Rangeela: Ram Gopal Varma Says The Film Was Made To Capture Urmila Matondkar's Beauty

Ram Gopal Says He Will Never Retouch Rangeela And Satya

"Honestly speaking, in all the films that I made in my career and there are plenty of them, I feel I could not have made only Rangeela and Satya better than what they are. Rangeela and Satya were near perfect, so I don't think I would make them again," the filmmaker told PTI.

"Aamir's character was based on a guy I knew in college. It's exactly his story, the way the film turned out to be. Aamir is a meticulous, methodical, actor and he takes his characters seriously, like what kind of clothes they should wear and what would be the accent. He worked with (actor-writer) Neeraj Vohra to work on the lines. Full credit to him for that," the filmmaker revealed to the news agency.

The filmmaker said, "I don't think he even listens to the story. He just goes by some gut instinct.

It was his way of saying that he loved the ending."

Ram Gopal Varma was quoted as saying," Aamir and I used to discuss the title a lot. I remember we were walking down the lobby of a hotel after the shoot and out of the blue I said Rangeela.
