Nostalgia of our telugu fims is altogether a memories worth cherished.reflected,identified, connected.Let us hope RGV heart does not stop like Michael Jackson one day. He is the best Scoundrel playing around leaving our politicians far Behind. "The alternative to despair is courage. And human life can be viewed as a continuous struggle between these two options. Courage is the capacity to affirm one's life in spite of the elements which threaten it. The fact that courage usually predominates over despair in itself tells us something important about life. It tells you that the forces that affirm life are stronger than those that negate it." Indiamycountry Dear AutoJani

Most of the times, the director fails to connect with the people. I hope you have seen Varanaam Aaiyram. It may be a super hit and got a few awards but I feel that all the efforts/acting of Suriya is wasted by Gautam. Till the very end, I couldnt connect with the director, couldnt conceive the character and felt betrayed at the end of the movie. I heard that you are directing Suriya as 'Suri' in Raktha Charithra. He is an attractive actor but the arrogant,vulnerable Suriya is a tough ask from him. Waiting for the magical midas touch of RGV in that character!Fingers crossed,I hope you will do justice to his hardwork!With prayers...anitha Hi RGV,

All the characters have done justice to their role or should I say you have extracted the best what they are capable off !! The reason I say that is most of the actors can act with their shear sense of expression; be it their eyes, voice or a combination of both. But the way you have shown Malik Bhai's character is just too good. Most of the movie he wears dark glasses but even with his eyes being completely covered you/ Ajay conveyed how chillingly cold a character could be portrayed. Well there could be no complains whatsoever on Ajay's talents but very few have it in them who can bring out the best from an Actor. This by no means is a judging platform of your capability as a director. It feels extremely good that talented individuals like you who prove to the world time and again that you are there because you belong there and not just a fact sheet provided by destiny !! RGV :

What's in the director's mind, what he wanted to present and what do i perceive. A good insight. I would like to see more such kind of mail and hope others also might be interested. Don't say "i don't write for your interest." I always have curiosity about the direction. What’s in the director’s mind, what he wanted to present and what do i perceive. A good insight.

That scene is an impact scene as well. The women standing quietly away and speaking nothing, speaks volumes of respect and fear that they carry vis-a-vis Sarkar. Chander speaking away whenever he wants and whatever he wants depicts the mutual respect and trust that Sarkar and Chander carry for each other. Abhishek speaking when he feels he has to shows his utmost confidence. And of course Kay kay was very vulnerable and powerless in front of Sarkar. Well done Sir.
