After a long search, Ram Gopal Varma has finally chosen the actor to play Paritala Ravi!"After thinking hard on every actor both known and unknown, I have finally zeroed in on Vivek Oberoi as the most ideal choice to play Paritala Ravi. He has remarkable intensity in his eyes which I noticed in the making of COMPANY, a voice which commands attention, an arrogance in his demeanour, an enormous power in his stance, and also a certain vulnerability which makes one instantly warm up to him, which is what is needed to fit in a role of Paritala Ravi's profile.
"After a rough look-test done and when I saw the approximation of how Vivek could look like in different phases of Ravi's life, from being a rebel in the jungles to a political strong-arm man, I was absolutely convinced that my search ended."
The film is based on Paritala Ravi from Andhra Pradesh who got assassinated in January 2005. RGV decided to make it in Hindi because he felt that this story needed to reach a large audience.
“Paritala Ravi was arguably the most feared individual ever in the history of the blood-ridden faction politics of South India. He was a prime accused in innumerable murder cases and also survived numerous assassination attempts…” said Ram Gopal Varma, speaking passionately about the movie.
