Ram Gopal Varma, who is currently working on Killing Veerppan with Shivarajkumar has revealed that his next movie will be on the Bangalore underworld. He reveald through a series of tweets on Twitter that he will be making a movie of Muthappa Rai. Here's what he said:
"Had a most amazing meeting and a most fascinating understanding of the Banglore underworld. Banglore underworld has a far more viscous quality which explains its pan india effect nd it's links to Mumbai and Dubai based Underworld. After all my understanding what I had of the underworld I realised today that the D Company is much less in comparison to B Company. To just call it Banglore Underworld is not justified because today I realised that Banglore underworld is actually the Indan underworld."
In the tweets that followed, he revealed the name of the movie and the subject:
The name of my film on the Banglore Underworld is going to be "Appa" and the tagline of "Appa" is going to be -The Father of all Godfathers". I always thought Godfather was a fictional character but after Meeting Mutthappa Rai realised he is real and he is father of all Godfathers. Mutthappa Rai I think is the Bahubali of the Underworld. Some media ppl reporting Mutthappa Rai's son is acting in "Appa" is completely false..casting not finalised as script work still going on. Also I want to clarify except for him being the inspiration for the film,Mutthappa rai is in no way connected to "Appa" in any which way. The research I gathered on Banglore underworld in general and Mutthappa Rai in particular came from multiple sources and not from Mr.Rai. What I heard about Mutthappa Rai from others including cops and his enemies is far far more than what I actually heard from Mr.Rai himself. I gathered information about Mutthappa rai not only from the Banglore underworld but also from various sources in Mumbai and Dubai."
