Vivek is good. Abhimanyu singh is fantastic as Obul Reddy. The movie moves at a good pace. Everyone acted well. Shatrugan sinha as NTR had a very brief screen time but it was enough. RGV's voice over is loud and could have been avoided. To show surya at the end of the film is a master stroke and sets up brilliantly for the sequel.

  RC pushed to help CB
  
  
  Ram Gopal Varma's bi-lingual film 'Raththa Charithiram' was slated for release on November 19 and the promotions were on. But now we hear that the film has been pushed by a week to release on November 26. The postponement is to accommodate ‘Chikku Bhukku’ starring Arya and Shriya. After hearing RC release, it is said that Arya approached Durai Dhayanidhi whose Cloud Nine Movies is distributing Tamil ‘Raththa Charithiaram’ and requested him to push it by a week so that his 'Chikku Bhukku' will have a safe run for at least a week.
  
  A similar request was also extended to the hero Suriya and both of them agreed. Similarly Shriya also appealed to Ram Gopal Varma for a change.
  
  Heeding to all the requests Durai Dhayanidhi has decided to release 'Raththa Charithiram' on November 26. That's what you call camaraderie. Gen-Y always makes a difference you see.

  Rattha Charithram – a Film Without Hero and Villain
  
  Thursday,
  November 18, 2010.
  
  It’s getting closer now as just a week is left for the release of Suriya’s ‘Rattha Charithram’. The fans expectations are merely about Suriya’s 6-pack physique and breathtaking stunts that have paved a way of perception for ‘heroism’ factors. But the film is here to overshadow such anticipations as Suriya himself admits that the film has no rooms for such ‘Hero-Villain’ vistas.
  
  ‘This is a drama of two characters, its own problems and the situations that made them violent. There is justification behind their every action’ says Suriya on delineating the film’s nature of genre. Ram Gopal Varma’s narrative style should be something new for the audiences, who haven’t watched his previous films. But the actor is confident that it has a hardcore reality of Mahatma Gandhi’s proverb – An eyefor an eye will make the world blind, which is expressed through the song ‘Kathigalin Sagavasam'

  Suriya's Tamil RC postponed!
  
  Suriya's eagerly awaited Ram Gopal Varma starrer with Vivek Oberoi, Raktha Charithra in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi has been postponed from November 26 to December 3, as the film is yet to be censored. The Tamil version is being distributed by Cloud Nine.
  
  Actually RGV and Cinergy Production the producers of the film had slated its release on November 19, but postponed it due to various factors. But Cloud Nine was very particular that the film’s Tamil version should release on November 26, so that it gets a free run for atleast two weeks.
  
  Now that RC has been postponed to December 3, it will have to adjust with other big December releases like Arya's Chikku Bukku on Dec 3, Dhanush's Aadukalam on Dec 10, and Kamal Haasan’s Manmadhan Ambu on Dec 17.

  I have watched only two Tamil films : RGV
  
  Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma was spotted at Chennai’s Four Frames preview theatre on Friday awaiting the Censor Board’s verdict for his much-hyped upcoming film, Rattha Saritthiram. DC caught up with Ramu (as he is fondly called by friends) for an exclusive interview.
  
  Having directed more than 30 films including two dozen Bollywood flicks, expectations from his next offering, Rattha Saritthiram, are running high. It is a biopic set against the backdrop of real life characters from Andhra Pradesh — late Paritala Ravi, a gangster and political leader, and his arch foe, Suryanarayan Reddy aka Maddelacheruvu Suri, and their factional feuds. While Vivek Oberoi plays Ravi, Suriya essays the character of Suri.
  
  Tell him that Suriya is promoting it as an ‘RGVfilm’ and Ramu says, “Suriya is a big star in Tamil Nadu. His fans and an average cinemagoer would have certain expectations while going to watch his film. Rattha Saritthiram is a totally different genre !
  
  I assume in that context Suriya must have referred RC as a ‘RGV movie’. You can expect the songs, dance and larger-than-life fights which are normally part of a commercial film. RC has everything that would appeal to all Suriya fans. I guess the story of gangsters, revenge and power is common across the globe.
  
  Suriya makes his appearance only 20 minutes into the movie.”The Sarkar director says that he was deeply impressed with Priya Mani’s acting in Parutthi Veeran and hence chose her as Suriya’s pair. “So far,I have watched only two Tamil films — Parutthi Veeran and Subramaniyapuram. Priya Mani was full of life in Paruthi… and I felt she fitted the bill in RC”, Ramu explains.
  
  Heaping laurels on Suriya and his dedication, Ramu says in a lighter vain, “I have always had the reputation of showcasing a woman’s body. For the first time,Ienjoyed shooting a man’s body and all credit goes to the man — Suriya. There was a particular fight sequence in the prison. However, before the shoot, Suriya asked me if we could postpone it for a month. I was wondering what difference it would make and hence reluctantly I said ‘ok’. But believe me, the kind of effort he put in to tone his body,Iwas zapped.”He says that he and Suriya didn’t look at Rakht Charitra (Hindi version) as the perfect launch pad for the actor in Bollywood.
  
  “It is just Suriya was excited and wanted to do something unique and unconventional.”“May be the kind of films I make sparks off controversy.” With the present trend of directors donning the grease paint, would he do it? “Oh, no!” he exclaims. “I get stiff even in front of a still camera.I find it strange to look at the camera and act.”
  
  [i]On toying with the idea of making yet another biopic on the late forest brigand Veerappan, he says, “I am working on the script. In fact,Imet his wife Muthulakshmi andhavetaken permission also. The biggest problem is to find an actor to match Veerappan’s face.[i] So,I may go in for a new face”. His next project titled Amma, is a fiction about Kalika Devi (Goddess Durga) and will be a trilingual — Tamil, Telugu and Hindi.

  I suggest Vaigai Puyal for the role of Veerappan !!

  Censor board warms up to stellar Suriya
  
  November 29th, 2010
  
  The censor board has given an ‘A’ certification to the much-hyped film, Rattha Saritthiram, which stars Suriya and is directed by Ram Gopal Varma. Dhayanidhi Alagiri’s Cloud Nine banner has presented the movie. An insider reveals that despite RGV’s efforts to get a ‘UA’ certificate, the censors had given three cuts and an ‘A’ certification as apparently they felt it had excess violence.
  
  However, the members who watched the film have lauded actor Suriya’s performance. One of them has reportedly said, ‘Actor Suriya’s feat is extraordinary and the way he has portrayed his character is outstanding, when compared to his past movies.’ They have also appreciated Ramu’s effective capturing of the real life story in its true essence, saying that they felt like they were going through the experiences in reality.

  SURIYA INTERVIEW
  Suriya, the most talented and bankable artist of current Tamil film industry, has completed Ram Gopal Varma’s Raktha Charithra, his first Telugu and Hindi project. The Tamil version Ratha Sarithiram will soon be out and in an exclusive interview to behindwoods.com, Suriya talks about the film.
  
  Dream
  
  Hi, I am very happy to discuss Ratha Sarithiram with behindwoods.com readers. You can call it a dream of 4-5 years. It was my long-cherished desire to work under Ram Gopal Varma’s direction and that too in Tamil. Now my dream has come true.
  
  What is Ratha Sarithiram about?
  
  This is a film about violence with action; a story about extreme emotions and hence the film will have its characteristic fast pace, fight sequences and anger. The most important thing about RC is - it is a biopic which is based on incidents that happened in Andhra Pradesh for over a period of 14-15 years. These have been compiled into two parts of 2.5 hours duration each. First part is already released which talked about Paritala Ravi. Suri is the one who stood against him and his story is narrated in the second part which alone would be released in Tamil. The second part begins with a crisp compilation of the first part for viewers to get an understanding about the first part.
  
  Your role
  
  I play Suri in Ratha Sarithiram . As it is based on a real-life incident, you can watch the film in a realistic manner. Ram Gopal Varma has brought before us all the characters sans cinematic elements. That’s the biggest plus point for the film. RGV has made all the characters behave in a different manner on screen.
  
  Vivek Oberoi
  
  It was a great experience to have worked with Vivek Oberoi. It was interesting to learn many things from him.
  
  How can the Tamil audience relate to something that happened in Andhra?
  
  I would like to repeat RGV’s answer for this.
  
  “Godfather which was about Italian mafia is engaging and interesting everywhere. There were 3 parts and the manner of narration and the behavior of characters in all the parts captivated the attention of audience. All the characters in the film were realistic and extreme. I have read various books on extreme people, mafia leaders, and terrorists of the world. But it was shocking to realize that, in India, in a place where I have lived, worse incidents have happened in somebody’s life which is beyond all those materials that I have read. That’s why I wanted to record this in the form of a feature film.”
  
  What is different in RC?
  Time plays a major role in the behavior of two characters and people surrounding them, their choice of incidents and their decisions. This has been told differently in this film by RGV who has deviated from the regular course of screen play. The way decisions change and the way reprisal of a person reaches the other and its effects due to time and people are presented in a special manner. I have not seen such visuals, such emotions and situations in our Tamil films. That’s why I wanted to do this film. I am sure there would be a novelty in the characters in the film, beyond what is being shown in the trailers. There would definitely be freshness and realism in this film.
  
  
  
  What kind of audience can see RC?
  Ratha Sarithiram is for a matured audience and definitely not for children. It is about enjoying RGV’s visuals and his characters in Tamil cinema. We shot for a month wherein every shot, every incident was very well planned, be it a single dialogue or a single frame. We have toiled very hard and created a Ram Gopal Varma’s Tamil film.
  
  Realism in Ratha Sarithiram
  I was first excited that I would be doing a Hindi film. I should admit that Ram Gopal Varma helped me reach this level. He has been suggesting many scripts for four years and when he came up with RC, I was not able to avoid it at all. His shooting process was very well planned and professional. As RGV had a good clarity on the script, we were neither tired at any point during shoot nor confused about any issue; be it the cameraman or the co-artiste or the entire crew. People may think that this film is about violence but it talks about the violence in life. There is no forced cinematic heroism in RC and it would be a take on real life. There would not be unnecessary elements adorned for cinema and you will see the anger of life around us in various dimensions in the film.
  
  
  
  
  There is no forced cinematic
  
  heroism in RC
  
  
  
  Priya Mani did
  
  a better job than me,
  
  
  
  Did you speak in all the three languages?
  We have shot in three languages - Hindi, Tamil and Telugu and it is not a dubbed film. I have spoken in all the three languages. My first take was only in Tamil so that I got the emotions right. It was a big process; first we translated the Hindi dialogues to English and locked the right Tamil words. This was done with the help of friends like Gnanavel and we spent around two hours every day on this. First we shot in Tamil, then Telugu and finally Hindi. I have completed Hindi dubbing also which took me around 4-5 days. I can say that the film is relatable to people in any of the three languages. Vivek Oberoi took pains to learn Tamil dialogues and spoke in it and so did Shatrughan Sinha. Priya Mani did a better job than me, having spoken in all the three languages.
  
  Lyrics and Songs
  
  I can go on and on about Muthukumar’s songs. ‘Kathi ethanai rathathai ariyum, ratham ethanai kathiyai ariyum enru’. He gave such sharp verses and around 5-6 options for every song. We did not know which to choose from. We made changes in Hindi and Telugu after listening to the Tamil lines. It was a new exercise for me as all along I was only acting in one language. I was able to get completely involved in the project. I had an opportunity to talk to RGV about Tamil dialogues and lyrics. Viveka’s lyrics also have come out well. I am not sure if you have listened to the songs but you will realize that it would not be like the usual films which again are a very characteristic style of Ram Gopal Varma’s films.
  
  Dialogues
  
  Just like the lyrics of the film, dialogues in RC also will not be very animated, forced or ornamented. They will just be normal. The manner of conveying emotions also will be very different in RGV’s films. I am sure the audience will get to watch a never-before-seen visuals, emotions and characters in RC. Ram Gopal Varma, who is such a renowned director of India, has done for the first time a Tamil film and I am sure his treat would be absolutely different.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Many firsts and the encouragement
  For Ram Gopal Varma, RC is the first Tamil film and for me this happens to be my first Hindi and Telugu film. I remember vividly what Prakash Raj sir told me while we were shooting in Kutralam for Singam when I told him I was learning Hindi for RC. He said, “You have a big responsibility as you are representing the entire Tamil community.” He wished me luck and asked me to dub for myself in Hindi too. As the character was a south Indian speaking Hindi, he said accent errors would be forgiven. I am able to say that I have given my best for RC with of course RGV’s encouragement. I was completely satisfied after I finished dubbing.
  
  Time factor and retribution
  
  I liked the time factor in this film where the dimensions of retribution have been covered in all possible angles unlike other films.. The deep-rooted feeling of vengeance and its aftermath have been portrayed well. Such events are generally superficially covered in other films but RC takes a different course.
  
  The dialogues are not written by a writer, the story is not created by a film maker but someone really, truly, lived a life like that amidst all pressures. That’s why every moment in the film was special and real to me. I am sure this film is going to showcase somebody’s life which has been affected by revenge. It is just not mindless violence speckled over the frame.
  
  RGV has played ‘time’ as a character in an undercurrent manner. How time changes a man, his thought process, his decisions is clearly portrayed in Raktha Charithra through Ram Gopal Varma’s craftsmanship in every field, not only in dialogues, not only in visuals but also in music, design and editing too.
  
  
  I am sure Ratha Sarithiram is going to be a treat of a different kind!

  Suriya and RGV take TN by storm!
  
  Suriya, Ram Gopal Varma and Cloud Nine are aggressively promoting their Raktha Charithram in Tamil Nadu B-tier towns of Coimbatore and Madurai.
  
  It was a unique campaign for RC scheduled to release on Friday, December 3.
  
  RGV said: "The marketing of RC should reach across TN, so we held promotional tours in Madurai and Coimbatore traditional citadels of popular cinema. The experience was out of the world. I have never seen this kind of crowds, and Suriya's reach is phenomenal."
  
  Meanwhile Suriya and RGV charmed Madurai and Coimbatore, where they preferred to promote their films. Both the events took place the same day, thanks to Cloud Nine arranging a chartered flight.

  But the focus is on South superstar Suriya in RAKHT CHARITRA 2. He delivers, without doubt, one of the most aggressive and forceful performances Hindi cinema has witnessed this year. I am sure, Suriya will woo not just his Tamil fans with his tremendous performance, but also find a new audience base with RAKHT CHARITRA 2: The Hindi movie-going audience. Southern superstar Suriya is a welcome addition to the ranks of A-list heroes in the Hindi film industry

  Final word? Much more engrossing and gripping than RAKHT CHARITRA 1.

  Ratha Sarithram
  had expectations after watching part 1.....the movie begins with the brush up of ravi's rise then the actual movie begins..the pace of the movieat certain points like the flashback of surya is a bit dragging..since RGV has only one point in the film that is surya has to kill ravi..he tries to hold up the entire film around this point..but its more a one way show..ravi is helpless in this..unlike part 1..suri is too strong for ravi..the one on one battle doesn stand for long..ravi starts losing from the very beginning...RGV fails to hold this one on one battle which i thought he was very convincing in his "shiva"..
  
  vivek oberoi was good..but is being dominated by surya's charecter.
  
  surya-comesup with a convincing performance..he is the only reason to make people sit throughout the film..it is his film...this is the first performance i liked from surya after his ayutha ezhuthu..his body language,expressions through his eyes..esp the last scene rgv has done a gud job in extracting the best from him..gvm,kvanand ellam rgv kitte kathukonga
  overall the movie with all its action+rgv's trade mark touches and surya's powerful performance makes it worth a watch

  ‘ Why isn’t RGV taking my call ? ’
  
  Speaking exclusively to Bangalore Mirror, Suri says he is not happy with a couple of scenes in ‘Rakta Charitra II’
  
  Sridhar Vivan
  Sunday, December 05, 2010
  
  After watching the movie on Thursday night, Suri felt that RGV had not picturised a few scenes correctly. Suri spoke exclusively to Bangalore Mirror about his objections.
  
  Maddelachervu Suryanarayana Reddy alias Suri has been trying to contact Ram Gopal Varma ever since he watched the movie. His first grouse is about the TV blast scene. Suri says, “The whole of Anantapur, for that matter the entire Andhra Pradesh, knows that it was Paritala Ravi who plotted the TV blast inmyhouse.“How can RGVshow that it was done without the knowledge of Pratap Ravi (the character played by Vivek Oberoi based on slain TDP MLA Paritala Ravi)?”
  
  Secondly, the movie shows his wife Bhanumati (character essayed by actor Priyamani) getting support from the TDP government and being provided with a gunman. “But, this was not the case in reality,” Suri insisted.
  
  He has been trying to contact Ram Gopal Varma ever since he watched the movie. “I want to speak to RGV. I had raised a few objections when ‘Rakta Charitra 1’ was released.“Then, RGV had asked me to wait till the release of the sequel as Suri did not have a role in the first part. Now, when I want to speak to him. “But, I will not rest until I speak to him and get my point across.”Suri wanted to watch the movie in his hometown Anantapur, but could not as he has been barred from entering the district by the administration. The best alternative he could think of was Bangalore.
  
  One good thing has emerged out of the episode.“I have become a big fan of Suriya (the Tamil actor who portrays Suri). He is the perfect choice for the character,” he says. “I greatly appreciate the scene before the interval where the director has shown the horror and sadness in the eyes of Suriya [after some family members are killed in bomb blast in their home].“The scene speaks volumes about how an actor can convey the pain of losing dear ones without actually showing the death of the people.”
  
  Plot of Rakta Charitra :
  
  Raktha Charitra is based on the factional feuds in Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh. It is a portrayal of the life of TDP MLA and minister Paritala Ravi (pic, above) who was murdered by rivals. The first part shows Ravi (the character essayed by Vivek Oberoi) avenging the murders of his father and brother by their political rivals. In the process, he also gets into politics.

  Somebody asked me abt nandhala after the film and i said " it was OK " , but couple of days later , after i recollected the visuals , i was tempted to see once more .
  
  Quite the opposite for this movie . Overall, i liked this film, but after couple of hours if someone asks if i will see again, it s big NO. There are reasons for it .
  
  
  A quick review of the film ..
  
  1) There is this scene , where Vivek's wife pleads vivek not to kill Priyamani ( surya's wife) and at the death of the moment , vivek decides and calls the aide to not to shoot her . A minute later , you see Vivek's wife , understanding the fact that vivek's aide was killed while attempting to shoot Priyamani , tells that she can't understand this and she will abide by whatever Vivek Oberoi does. That in my view is the whole jist of the film -people's principles are twisted based on the situations !
  
  2) The direction was superb in most sequences , esp the scene where vivek oberoi's men attack the police station . While Slow motion is probably a DNA for RGV , why use it for action scenes that neither drives the plot nor makes it for a visual treat - it only helps children count the abs in surya, pity thats only 6 and hence even thats boring.
  
  3) Mixed feeling of watching a dubbed & straight tamizh movie - why the hell all the characters have a deep throated voice ?
  
  4) The scene where surya's family is wiped out is amazingly shot without showing any gore in that part of the film - thats quite a paradox , considering you need atleast 10 bottles of blood for what was spilled in other scenes.
  
  5 ) The characters are quite etched well , and surya , vivek obroi show good performances to engage us for a reasonable time.
  
  -> there is this scene where vivek decides to be a chanakya and starts the process of white with his enemies. In this process, he meets surya in jail and the whole scene is enacted, directed well - but why the hell , the noise creators ( read MD ) , don't follow the scene , characters and just add a plain apocalypse type music throughout it ? For this very reason, i cant see this movie once more . People may disagree with me here - the only sour point in this movie was the music - it sub consciously makes you tired !!!

  Maddelachervu Suryanarayana Reddy alias Suri has been trying to contact Ram Gopal Varma ever since he watched the movie. His first grouse is about the TV blast scene. Suri says, “The whole of Anantapur, for that matter the entire Andhra Pradesh, knows that it was Paritala Ravi who plotted the TV blast inmyhouse.“How can RGVshow that it was done without the knowledge of Pratap Ravi (the character played by Vivek Oberoi based on slain TDP MLA Paritala Ravi)?”
  
  “I greatly appreciate the scene before the interval where the director has shown the horror and sadness in the eyes of Suriya [after some family members are killed in bomb blast in their home].“The scene speaks volumes about how an actor can convey the pain of losing dear ones without actually showing the death of the people.” [/b][/i]
  
  Plot of Rakta Charitra :

  precisely, that's RGV's point . All characters , on an emotional tone to what has happened to their life , quickly come to conclusions , based on the perceptions of other's character. That's what RGV has shown . full marks to RGV !!

  This is one of my most anticipated movies. While reading everything leading to the movie, I did not read any reviews or even the real history of the story, so that I can see/hear everything for the first time.
  
  Finally managed to watch it today. Quite a let-down, with Surya alone being the saving grace.
  
  Movie started like a documentary and didnt move beyond. Extremely LAZY screenplay by RGV opting for VOs and BGM to cover-up his lackings. And the slow motions really stretches one's patience.
  
  Maybe, he should have made ONE film instead of trying to milk every single thing and make it into two movies.
  
  Yes, the film if gory and bloody, but really didn't affect me at all. There was no shock moment and worse still, no emotional attachment.
  
  Among the various violent moments, only the jail scene stood out, largely by Surya's build, dedication and eyes.
  
  And why the insistence of using Tamilnadu when it comes across so fake? Why can't it just happen in Andhra Pradesh?
  
  The sickening rotating of the camera is so amateurish.
  
  Conclusion: A good story badly told. If you want to watch, only do so for Surya.

  Amidst tight security, suri watches his own Rakta Charitra
  
  Maddalacheruvu Suri travels all the way from Hyderabad with his supporters in tow, in a convoy of 50 Sumos; books a multiplex to catch the flick based on his violent life
  
  Hemanth.Kashyap@timesgroup.com
  
  Posted On Sunday, December 05, 2010 at 01:53:59 AM
  
  Had Ram Gopal Varma, with a string of flops to his credit since Sarkar, known that the multitude in front of Mantri Mall on Thursday night was waiting for a special screening of his latest release, Rakta Charitra- II, he would have been shocked.
  
  
  Maddalacheruvu Suri at the Mantri Mall. His wife Bhanumati and son Harshvardhan Reddy watched the flick at the Cauvery theatre
  
  The mall at Malleswaram – which houses the Inox multiplex — swarmed with several men. A few minutes before the 9.30 pm show was to begin in one of the screening halls, a group of tough-looking men walked in and gave it a thorough scan.
  They were taking no chances, as they were preparing for a special screening of the Telugu version of the flick for their leader, Maddalachervu Suri, the protagonist, played on screen by Tamil superstar Suriya.
  
  The men were escorting Suri who is accused of murdering Paritala Ravi. A TDP MLA, Ravi had a long-standing feud with Suri. He was murdered a few years ago. Now, Suri fears a threat to his life from Ravi’s followers in Anantapur region of neighbouring Andhra Pradesh.
  
  The movie, which focuses on their rivalry, could not be released in a few parts of Anantapur district due to violence and tension. So, associates of Suri ‘anna’ came all the way on a 700-km drive from Hyderabad to Bangalore to watch the exclusive show. The irony was more than 100 armed men – but not blatantly – kept guard outside while Suri and many of his friends and followers were watching the flick, described as ‘too violent’ by critics and movie-goers.
  
  “We organised the screening of the movie in the city due to security reasons,’’ Babu Rajendra Prasad, a distant relative of Suri who stays in Yelahanka, told Bangalore Mirror. “We organised a three-tier security. The first was stationed around the mall to guard our vehicles and keep an eye on rivals.”
  
  “The second took positions outside the screening hall. The third tier comprised people sitting inside the hall with Anna.”
  Sources said that even the snacks and beverages sent inside were thoroughly examined before being served to Anna.
  
  It was not at all safe for him to watch the movie anywhere else, and plans had to be made for him to catch the movie in Bangalore. Speaking to Bangalore Mirror, Suri said, “Some of the incidents were close to the way they happened.”
  
  In nearby Palace Road, a somewhat similar scene had played out a few hours earlier at Cauvery theatre, when Suri’s wife Bhanumati and son Harshvardhan Reddy went to watch the movie.
  
  A large number of Suri's supporters had come to Bangalore from neighbouring Anantapur-Penugonda region in Andhra Pradesh in more than 50 vehicles
  
  
  Their associates had booked the theatre for a special screening as the duo were accompanied by a large number of Suri’s supporters, who had come from neighbouring Anantapur-Penukonda region, in more than 50 vehicles.
  
  They raised slogans praising Suri before entering the theatre and while leaving. It was a rather unusual experience for other cine-goers who had come to watch movies in other theatres nearby.
  
  Among the visitors were Anantapur Congress leader Madhu Mohan Reddy and Punganur ex-MLA Sridar Reddy. Apart from them, giving company to Suri in the movie hall at Malleshwaram were Yelahanka MLA S R Vishwanath and Surpur MLA Raju Gowda.

  Regarding movie, i think movie's actual running time would be around 1 hr. By running it in slow motion from starting to end they made it look like a 2:25 hrs movie. Performance wise i felt both Surya and Vivek were equally good. Couple of scenes were engaging.
  
  Going to be the first flop for Surya after 3 consecutive hits. Best of luck Surya for your 7th sense.

  Suriya’s Bollywood entry seems to have come at a cost for him. Despite the promising promos, his role is not an extensive one that runs throughout the movie. However, the gripping political thriller has showcased the actor’s potential in a different light (only next to his performance in Nanda) as a bloodthirsty man.

  Although the reviews have been fairly good, the movie is yet to pick up at the centers.

  Typical NI mentality- they never fail to pass unwarranted and biased comments on South
  
  

  The killer in a sari runs across. Surya flattens him out with a fat lawbook, kills with a farmer's axe. It's hilarious! The superstar's fanbase down south may love it, I don't know. Regional cinema has its own poetic grammar. It’s just distressing to sense, that’s where Varma belongs now. Huh. Really?

  Seriously, people who make a ridiculous film like Dabbang a super duper hit, should refrain from commenting on South's taste in movies.

  Mayank gave a good review on endhiran. I was surprised because he used to write for mumbai mirror and his standard line of thought is along the lines of this review - sambar superstar, a coinage he has used for rajini before, regional films being of lesser taste etc.
  I exped surprise to groucho that sucha character had glowingly reviewed endhiran - given his total comic image of rajini, that was an anomaly.
  I think i know what that means now - now that he has gone back to his original self for a south movie that is not backed by big money, big muscle producers.
  
  Grouch, i told you .

  ஒரிஜினல் ரத்தத்தில் தயாரிக்கப்பட்ட ஆந்திரா அல்வா!
  
  அரசியல் காரணங்களுக்காக குடும்பத்தையே கொலை செய்தவனின் டோட்டல் கேங்கையும் சூர்யா காலி செய்யும் கதை.
  
  காதல், கலாட்டா, அமானுஷ்யம் என்று ஆர்.ஜி.வி. (ராம்கோபால் வர்மா) படம் என்றாலே ஏதோ ஓர் அதிரடி இருக்குமென்று இந்திய ரசிகர்களுக்குத் தெரியும். இந்தப் படம் அடிதடி!
  
  ஆந்திராவில் நடந்த உண்மைக்கதையை தமிழ், தெலுங்கு, இந்தி என்று இந்தியா முழுவதும் அவிழ்த்து விட்டிருக்கிறார். அதனால் சூர்யா, விவேக் ஓபராய், சத்ருகன் சின்ஹா, கோட்டா சீனிவாசராவ் என்று மாநிலத்திற்குச் சில முகங்களாகப் போட்டு பிஸினஸ்!
  
  அடாசு கதையாக இருந்தாலும் சபாஷு போடும்படி நடிக்க சூர்யாவால் மட்டும்தான் முடியும். அதுவும் அவரது அம்மா, தம்பி, தங்கையை வில்லன் கொடூரமாய்ப் போட்டுத் தள்ளிவிட அந்தக் காட்சியை நமக்குக் காண்பிக்காமலேயே, கண்கள், உதடு, மூக்கு, காது என்றும் அனைத்தும் நடுங்கி நடிக்க தூணில் முட்டிக்கொண்டு கதறுகிறாரே, கமலுக்கு அடுத்தபடியாய் சூர்யாவைத் தவிர யாராலும் இப்படிப் பண்ணமுடியாது.
  
  வில்லனை அட்டாக் செய்துவிட்டு காரில் திரும்பும்போது ஒரு விநாடி புன்னகையும், மறுவிநாடி அழுகையுமாய் சூர்யாவின் முகம் மாறுகிறதே... சான்ஸே இல்லை!
  
  சூர்யாவுடன் போட்டி போட்டு நடித்திருக்கிறார் விவேக் ஓபராய். திடீரென அவர் திருந்த முயற்சிப்பது மட்டும் நம்பமுடியவில்லை.
  
  கொஞ்ச நேரம் வந்தாலும் ப்ரியாமணி, நினைவில் பதிகிறார்.
  
  வசனம் பல இடங்களில் கைதட்டல்களை பெற்றுத் தருகிறது.‘நான் சாவைக் கண்டு பயப்படல.அவன் சாகறதுக்கு முன்னாடி செத்துடக்-கூடாதேன்னு பயப்படறேன்’ என்று சூர்யா சொல்லும்போதும், சிறையில் ஒரு கைதி, சூர்யாவின் கதையைக் கேட்டுவிட்டு ‘ஒரு ஆம்பிளைக்கு முத்தம் கொடுக்கணும்னு இப்ப தோணுதுடா!’ என்று சொல்லும்போதும் தியேட்டரில் விசில்!
  
  என்னதான் அடிதடி படம் என்றாலும் இத்தனை கொடூரமாய் ரத்தத்தையும், சதையையும் காண்பித்திருக்கவேண்டுமா? ஒவ்வொரு காட்சியிலும் பத்துப் பேர் இருபது பேரைப் போட்டுத் தள்ளுகிறார்கள் அல்லது இருபது பேர், பத்துப் பேரைக் காலி செய்கிறார்கள்.மொத்தமாய் எத்தனை பேரைக் கொன்றிருக்கிறார்கள் என்று ஒரு போட்டியே நடத்தலாம்.
  
  படம் முடிந்ததும் வீட்டுக்குப்போய்,மேலே ஒட்டியிருக்கும் ரத்தக் கறைகள் தீர நன்றாகத் தேய்த்துக் குளிக்கத் தோன்றுகிறது.
  
  சிவப்பு நிறைந்த நகரத்தின் தூசிகளைக் கூடப் புறக்கணிக்காத அமோல் ராத்தோடின் கேமராவும், விவேக் ஓபராயின் மனைவியாக வரும், ராதிகா ஆப்தேவும் பளிச்!
  
  தெலுங்கு டப்பிங் படத்தைப் பார்க்கும் உணர்வு படம் முழுவதும் இருக்கிறது.
  
  என்ன இருந்தாலும் சூர்யாவுக்காக ஒரு தடவை பார்க்கலாம்.

  Thanks VITHAGAN,
  
  Heavy Rains in Chennai have ruined the weekend box-office. Both the Tamil releases Raktha Charithram and Chikku Bukku have been badly affected by the rains, as people just could not reach the theatres.
  
  Raktha Charithram is at number one position netting approximately Rs 65 lakhs from 15 Chennai screens. But the film carries mixed reports due to excessive violence and RGV has to thank Suriya for the opening.
  
  Raktha Charithiram
  Cast :Suriya, Vivek Oberoi, Priya Mani, Radhika
  Director:Ram Gopal Varma
  PLUS :Suriya, Suriya, Suriya
  MINUS :Too violent and gory
  Trade Facts ecent opening

  This story starts in the mid-to-late 70s with Ravi's father and brother patronising naxalites against Landlords(havent seent he movie - talking abotu the real story)
  
  Majority of the events depicted in the movie if they are related to Ravi's initiation into killings and subsequent growth will be in 80's and upto mid 90s.
  
  I think as per what I read, the movie takes liberties with NTR character and allows him to live until Ravi's death but in real life, Naidu took over from NTR as Ravi's patron.
  
  Ravi's father's story was taken as a commercial potboiler by Mohanbabu as "Sriramulaiah" in the late 90s.
  Infact, it was during the muhurat ceremony of this movie that a car bomb attack was made by Suri on Ravi.

  I am not pinning social responsibility to creative personalities, but I couldnt understand the motive behind this entire "Ratha charithram" drama. If he wanted to go layers behind the socio economic politics behind the culture of violence in Andhra, then there are far better ways to show that. The whole RC promos, stills, trailers seemingly had an "exploitative" angle to it. It is ok in a mature movie audience, but in our country, where the audience are mostly still in Alam aara era, it is an exercise fraught with trappings. And the age old adage "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread" comes true again, with RGV gleefully proving that his of the "rushing" variety in this case.
