After
a
hiatus,
Ram
Gopal
Varma
will
be
back
in
the
business
of
making
films
with
a
vengeance.
He
will
soon
be
flagging
off
multiple
films
next
year
(2011)
where
he
won't
necessarily
be
coming
behind
the
camera
as
a
director.
"That's
true,
I
can't
sit
quite
for
long.
I
have
to
start
new
productions
now," confirms
Ramu,
whose
last
production
without
him
as
a
director,
was
ill
fated
Go
(2007).
On
the
other
hand,
his
other
production
Shabri
is
stuck
in
the
cans
for
years.
There
was
a
time
when
Ram
Gopal
Varma
was
busy
giving
breaks
to
number
of
first
time
directors.
They
could
have
ranged
from
spot
boys
to
assistant
directors
to
writers
but
anyone
with
promise,
who
caught
fancy
of
Ramu,
had
good
opportunity
to
get
a
film
for
himself.
"However,
the
results
weren't
always
favourable",
comments
an
industry
veteran,
"Look
at
the
line
up
of
such
films
with
first
time
directors.
Except
for
Shimit
Amin
(Ab
Tak
Chappan),
Sriram
Raghavan
(Ek
Hasina
Thi)
and
to
some
extent
Chandan
Arora
(Main
Madhuri
Dixit
Banana
Chahti
Hoon)
and
E.
Niwas
(Shool),
none
of
the
others
managed
to
make
any
niche
for
themselves."
His
argument
does
make
sense.
After
all,
post
their
debut
films,
the
makers
of
Pyaar
Tuyne
Kya
Kiya,
Road,
Gayab,
My
Wife's
Murder,
James,
Mr
Ya
Miss
and
Go
have
hardly
made
much
mark
in
Bollywood
over
the
decade
gone
by.
"Ramu
went
back
to
directing
each
of
his
last
few
productions,
whether
Rakta
Charitra,
Agyaat,
Sarkar
Raj,
Sarkar,
Ram
Gopal
Varma
Ki
Aag,
Nishabd
or
Shiva
in
the
interim
period,"
adds
the
veteran.
However,
as
things
stand
today,
Ramu
is
pretty
gung
ho
about
making
films
with
other
directors
and
is
all
set
to
announce
his
plans.
When
asked
to
comment
on
the
concrete
timelines,
Ramu
said,
"It
is
a
little
too
early
to
divulge
the
whole
plan.
Announcement
around
the
new
line
up
would
be
made
soon.
Just
wait
a
little."
We
hope
the
wait
is
indeed
worth
it,
Ramu!
