Maverick filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma is currently busy working on an exciting film. He teamed up with Kannada star Upendra for the same.

Announcing the project, RGV said, "Happy to announce my film with Upendra titled R based on an incredibly unique gangster in the criminal history of India. It’s produced by A Square productions.

"R was unlike any gangster, who started as a small-time street tough and then terrorized not only Banglore but also the mafia in Mumbai and the D company in Dubai. The police themselves were scared of R and also sometimes used to take the help of R." tweeted RGV.

"Dawood Ibrahim himself was in awe of R and R helped the D company many times in Dubai. R played by @nimmaupendra was a daredevil gangster who was not scared of anyone in the world and the most successful of all the gangsters in India," revealed Varma.

On the other hand, RRR is the new film that was released today and is getting a positive response from everyone. Starring Ram Charan and Jr NTR in the lead roles, the film is directed by SS Rajamouli.
