Friends not more: Sanju and RGV have a fall out?

Pointing at Ram Gopal Varma's absence in the course of the shoot of a few of Sanjay Dutt's scenes for his or her cop film, sources hint at a fall-out between the previous buddies over creative differences

Fifteen years after their last collaboration, Ram Gopal Varma and Sanjay Dutt are teaming up once again, this time for his or her upcoming action drama.

However, buzz is that the 2 won't interact again, within the near future, including within the director’s new venture at the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. Besides, the filmmaker isn't keen to go along with the corporate company that’s also presenting and co-producing the film.

A well-placed source related to the film tells us that from the time the film was planned, Dutt was against RGV’s idea on shooting it on a 5D camera, like his previous venture, Not A Love Story.

“Sanjay’s apprehensions were further confirmed when the results of his sequence at an Irani café didn’t pop out nearly as good as expected, ” recalls our source, adding that the scene was re-shot recently. “And that too in RGV’s absence, ” our source points out.

Further, it's learnt that after the company company tried interfering within the creative aspect of the film, RGV was surprised that Dutt went at the side of their suggestions, despite the fact that he disagreed.

“On his part, Ramu incorporated their inputs. And despite the initial plan of shooting an item song with Madhu Shalini, he needed to instead shoot with Nathalia Kaur at Sanjay’s behest, ” said our source, adding that the corporate presenter’s decision to outsource the cutting of promos was the overall straw.

Dharam Oberoi, some of the film’s producers and Sanjay’s business manager, states, “There’s no problem in any respect. Ramu has called all of the shots. It’s going to mark his comeback to hard-hitting films.”

All’s well?

As for creative interferences and differences, Oberoi maintained that each actor gives inputs within the film’s best interests. “Other actors like Akshay Kumar too give their inputs. So if Sanju has given any suggestion, it’s only because he also desires to be sure that the film seems as best as possible, ” he asserted.

RGV, however, said that he shares an ideal equation with the corporate’s head, Vikram Malhotra and his team. “I’m extremely proud of the best way they're designing the campaign, ” he says.

As for the alleged differences with Sanjay, he maintains, “I highly respect him, both on a private and professional level and we’re planning another film very soon.”
