Ram Gopal Varma, Self-Styled ‘Porn-Lover’ and ‘Thighs Maniac’, Announces Three-Part Biopic On Himself

It began with his Climax, a film that starred porn-star Mia Malkova in a lost desert with roving bandits, and a turquoise pond from which she could emerge butt-naked. Ram Gopal Varma released it online, a 100 Rupees pay-per-view on an online platform. The commercial success of this endeavour made him release a spate of films online like Naked Nanga Nagnam, Powerstar, and Thriller, each pay-per view a little more than the last. (He even put out the trailer of Powerstar as a pay-per-view till it was uploaded on YouTube.) 

He has also made a slew of announcements, from a film about kidnapping Katrina Kaif to one on Arnab Goswami, a horror film with Makarand Deshpande and even a coronavirus based film shot entirely during lockdown

Now it is Ramu, the first of a three-part biopic on himself. Part 1 is about his college days, Vijayawada gang fights, and the making of his film Shiva. Part 2 titled Ram Gopal Varma is about his life in Mumbai, "girls, gangsters, and Amitabh Bachchan". Part 3 is titled RGV and is about his failures and his (often aired) views on "God, Sex, and Society." Part 1 and 2 will have different actors playing him, and Varma will play Varma in part 3. 

The poster he released has adjectives Varma uses to, self-awarely, describe Varma.

Bold
Weird
Devil

Thighs Maniac

Produced by Bommaku Murali, written and supervised by Varma himself, and directed by debutant Dorasai Teja, shooting for this triptych will start in September.
