Though for past few years, Ram Gopal Varma was struggling to provide a success on the box office, the director gained an iconic status long ago in 1998 along with his film Satya. And now, nearly 14 years later, RGV is planning to make a sequel to the film titled Satya 2 and has managed to get none rather than John Abraham to supply the film.
RGV announced on twitter, "IT'S NOT THAT I AM making Satya 2 to prove some extent to myself or anybody else. In 1997, I USED TO BE new in Mumbai and my child like fascination towards discovering its nuances is what which got reflected in Satya. After some time my expertise on it increased to the level that I BEGAN taking my knowledge with no consideration which obviously will lead to a undeniable degree of complacency and repetitiveness. But in Satya 2, finally these years I came upon a subject which has put me in awe of it and is fascinating me to no end."
RGV said that John Abraham has agreed to supply the film but he won't act in it. "John isn't acting within the film, for that matter he's not even doing an item song. The film is being done with complete new comers a lot of whom haven't even had stage or TV experience. John heard the idea that of Satya 2 through a mutual friend (Ram Mirchandani, co-producer of Vicky Donor) and he expressed interest. After I met him and we spoke at length I USED TO BE amazed at his insights into my detailed narration of Satya 2 story. It's purely our common excitement towards the subject material that is making us collaborate."
Though the film is titled Satya 2, RGV claims that it's different from Satya. "THIS CAN BE A totally different story with totally different characters. In fact, there won't also be a connection with the primary Satya in any which way." He also added that, "THE ADAPTATION between Satya and Satya 2 is if Satya was a narrative of a person who came to Mumbai in 1997 and got shaped by circumstances within the then existing underworld Satya 2 is set a person who came to Mumbai in 2012 to create his own circumstances and reinvent the underworld."
While the principal shooting will start after RGV's work on 26/11 film is over, the director has already started conducting the auditions for the actors.
