Sudeep
is
now
busy
working
for
his
first
Hindi
film
Phoonk,
which
is
directed
by
Ram
Gopal
Varma.
And
the
film
is
a
horror
thriller,
the
genre
Ram
Gopal
Varma
is
famous
for.
Sudeep
has
Amrita,
a
talented
Marathi
stage
actress
as
his
heroine.
Ram
Gopal
Varma
had
gone
into
shell
after
the
debacle
of
his
most
expected
film
Aag
with
big
stars
like
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Ajay
Devgan.
In
this
remake
of
block
buster
Sholay,
Amitabh
played
villain
Gabbar
Singh's
role.
And
many
people
in
the
Hindi
film
industry
thought
that
Ram
Gopal
Varma
couldn't
come
out
of
the
shock.
But
that
is
about
to
change.
The
filmmaker
is
back
with
a
horror
film
tentatively
called
Phoonk,
which
will
be
produced
by
One
More
Thought
Entertainment
with
Sudeep
as
the
hero.
Amar
Mohli
who
had
worked
as
a
music
director
of
films
like
Sarkar
and
Sarkar
Raj
is
composing
music
for
Phoonk.
The
camera
work
is
handled
by
a
female
cinematographer
Savitha.
The
speciality
of
the
film
is
that
Ram
Gopal
Varma
has
been
given
full
freedom
to
make
the
film
the
way
he
desires.
And
there
has
been
no
budget
constraints.
The
film
will
be
produced
by
ex-K
Sera
Sera
partner
Azam
khan
along
with
industrialist-turned
filmmaker,
Parvez
Damania.
And
Ramu,
it
seems
will
be
given
all
the
creative
liberties
to
make
the
film.
He
is
one
amongst
different
directors
roped
in
by
One
More
Thought
Entertainment
to
direct
the
production
company"s
film.
The
company
has
decided
to
make
nine
films
in
a
span
of
two
years
and
would
be
signing
more
directors
in
the
days
to
come.
And
right
now,
it's
Ramu's
turn.
The
director
who
disappeared
after
the
disastrous
box
office
performance
of
his
Ram
Gopal
Varma
Ki
Aag,
has
also
agreed
to
do
two
more
films
for
the
company
after
Phoonk.
And
as
a
token
gesture,
the
company
decided
to
gift
Ramu
a
Lexus
car.
Phoonk
is
being
shot
in
Mumbai
studios
and
some
out
door
spots
in
Mumbai
now.
The
film
will
also
be
made
in
Telugu
and
will
be
produced
under
his
Ramu"s
technical
supervision.
Sources
said
that
Ramu
is
keen
to
make
a
horror
film
as
it
has
been
a
while
since
he
made
one
after
the
2003
hit
Bhoot
which
starred
Ajay
Devgan
and
Urmila
Matondkar.
