Ram Gopal Varma announces new film 'Shashikala'

  • Ram Gopal Varma announces new film 'Shashikala'
Ram Gopal Varma has announced his next movie titled "Shashikala", and says it is the story of a "dearest closest friend of a politician". The title and plot suggests the film has a lot to do with former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa's close aide V.K. Sasikala but the filmmaker says the project is "fictional".
 
Varma on Thursday night announced the title of the film. 
 
He tweeted: "Just registered my new film title 'Shashikala'. It's the story of a very dearest closest friend of a politician and completely fictional." 
 
Known for helming movies on real life incidents, Varma added: "'Shashikala' is going to be a very very sincere from the heart Tamilian love story and absolutely nothing to with fictional non-politics.
 
"Fictional non-politics of Shashikala have a fundamental contradiction with highly truthful but assumed non-truths of Jayalalithaa." 
 
The 54-year-old filmmaker said he has immense respect for Jayalalithaa, who died in Chennai on December 5. Now members of AIADMK are requesting Sasikala, her close aide, to become the political party's General Secretary, but she is yet to give her consent.
 
"I immensely respect Jayalalithaa, but I honestly respect Shasikalaji a little bit much much much more. Jayalalithaaji respected Shasikalaji much more than she respected anybody else proves why I should call my film 'Shashikala'," he tweeted. 
 
"Jayalalithaa seen through the eyes of Sasikala is much more poetic and honest thought than seeing Jayalalithaa only through Jayalalitha," he added.
 
Currently he is busy filming the third instalment of the popular crime thriller franchise "Sarkar". The film features megastar Amitabh Bachchan, Yami Gautam and Manoj Bajpayee in pivotal roles.
