Mumbai
(UNI):
Film
Director
Ram
Gopal
Varma
says
films
that
he
makes
are
a
reflection
of
the
times
we
live
in
and
his
latest
creation
Shiva
reflects
corruption.
''Fifteen
years
ago,
I
made
a
film,
by
the
same,
with
Nagarjuna
and
at
that
time
violence
was
like
children's
nursery
rhyme",
he
said.
My
films
have
no
bloodsheds
because
I
do
not
like
the
sight
of
blood",
he
said.
If
I
want
to
convey
a
message,
I
will
send
an
SMS
rather
than
making
a
film.
The
aim
of
movies
is
to
entertain
and
create
an
emotional
experience.
The
message
should
be
inherent",
Varma
said.
''My old film Shiva delved into the disillusionment with our educational institutions, which often led to violence and turmoil on the campus. However, the new flick will look into law keeping system through the eyes of the man, who has freshly joined the police force and how his ideals clash with the harsh reality at his work place the director said. He admitted to overdramatising his films saying, ''I have made Shool and Ab Tak Chhapan, which had drama as an inherent part.
But the intention was to bring back the intense hero who ruled the 70s and 80s before they were sent into oblivion by the sugar-sweet romantic films.'' Shiva is an attempt to reinvent that genre of films. I want to capture the spirit when one man takes on the system even when his principles and convictions are under threat, he said. ''With a completely updated script and today's technical advances, I seek to capture that element of anger present in all of us.'' ''Most of us accept injustice mutely. But once-in-a-while a rebel comes along who hits back. That rebel who all of us want is Shiva,'' he added.
