When RGV is around, there is no dearth of sensationalism and controversy. Some call him a channel tiger and others call him controversy’s favourite child, but when it comes to Ram Gopal Varma, there can never be dull moments.
The latest buzz about him is that he is making a movie titled Jaga Mondi, which means obstinate. If sources close to Ramu are to be believed, this movie is about YS Jagan and his struggles. And everyone knows how strong willed Jagan is. But, this film may be a politics based one and it would focus on Jagan’s pathway to CMhood. If sources are to be believed, some politics from Kadapa are funding and financing this project. The idea, so goes the buzz, is to present him as a tough hero.
If it’s Jagan’s story, then Sonia Gandhi is bound to be there. In fact, Jagan’s fight was against the domination by Sonia Gandhi. While RGV is known to bring look-alikes for key roles like that of Veerappan, NTR and others, this time around, he is rumoured to be looking at a star from the Hindi film world. The idea is to give a pan-Indian profile to the film.
The buzz in the social media is that Ramu is looking towards Kangana Ranaut for Sonia’s role. If sources close to Raju are to be believed, the original idea was to look for an Italian performer. But, will Kangana agree to do this role? Is this proposition confirmed? If ever this happens, it would be casting coup of sorts.

Sree Vishnu’s Double Release Strategy: One Week Gap, Big Stakes
The news of promising star Sree Vishnu arriving with two films almost back-to-back created a huge buzz in trade circles. Initially, Mrityunjay was locked for a February 26 release, while Vishnu Vinyasam was scheduled for February 27, raising eyebrows across the industry.
After several discussions and careful consideration, the makers decided to avoid a direct clash. While Vishnu Vinyasam retained its release date, Mrityunjay has now been postponed by a week and will hit screens on March 6.
From a trade perspective, the situation is quite interesting. Vishnu Vinyasam is said to be a comic entertainer, whereas Mrityunjay is a crime thriller. Since both films belong to completely different genres, each carries its own audience appeal. In today’s box office scenario, where most films generate the bulk of their collections within the first week, this one-week gap could work as a strategic advantage.
However, much depends on the audience verdict. If Vishnu Vinyasam emerges as a blockbuster, it could impact the momentum of Mrityunjay. On the other hand, if Mrityunjay delivers strong content and positive word of mouth, it could easily dominate the box office. And if both films strike gold, Sree Vishnu might enjoy a rare double success at the ticket windows.
