Among the long list of movies that are coming from the stable of the eccentric genius Ram Gopal Varma, the film Rai caught the attention of everyone. The reason being, this is revolving around the life of the famous Karnataka gangster Muttappa Rai who was also associated with the notorious Dawood Ibrahim.
But whenever Rai came into discussion, it was understood that Kicha Sudeep would be doing that role. However, the latest update is that the brash hunk Vivek Oberoi would be doing the title role. With this, many were wondering why this change so here is some inside report from RGV’s camp.
They say that Vivek did Rakta Charitra and RGV took him because he wanted to release it nationwide. Since the story had AP’s backdrop Telugu people got connected. To connect the Tamil crowds, RGV got in Suriya. Now, the same is the case with ‘Rai’. Given the subject, the Karnataka crowds will accept it. The Telugus will also take it because Vivek did the character Pratap Ravi in Rakta Charitra. Sources say RGV is also planning to have a Tamil actor so that Kollywood also accepts it. That’s the story folks!
