Here is one director cum producer who always attempts to do something different and is unfazed even if he is failed by the audience.

Yes, we are talking about Ram Gopalvarma who in his own silent way is creating a revolution though the people in the industry are not even aware of it. It is very well known that Ram Gopalvarma is now making a movie in Telugu 'Madhyanam Hathya' with JD Chakravarthy. What many would have missed is the seal at the right hand side corner of the poster which said 'a factory product'.

In an industry which is ruled by the actors more than the directors, Ram Gopal varma is one of the very few who has his way with the actors. Silently he is creating a whole bunch of talented film-makers and encouraging them to defy conventions.

It all started with 'Shool'. Though the story is an oft-beaten one, the treatment in the movie stands out for special mention and will be considered one of the best products to have come out of Ram Gopal Varma corporation. The latest 'Ab Tak Chappan' is another masterpiece by one of his students.

If things go this way in Tollywood, Big stars may not be dictating terms and that is a good sign, actually.
