After the failure of the film Officer, RGV is now back with the announcement of his new movie. The film is titled as VIRUS. Parag Sanghvi is the producer of the movie who earlier worked with RGV for the movies Sarkar and The Attacks of 26/11. The director announced the main theme of the movie on the social media yesterday.
“In VIRUS, a Student contracts a deadly disease from a visit to central Africa and soon it spreads like wild fire in Mumbai City. A panicky and totally unprepared government warns the people of Mumbai to maintain a distance of at least 20 feet from each other which becomes impossible in a 2 crore populated city. The death toll soon rises to more than a lakh and the government cuts off Mumbai from the rest of the country in a desperate hope to contain it in Mumbai. The uninfected in a panic try to flee the city, but the administrators give extreme orders to shoot anyone who tries to escape because they want to stop the spread and do not know who’s infected and who’s not. Against this backdrop of a battle between the city’s scared people and its helpless administrators, VIRUS will be a high octane human drama full of fear, tragedy, love, sacrifice, hope, and desperation.” revealed Ram Gopal Varma about the film.
Akkineni Nagarjuna teamed up with Ram Gopal Varma after many years with Officer. The teasers and the trailer failed to attract the audience and the film lacked interesting business offers. This film turned out to be a trap for Officer as the makers sold the film citing to offer Akhil’s film if they fail to recover the investments.
Officer released last Friday and has been declared as the biggest disaster of Telugu cinema. The buyers are left shattered and will end up recovering zero from their investments.
One of the film’s buyers Subramanyam from Rajahmundry said that he was cheated completely. Speaking to the media, he said that, “I was in plans to produce a small budget film and it is during this time, RGV’s close aides took me to JD Chakravarthy’s office and forced me to buy Officer. They even offered me Akhil – RGV’s film if I don’t recover my investments. Though I was not impressed with the teasers and the trailer, I was forced to buy the film. Now they are out of reach and I am asked to pay the QUBE charges for the film. Suicide is the only option left for me.”
Well, we hope Nagarjuna or Film Chamber members may come to his rescue to help him.
The controversial actress Sri Reddy is striking the headlines every now and then with some unnecessary news. The entire mainstream media has stopped encouraging her and her acts. Still, the actress is trying to create some buzz on the social media by making some statements on the films and film stars. The latest comments coming from her is on the film Officer starring Nagarjuna Akkineni.
‘Officer is a great movie..Nagarjuna garu did a very good job and RGV is a great director..unnecessary penta fans negative publicity chesthunnaru..pichi rajakeeyalu cheyakandi..watch this movie with out any doubt..me family nunchi movies vochinapudu kuda chuskundam,’ she tweeted.
This has caught the attention of many. On the other side, Nagarjuna fans are disappointed with the film’s failure. Nagarjuna is yet to respond on the result of the movie.
The film Officer is the latest 2018 Telugu action crime project produced bland directed by Ram Gopal Varma on his R Company production banner. The director has been teaming up with the actor after almost two decades, and this movie marks their fourth-time collaboration. The film stars Nagarjuna Akkineni and Myra Sarin in the lead roles. Ravi Shankar is the music director of the film. The film’s trailer has created a great curiosity among the audiences, and the makers promoted that the sound design of the movie is exceptional. The film has got a lot of positive elements and check out the review of the film here.
Plot:
The story revolves around the investigation of a fake encounter done by a police officer called Narayan Pasari. Shivaji Rao is appointed as the investigative officer for this fake encounter, and while he starts chasing down the mystery behind the fake encounter, he encounters a lot of problems. What are those? How did Shivaji Rao finally wins over Narayan Pasari? Did Shivaji finish the investigation successfully? Forms the story of the film.
Performances:
Nagarjuna Akkineni has delivered an excellent performance in the film. As a police officer, he has played his part very well and shows the difference in his performance when compared to those in his previous roles. Every scene involving Nagarjuna has come out well. Myra Sarin, on the other hand, made her debut with this film and had got good marks regarding her performance as well as looks. Baby Kavya is impressive and has done her part very well. The other actors like Shiyaji Shinde, Priyadarshi Pulikonda, Ajay, Feroz, Abbasi are decent in their roles. The actor who played Narayan Pasari is good and tried his best to be the baddie.
Writing department:
Ram Gopal Varma himself has penned the story screenplay and dialogues for the movie. The story has got some uniqueness, but the screenplay has lead down the execution part. The conversations for the film are good, but at times they looked forced and artificial.
Technical Aspects:
Cinematography by Bharath Vyas is neat. The framing is beautiful, and Ram Gopal Varma has used his experience in coming up with some of the best frames in the movie. The lighting has been exceptional too. The editing by Anwar Ali and R Kamal is just okay. Some of the scenes could have been chopped off. The music by Ravi Shankar is good regarding the background score. The background score elevated the action sequences very well. The production values by R Company is luxurious and grand.
Verdict:
The film Officer could have been made as a thriller, but the director has chosen to make it a drama. The film did not have enough story to appeal to the audiences, but the director tried his best in coming up with an exciting cat and rat drama. The storyline is interesting, but as it progresses, there is no scope for further storytelling in the movie. As a result, the second half of the film falls flat and starts testing the patience of the audiences. The first half is much better when compared with the second half. On the whole, the film is nothing but a disappointment for the viewers and Nagarjuna fans who are expecting that this collaboration is going to recreate the magic of Shiva.
King Nagarjuna is busy with the promotions of his upcoming movie Officer. Being directed by controversial director Ram Gopal Varma, Officer is a cop-centric story. With a few controversies around, Officer has got only a limited pre-release buzz.
While this movie is very important for Ram Gopal Varma to prove himself as a director after being abandoned by almost all the big heroes. Nagarjuna, on the other hand, is trying his best to put this movie forward. Close sources report that Nagarjuna is all set to arrange a special premiere show which is to be exclusively played for Tollywood biggies and close media people. Must wait and see until the team announces the date and venue of the premiere show.
Ram Gopal Varma who easily manages to be into controversies, is continuing doing the same. Nagarjuna starrer Officer directed by RGV is all set for its release and there are certain things which are not going right.
Young writer P Jaya Kumar came up with the claims that Ram Gopal Varma has stolen his script for the movie Officer. He also went further and released the whole script online. But, RGV who maintained silence on this matter has reacted in the other way. Ram Gopal Varma has filed a police case against P Jaya Kumar. RGV alleges that Jayakumar morphed his image and has created a picture with his face edited to the naked body of a female which he posted on social media. This falls under cybercrime. More details awaited.
Sensational filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma is currently very much unhappy with the things progressing around the teaser of his new film Officer. In an unexpected manner, he has connected the dislikes of the teaser to Pawan Kalyan followers. The director started making fun of Pawan and his fans on Twitter.
“As a fan, I am shocked and feel sad for @Pawankalyan that he has only 11 k fans. That’s because @Iamnagarjuna ‘s #Officer teaser 2 has only 11 k dislikes. @iamnagarjuna ‘s #Officer ‘s warning to @PawanKalyan ‘s fans is to put more dislikes on #Officer. As fans of PK we request @janasenaparty to take this seriously as it might make the voters feel in nearly 11 crore people he has only 11 thousand fans. If Pawan Kalyan has only 11 thousand followers in a population of nearly 11 crores, #JanasenaParty should take serious steps for their party not to become a bigger disaster then #Prajarajyam. I and @iamnagarjuna ‘s #Officer demand that as fans of PK.” tweeted Ram Gopal Varma.
Power Star Pawan Kalyan is planning to move forward legally against some people who he thinks is behind the conspiracy around abusing his mother. RGV is also said to be one among them. Pawan interacted with a lot of advocates on the same and now RGV came up with series of tweets questioning Pawan about certain things.
“Jnanam vunna lawyerlani theesukokundaa avakaashalu raani @MsSriReddy type lawyerlani theesukovadam venuka thanaki lawyerla kanna yekkuva jnanam vundani dappu kottukovadam kosamaa? Just asking.

Wowwww first time I saw a client talking more than lawyers..I wonder why with all his money he couldn’t hire better lawyers or are they just his fans wearing lawyer coats from their film production Godown…just asking.” tweeted RGV.

The latest sensation in the film industry is that Pawan Kalyan, RGV and Sri Reddy. Sri Reddy abused Pawan Kalyan’s mother in an recent media interaction and that raises heat in the film industry.

After Ram Gopal Varma confessed that he is the one behind Sri Reddy’s abusive words against Pawan Kalyan, Naga Babu, and Allu Aravind came out and held press meets (separately) to address on this issue.
Furious over Ram Gopal Varma’s involvement in Sri Reddy’s issue, Allu Aravind stated that Ram Gopal Varma is a crooked person who has lost his credibility by stooping to the lowest levels. He also told that RGV is a cheater who has cheated his mother-like film industry. He also questions RGV by asking him how he would feel if others abuse his mother or family members. He warned RGV & Co to stay out of their Mega family or he will not spare anyone.
While Allu Aravind responds reasonably on the issue of the casting couch, he assures that the welfare associations will be in their favor and will work for Women’s safety on a whole.
Eccentric director Ram Gopal Varma leaves no stone unturned to make controversial comments on star heroes through his posts on social media. However, he has been cornering mega heroes – Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan for quite some time now.
It was me who is responsible for @MsSriReddy saying that to @PawanKalyan ..it is not her fault ..will give details now by 9.30 pm
He made controversial comments on Chiru and Pawan Kalyan regarding films and political career as well. However, recently biggest shock for the mega fans came out that RGV was behind Sri Reddy using M-word against Pawan Kalyan.
RGV was caught red-handed by posting a video through which he revealed that it was he who influenced Sri Reddy to point out Pawan to divert media’s attention from Daggubati family.
However, now Mega fans are getting ready for Mega war against RGV. Well, we need to wait and see what kind of action they take against RGV.
