Ram Gopal Varma’s 1995 blockbuster, Rangeela, was considered to be ahead of its time, back in the day. The film not only became a big commercial success, but also garnered critical acclaim. Urmila Matondkar, who was RGV’s muse, once upon a time, stunned the audience with her sultry avatar in the film. It also starred Aamir Khan and Jackie Shroff in the leads, each one carving his niche in the movie.
In the recent past, news of Rangeela getting a sequel had been doing the rounds. However, thanks to a major fallout between Urmila and RGV, Rangeela 2 didn’t take off. Now, Urmila tied the knot last year and RGV wished her luck, but it doesn’t look like burying the hatchet is going to get them to work on Rangeela 2 together.
If word’s to be believed, new faces will be cast in the sequel. Says a source close to the developments, “RGV has started working on the second instalment of his cult Rangeela, which has tentatively been titled Rangeela 2. The director is currently working on the final draft of the film, and will rope in fresh faces.” Varma remained unavailable for comment, however. It looks like we’ll have to wait and watch.
