Ram Gopal Varma's Latest Remarks About Nagarjuna Are Quite Surprising
While speaking at the Officer pre-release event, Ram Gopal Varma said that he feels humbled to have a 'good man' like Nagarjuna in his life. Officer is slated to hit screens on June 1, 2018.
Noted
film-maker
Ram
Gopal
Varma
is
going
through
a
difficult
phase
on
the
professional
front.
His
last
few
releases
have
failed
to
impress
fans
and
critics
alike.
To
make
things
worse,
most
of
them
have
failed
to
make
any
impact
at
the
ticket
window.
Now,
with
Officer,
the
director
hopes
to
get
his
career
back
on
track.
The
film
is
a
cop-drama
and
features
veteran
Telugu
star
Nagarjuna
in
the
lead
role.
Its
teasers
have
created
some
curiosity
amongst
fans
and
that
might
help
it
do
decent
business
at
the
box
office.
During
the
film's
pre-release
event,
an
emotional
RGV
said
that
he
is
happy
a
'good
man'
decided
to
be
a
part
of
his
life.
The
Antham
director
added
that
he
hasn't
done
many
good
things
in
life
and
hence
feels
blessed
to
be
associated
with
Tollywood's
'Don'.
"A
lot
of
people
wish
to
become
film-makers
but
not
many
get
the
opportunities
to
pursue
that.
In
life,
there
has
to
be
a
person
who
can
give
you
those
opportunities.
I
haven't
done
any
good
things
in
life,
haven't
respected
elders,
haven't
prayed
to
god
ever.
And
despite
me
not
doing
any
good
deeds
in
life,
I
got
a
good
man
called
Nagarjuna
in
my
life," he
added.
Interestingly,
unlike
some
of
RGV's
trademark
remarks,
this
one
is
rather
heart-warming.
And,
it
may
take
his
fans
by
surprise.
In
case
you
did
not
know,
in
1989
Varma
and
Nagarjuna
had
teamed
up
for
Siva
and
redefined
the
very
tenets
of
Telugu
cinema.
A
crime-drama,
it
is
regarded
as
one
of
the
greatest
films
of
its
times.
Needless
to
say,
movie
buffs
are
bound
to
have
high
expectations
from
Officer
and
it
will
be
worth
watching
if
the
film
clicks
with
the
audience.
On
a
related
note,
Officer
is
Nagarjuna's
first
release
of
the
year.
He
was
last
seen
in
Raju
Gari
Gadhi
2,
which
released
in
2017
and
did
reasonably
well
at
the
box
office.
A
horror-comedy,
it
was
directed
by
Ohmkar
and
also
had
actress
Samantha
Akkineni
in
the
lead.
