I am starting a Telugu film called “Dhongala Mutha” (A Gang of Thieves) with stars like Ravi Teja, Chaarmi, Brahmanandam, Laxmi Manchu, Prakash Raj etc, from February 9th.
It is going to be a high entertainment Thriller.
Everyone knows that normally a film takes between 60 to 120 days to shoot and more than 150 to 200 crew members will be working on it.
The unique thing about this film of mine is that this 2 hour long feature film will be completed in just 5 days start to finish, with a crew of just 5 people including me.
No one in this film is going to be paid. It is being made only with those actors and technicians who are excited to be a part of this project.
All the people who are working for this project will only be paid after the release of the film that is, if and only if the film makes profits and those payments will be in accordance with their individual value additions.
My primary intention of doing this film is to establish a fact of how it is possible to use present day Digital Technology to make a Theatrical film in just 5 days and with just a 5 member crew and that too at zero cost.
The technology I am adapting for this film is going to once for all prove that it’s not Crores of rupees that one needs to make a film but it’s just a story which excites all concerned and a passionate desire in all concerned to see that the film gets made and gets released.
The film will be released on March 4th that is exactly in 23 days from the start date of the shooting which is February 9th.
The five member unit breakup is as follows:
1 Director- Ram Gopal Varma
2 Associate Directors- Puri Jaganth (Co-Director) and Harish Shankar
3 Three Canon 5D camera operators
