Ram Gopal Varma, better known as RGV is an Indian film director, screenwriter and producer. Varma has directed, written and produced films across multiple genres—psychological thrillers, underworld gang warfare, politician-criminal nexus, and musicals—and in multiple languages—Telugu and Hindi.


Shiva (1989) was his first film as director and Rann (2010) is his most recent one. He gained recognition in Hindi cinema, also known as "Bollywood", with Rangeela (1995). The next film he directed was Satya (1998), which won six Filmfare Awards, including the Critics Award for Best Film. Satya, together with his 2002 film Company (which he directed and which won seven Filmfare Awards) and 2005 film D (which he produced), form an "Indian Gangster Trilogy". Other successful films Varma directed include Kshana Kshanam (1991), Kaun (1999), Jungle (2000), Bhoot (2003), Sarkar (2005) and Sarkar Raj (2008).

He lent his voice for the first time to ace comedian Brahmanandam in the song 'Wah Re Wah' from the movie 'MONEY', and his prestigious project 'Rakhta Charithra' made him sing the THEME song of the movie 'Kattulatho Saavasam'. Here's what he had to say about his new avatar as a singer.

"The song here itself exemplifies the theme of the two parts of Rakta Charitra. The reason I sang was not to showcase my singing talent. When I was telling the music directors the way this song should be sung, they were fed up of my constant interference and forced me to sing myself. " Read more on Last.fm.
