Plot

With Dawood Ibrahim and Chota Rajan being more or less inactive since so many years and various other dons either being killed or jailed, its highly understandable that the police today think that they have made the underworld almost non existent.But as long as greed for money, resentment towards the rich and rebelliousness towards the system exists in human nature, it would be a fallacy for anyone to think that the underworld can ever be wiped out.

Underworld will never die, it just keeps changing its form and history is witness to the fact that every new form of underworld has always originated from the thinking of one particular individual.

There is no difference between how a Dhirubhai Ambani reinvented the corporate world by moving away from the ways of Tatas,Birlas etc. and how a Dawood Ibrahim reinvented the underworld by moving away from the likes of Karim Lala,Haji Mastan etc., fair enough, that since one was a constructor of value systems and the other a destructor, the comparison seems uncalled for, but what cannot be denied is the factor that both had a common vision.

All this was in the early eighties and we are now in 2013 and since there is almost no underworld now, it is clear that there's a vacuum and whenever there's a vacuum in any lucrative business there will always be, an entrepreneur to step in.

If 'Satya' was a story of a man who came in 1998 and shaped the then existing underworld, 'Satya 2' is about another man who comes in 2013 to reinvent the underworld. To that extent I would say this is a futuristic film not in terms of science fiction but in terms that there is no precedent for the protagonist of 'Satya 2' . He starts a new underworld company based on his study of the mistakes of all the earlier dons and also on the ways he develops to deal with the modern day policing methods.

The police is completely caught off guard by this never before experienced menace of the new company and the reason for this is that the police will always be lesser than a criminal enterprise in their vision, police is merely an evolved system whereas a criminal entrepreneur for want of a better word is a visionary in his own field.. Only after a new kind of crime happens will the police learn how to contain or prevent it.. So it follows that if a completely new kind of a criminal appears on the horizon, their past experience will be null and void and they will again have to start from the basics.

So in one line 'Satya 2' is about a man whose thinking starts where the earlier dons thinking ended.

Development

A feathered friend in the know confirmed the news. “He is finding it difficult to sell it. His office has approached some production houses, but the response has been lukewarm.” While the first Satya was a hit, Ramu’s reputation has taken a massive hit from then on, with a slew of flops like The Attacks of 26/11 and Aag, among others. Plus, with the absence of any major stars in Ram Gopal Varma’s more recent films, it seems like production houses are not too keen on working with him!

Ram Gopal Varma, however, clarifies that “It is a trilingual film and the shooting is still under progress. The producers have not yet approached anyone to sell it, as they are waiting for its completion which will take a few months.” Which version is true remains to be seen.

After the introducing a new genre of filmmaking through ‘Satya’, Ram Gopal Varma’s recipe for the sequel is a bit different. The trailer shows a man well-versed with the mistakes made by the previous gangsters, and now, he is desirous to set up his own underworld company. The role of the ambitious man in question is essayed by Puneet Singh Ratn, and Anaika Soti plays his love interest.

According to Ram Gopal Varma’s tweet: “Satya was a man who came in 1998, got into the underworld and died... Satya 2 is about a man who comes in 2013 to reinvent the underworld.

Ram Gopal Varma’s 'Satya 2' is in trouble. An insider revealed ,”Though the film has been completed and the post production work is on, attempts to cut the film's deal for release has met with little success. The source further added, "The stark reality, the rawness and the violence of the original went down well with the aam junta. But sadly the response has not been so forthcoming for its franchise." Ram Gopal Varma made several star careers and launched many new faces but Satya 2 with rank newcomers is seeming like a risky proposition now. Also, the director's last venture plunged at the box office leading to apprehensions." TV actor Mrunal Jain, who plays Vishnu/Akaash in Uttaran serial, will make his Bollywood debut with Ram Gopal Varma's Satya 2. Reportedly, he is playing an undercover police officer in the movie. Ram Gopal Varma’s string of box-office disasters have made public lose confidence in his movies. Hence, the distributors are reluctant in shelling out their money on his films. Post ‘Raktha Charitra’ (which was his last box-office hit in 2010), Ram Gopal Varma directed 10 films that includes ‘Raktha Charitra 2’, ‘Phoonk 2’, ‘Katha Screenplay Darsakatvam: Appalraju’, ‘Dongala Mutta’, ‘Bejawada’, ‘Not a Love Story’, ‘Department’, ‘Bhoot Returns’, ‘The Attacks of 26/11’ and the recent one ‘Psycho’. But none could bring him back his lost glory when once upon a time audience used to eagerly wait for the release of his films. ‘Satya 2’ is the sequel to ‘Ram Gopal Varma’s 1998 blockbuster movie ‘Satya’. This film is simultaneously being made in Telugu and Hindi. Sharwanand and Anaika Soti are the lead pair in this sequel. Sharwanand, who is also struggling to get a hit banked heavily on this film. Samanth Kumar Reddy, Sunil Kumar Reddy and Padiri are the joint producers. Amar Mohile is providing the music and Vikash Saraf is cranking the camera. Ram Gopal Varma is known for having a penchant for making movies on real life incidents. This has often got him in the headlines, but sadly only headlines and no distributors.
