Ketan Mehta's next venture, 'Rang Rasiya' is all set the silver screen ablaze. The film is based on the real life story of the famous painter Raja Ravi Varma.

Raja Ravi Varma was born in Kerala in 1848 and he was often criticized for being too showy and sentimental in his style.

The film is based on Raja Ravi Varma's relationship with the Sugandha, a sensuous woman who posed for his paintings. It is her beauty that inspired Ravi Varma in creating those exquisite paintings on Hindu mythology. Raja Ravi Varma had been accused of unethical paintings depicting Hindu gods, and he was arrested for his works.

Randeep Hooda plays Raja Ravi Varma's role in the film. Sugandha's role is enacted by Nandana Sen. The passion prevalent in the paintings of Raja Ravi Varma is portrayed in the film as well.
