The love guru Ram Gopal Varma says "Love at will sometimes give you good sex whereas hate will give you nothing". He writes in his blog, “I feel it’s truly wasteful to expend one’s energy in hating someone.” Ramu says his worst ever movie, “Drohi” inspired to make two best films that gave him standing in the industry.
When Ramu went to Mumbai to sign Madhuri Dixit for Drohi, he could not get her due to dates problem. On the advice of Boney Kapoor he signed Urmila. In the course of making Drohi, Mani Ratnam and Ramu together wrote a script for Gayam in which for a supporting role Mani suggested Urmila. Ramu got mesmerized with Urmila’s dance and inspired to make Rangeela.
Ramu was very much impressed with the story of a James Hadley Chase novel where a gangster falls in love with a girl and the girl does not know that he is a gangster. By the time he wants to get out it’s too late and he dies. Ramu made this story into Drohi and when it failed he changed the setting and backdrop and years later remade it as Satya.
Drohi in effect caused both Rangeela and Satya. If he did not meet Urmila, he would not have made Rangeela and if Drohi worked he wouldn’t have made Satya.
Ramuism:-
I identified a world of my own which is filled with my kind of music, my kind of films, my kind of people, gangsters, ghosts, girls with sexy bums etc. If anybody chooses to visit it, they might like some, dislike some or completely reject. It’s their choice, but I surely am not going to leave my world until I leave this world.
