Ram
Gopal
Varma
was
all
set
to
begin
his
ambitious
venture
Rann
starring
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Ritesh
Deshmukh,
Gul
Panag
and
Manisha
Koirala
in
early
January
2009
but
it
seems
he
has
decided
to
put
aside
this
film
which
was
meant
to
be
his
take
on
the
Indian
media
and
now
concentrate
on
making
a
thriller!
Titled,
Agyaat,
Ramu
intends
to
start
the
film
in
December
and
finish
the
principal
photography
by
January
1st
week.
There
are
going
to
be
a
lot
of
Special
EFX
work
after
that
which
will
take
as
long
as
is
required
to
get
the
intended
effect.
The
movie
will
be
ready
for
release
in
May/June
2009.
The
plot
of
Agyaat
according
to
Ramu,
-
A
film
unit
on
a
shoot
in
a
far
away
land
and
in
a
certain
situation
gets
trapped
deep
in
a
forest
and
one
by
one
the
members
start
getting
killed.
They
all
are
terrified
not
knowing
whether
it
is
a
man
or
an
animal
or
a
creature
or
what?
Why
I
selected
a
film
unit
to
be
the
protagonists
for
this
story
is
because
a
film
unit
is
literally
like
a
walking
office
in
terms
of
its
various
hierarchical
elements.
A
star
who
is
obsessed
with
himself,
a
leading
lady
who
bears
with
him
because
of
his
stardom,
a
director
who
thinks
he
will
be
the
next
Steven
Spielberg,
a
producer
who
thinks
that
the
director
is
screwing
up
his
film,
an
assistant
director
who
has
a
crush
on
the
heroine,
a
script
girl
who
has
quite
a
few
things
for
the
assistant
director,
a
frustrated
action
director
who
has
a
hidden
maniacal
streak
in
him,
a
highly
subservient
spot
boy
with
a
very
perverted
agenda,
are
just
a
few
of
the
assorted
characters
in
this
story.
Whatever
the
entity
is
as
it
hunts
them
down,
their
suppressed
passions
come
forth
and
they
realize
that
it
is
not
only
their
lives
they
are
fighting
for
but
it
is
also
for
their
loves.
As
they
are
killed
one
after
the
other
the
remaining
desperate
characters
struggle
to
survive
the
entity
which
is
not
visible
to
them,
faster
than
them,
smarter
than
them
and
hell
bent
on
destroying
them.
The
film
will
be
very
near
to
a
reality
show
in
a
certain
sense
as
in
putting
a
set
of
people
in
a
certain
situation
and
to
see
what
happens
to
them.
It
will
have
a
cast
of
unknown
or
little
known
actors
based
on
the
complete
suitability
of
the
way
the
characters
are
written
in
the
script.
The
entity
in
the
film
is
really
a
premise
and
what
really
is
exciting
for
me
in
the
story
is
the
human
drama
of
how
in
a
given
situation
the
whole
film
unit's
hierarchical
differences
get
erased
and
all
of
them
become
as
human
as
anybody
else
when
faced
with
death.
To
capture
how
their
attitudes,
personalities
and
inter-relationships
change
rapidly
in
the
face
of
the
impending
danger
is
what
for
me
is
the
most
exciting
and
challenging
part.
