Ram Gopal varma Says amitabh bachchan Positioned His Popularity At Stake For Aag: 'I Feel Guilty.'
Ram Gopal varma has by no means shied away from owning his cinematic missteps, but with regards to ram gopal varma Ki Aag, even he admits it was an innovative misfire from the start.
In a brand new interview, the filmmaker spread out about the motivations and mishaps that brought about the notorious 2007 remake of Sholay, a movie many now regard as one of the worst in bollywood history.
Varma found out that the idea changed into reimagining Sholay in a contemporary context—something he believes could've worked if carried out with the sincerity of his earlier hit Satya. but that vision never materialized. "In filmmaking, the primary mistake is choosing what you want to do. After that, nothing is on your mind," he said, admitting he hit a creative block midway through the manner.
RGV recalled how a poster dressmaker sparked the idea by imagining a reimagined gabbar singh styled like amitabh Bachchan. "He informed me, 'Sir, legends do not appear real and normal,'" varma stated. Inspired, he narrated the idea to Bachchan, who signed at the energy in their previous collaboration, Sarkar.
While varma jokes about who's responsible—"the poster man, Sascha Sippy, and maybe even Bachchan sahab"—he in the end shoulders the responsibility. "But I am taking the blame," he stated with amusement.
In a previous interview with Galatta Plus, varma even apologized for dragging Bachchan into the mission. "He positioned his reputation at stake due to me. The movie became a guffawing inventory, and the cause is me, now not him," he stated. "I felt responsible that I made him undergo that."
Released in 2007, RGV Ki Aag featured a powerhouse forged including amitabh bachchan, Mohanlal, ajay Devgn, and Sushmita Sen. Notwithstanding that, the film became panned by way of critics and audiences alike, turning into synonymous with cinematic disaster. Nearly many years later, it stays a cautionary story in Bollywood's records—and one which even its creator can not help but snicker approximately.
