Maverick filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma’s next Telugu film ‘Bejawada Rowdilu’ shooting began today (Thursday, May 12, 2011) in Vijayawada. This Nagachaitanya starrer is being directed by a debutant, Vivek Krishna, who comes from RGV’s school. Ram Gopal Varma and Kiran Kumar Koneru are jointly producing the film on Shreya Productions banner. Vanditha Koneru is presenting it.

‘Bejawada Rowdilu’ is said to be based on the gang wars that happened in Vijayawada almost two decades ago. RGV had earlier made the film ‘Shiva’ with such a backdrop. In fact, it was his debut, which went to be big hit and also gave a big breakthrough to King Nagarjuna’s film career. Now ‘Bejawada Rowdilu’ is coming with similar storyline. But unlike ‘Shiva’ in which, Nagarjuna turns a gangster from a student, ‘Bejawada Rowdilu’ will portray Nagachaitanya as a young intellectual guy who turns a smart politician than becoming a rowdy.

The first schedule of the film will be shot in Vijayawada from today (Thursday, May 12, 2011) to 27th of this month. Filmmakers are planning to complete the film in three more schedules that will be shot in June, July and August, and release it for Dassera in October.

Heroine is yet to be selected. Other cast includes Kota Srinivas Rao, Abhimanyu Singh, Subhaleka Sudhakar, Mukul Dev, Ahuthi Prasad, Ajay, Ashok Kumar, Phani, Bharath and Shravan.
