Ram
Gopal
Varma
with
whom
Vivek
Oberoi
is
working
again
in
Rakta
Charitra
is
one
of
the
many
people
the
actor
fell
out
with.
The
two
have
now
become
the
closest
of
friends.
They
even
converse
in
Telugu,
Ramu's
mother
tongue
which
Vivek
learnt
for
Rakta
Charitra.
The
two
are
now
working
on
another
project
together.
Says
Vivek
emotionally,
"Ramuji
was
angry.
And
rightly
so.
He
had
picked
me
up
from
nowhere
and
made
me
a
star.
He
was
embittered
by
the
way
I
turned.
I
lost
a
lot
of
my
friends.
And
that
included
Ramuji." Now
the
two
are
back
on
an
even
pitch.
And
planning
at
least
two
more
films
together.
Vivek
flew
the
theatrical
trailer
of
his
new
film
Prince
to
Hyderabad
where
Ram
Gopal
Varma
was
shooting
with
Vivek.
Says
Vivek,
"Ramuji
booked
a
theatre
at
the
Ramuji
Rao
film
city
in
Hyderabad
to
watch
it.
Not
just
that.
I
left
the
theatre
after
a
while
since
late
nights
don't
suit
me.
I
had
a
shoot
in
the
morning.
But
my
director
chose
to
stay
on
watching
the
trailer
over
and
over
again.
Ramuji
has
always
been
a
mentor.
I'm
sorry
if
I
let
him
down
in
the
past."
Shatrughan
Sinha
who
forms
the
third
party
in
the
new
Ramu-Vivek
alliance
too
watched
the
trailer
with
Ramu.
Vivek
just
can't
stop
raving
about
his
Rakta
Charitra
co-star
Shatrughan
Sinha.
"He's
so
generous
and
warm.
He
makes
me
feel
so
special
every
day
on
the
sets.
He's
an
inspiration.
I
call
him
Super
Sarkar.
He's
so
larger-than-life.
He's
the
only
politician
who
is
never
politically
correct."
Vivek
is
gearing
himself
for
the
release
of
his
next
film
Prince
which
is
rumoured
to
be
a
remake
of
the
1960s' Shammi
Kapoor
starrer
Prince.
Chortles
Vivek,
"Ha
ha.
I
wish.
People
feel
it
might
be
a
takeoff
on
Shammi
Kapoorji
in
Prince,
or
they
feel
it
is
a
costume
drama.
Let
them
see
what
it
is.
I
don't
want
to
give
away
the
plot.
Hats
off
to
Kumar
Tauraniji
for
having
faith
in
me.
I
knew
it
would
be
risky.
He
pulled
out
all
the
stops
to
make
Prince
look
lavish."
Incidentally,
Vivek
is
the
only
protege
whom
Ramu
has
chosen
to
patch
up
with.
The
ones
he
has
had
permanent
fall-outs
with
include
Manoj
Bajpai,
Aftab
Shivdasani,
Randeep
Hooda
and
Mohit
Ahlawat.
Reacting
to
rumours
of
a
patch-up
with
Bajpai,
Ramu
retorts,
"Mere
itne
bhi
bure
din
nahin
aaye
hain."
