Ram Gopal Varma warns against making mythological films!

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, famous for his famous films like 'Satya', 'Company' and 'Sarkar', remains in the news due to his outspoken style. Ram Gopal Varma recently shared his views on the current trend of making mythological films in India. During the conversation, the filmmaker also mentioned Om Raut's film 'Adipurush'.

Ram Gopal Varma said this about mythological stories

Actually, Ram Gopal Varma in his recent interview talked about the upcoming Ramayana trilogy with Ranbir Kapoor and other similar projects. He said, "Making films on mythological stories is very dangerous. There are two reasons for this. If people know the stories and you try to make them different, it can have the opposite effect. You cannot do this in our country because people worship them".

The producers spoke on the success of these mythological films

Along with this, Ram Gopal Varma cited the success of Babubhai Mistry's 'Sampoorna Ramayan' and NT Rama Rao's mythological films and said that the situation was different in earlier times. Varma said, "I think it could have worked in the past when Babubhai Mistry made the entire Ramayan and all the mythological films of NT Rama Rao. But, today they have reached a position of reverence. Perhaps then there would not have been so much polarization or social media would not have constantly challenged people's interpretation."

Ram Gopal Varma gave the example of the film 'Adipurush'

While giving the example of Om Raut's film 'Adipurush', Ram Gopal Varma said, "If you look at Adipurush, it was more about Saif Ali Khan's look and Hanuman's look. Due to such constant criticism, it is very dangerous to take the subject from that shelf. Still, these filmmakers are trying their best and I wish them all the best". Let us tell you that Om Raut's film 'Adipurush' had to face a lot of criticism.

Not only this, during the conversation with Ram Gopal Varma, he asked that some filmmakers want to attract young audiences, who may not be familiar with mythological stories. Responding to this, the filmmaker said, "In that case, no one should claim that they are making Ramayana. I say why not make a new story and call it Ramayana? If you sell Adipurush as Prabhas's film, people will see it differently, but if I am told that it is Ramayana, I will see it differently. Why touch a sensitive subject instead of showing it as something completely new and avoiding the onslaught of negativity?"
