A sequel that is not a sequel
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, December 17, 2005]
Nagarjuna and Ram Gopal Varma’s association started way back in the late 80s with Shiva.
It was a film that set off a huge trend. Almost a cult classic, Shiva set the tone for the kind of action thrillers that are at once realistic and stylistic. In fact, it was on the sets of Shiva that Nagarjuna’s real life romance with Amala started that they eventually ended up marrying each other.
Varma in fact evolved his own idiom from that film. Now we have numerous clones and seen numerous other films in that genre. But Shiva remains still etched in our memory.
At a time when every hit film has the possibility of a sequel, it is only natural that they are planning a sequel for Shiva.
But the problem is none of those associated with that film are spring chickens any more. So the storyline is to be structured in such a manner that you will not find it difficult to accept.
Shiva 2006, the tentative name of the sequel, may have Nagarjuna playing the cop.
Ilayaraja will once again provide the tunes.
Other details of the movie are being finalized.
