Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma’s movie D Company has been creating headlines lately.
Based on the life of the most wanted gangster Dawood Ibrahim, the film is currently streaming on Spark OTT.
Besides his movies, RGV is also known for being extremely honest and not being afraid to speak what’s in his heart and mind.
Did you know it took him almost twenty years to complete his latest movie D Company? Not only that, but you must know that he has used the real names of terrorists in this action-thriller gangster drama. Recently, during a chit-chat with KoiMoi, the filmmaker revealed how he got interested in making a film on Dawood’s life and if he is afraid of the consequences.
The filmmaker says, “See when I say that, Dawood Ibrahim as a subject matter has interested me probably ever since the 93 serial blasts. Which is technically more than 20 years ago. Then I kept meeting people who kind of know him and interacted with him. And recently around a couple of years back, I met someone who was part of the original D Gang in Dongri. So, I think what a man should collate from various people who interacted with him and various times in his life.”
“I realized how a guy who was a part of a street gang, turned it into an international crime syndicate. That is what fascinated me. That also, in a kind exposes the lapses in the system and the establishment. And no man is caused by himself, there will be many factors both on the right and the wrong side of the law. So, it is very interesting. It is like the Mahabharat of the underworld,” RGV added.
And, is he afraid of the consequences of taking terrorists’ real names in his latest release? The answer is no.
“No, because see I think, not that I know them on a personal level, but I would like to believe they feel that I am the guy who meets people, not good or bad. Crime is a legal world, and many times the cause of it can have a moral aspect to it, can have a circumstantial aspect, can have a compulsion, can strangely have an innocent aspect, which I have seen in my research of that. And they are business organizations, they use violence once in a while to straighten up things. So, I don’t think they will really have a problem. That I will know they have a problem, only when I get the bullet. I hope I do not,” he concluded.
