Mumbai, January 13: Ram Gopal Varma says his upcoming film ‘Rann’, about a television baron played by Amitabh Bachchan, exposes the true colours of media but does not portray it in bad light.
Verma, popularly known as RGV, says that his latest venture is not about media-bashing because it is not a singular entity, but a system. “I expose the media by showing its true colours…the pressures, problems and complexities in running a 24 hour news channel,” Varma told reporters.
Bachchan who portrays Vijay Harshvardhan Malik, a media baron, says ‘Rann’ does not portray the media in bad light. “It also not preachy of what the media should or should not do. After all it’s a fictional story where there is poetic justice,” he said.
He felt there is clarity and transparency in the media to correct lacuna if any within the system.
