Varma: The Bone of Contention

It is being suggested that Ramgopal Varma, who made two memorable films Sarkar and Sarkar Raj with Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is allegedly not very welcome into their fold today. The reason for the temporary estrangement is simple.

Varma is busy adding finishing touches to ‘Rakta Charitra’ with Vivek Oberoi and anyone who is close to Vivek (personally or professionally) is not really welcome on that side. It may be a long while before Varma makes a film with the Bachchans, say trade sources.

But in Bollywood, as in life, friendships and enmity is a temporary condition.
