Himanshu JoglekarHostRam Gopal Varma, uh, a huge, huge, uh, figure for, uh, folks of our vintage, so the kids today might, uh, [laughs] have a very different image of RGV.
You, you'll be quite surprised, Himanshu, and that's the beauty of works that last, and that's really what your podcast is about.
And the part of Bombay that I am in, uh, or usually I'm in, that's not always where I stay, which is Andheri, which is the, you know, the capital of the movie industry in Bombay, as it were, and the conversations and the number of conversations that people have who are much younger, uh, you know, in their, m- perhaps in even Gen Z's on Ramu is, is astoundingly high.
Uh, and that's because classics survive, and therefore filmmakers who make those classics survive as well.
... is the fact that he's an extremely interesting man, and you know, he's left behind lots of stories with lots of people.
So he's, he's, he's not just, he's himself deeply anecdotal as a, as a conversationalist, but he also leaves behind anecdotes that stay with you.
Uh, so that's another reason why if you come to WTF, which is a bar in, uh, Andheri West, in Versova, to be more precise, where I see Ramu hanging out a lot more than, uh, than, than, than often, um, yeah, he, he's, he's, he's the topic of discussion even now, so.
Yeah, because, you know, he has this personality on X, right, uh, you know, where he's quite sensational sometimes, but, um, you know, most of the times he's really writing, uh, deep stuff about movies that he watches and all that.
So he, he's, he's a very different personality on X, and I think the folks of our generation have a very different kind of, um, um, image of RGV in our heads, and we are, like, lifelong fans, right? Because, um, the movie that we're gonna talk about today, Rangeela, Satya, you know, all those '90s films combined-
I think even, even his, even his X persona is not very different from how he is in real life.
