Sudeep is now in Mumbai to participate in the shooting of Rann produced and directed by Ram Gopal Verma. Sudeep is working with none other than the Big B legendary Amithabh Bachchan in the film. After a series of stunning performances headed RGV’s Sarkar and Sarkar Raj, Big B is now working with Ramu. And Ramu has also taken Sudeep who has been his lucky mascot in the film Phoonk which has turned out to be a big box office hit last year.  A terrific actor like Big B and a perfect actor like Sudeep may well be a lethal combination in a film directed by Ram Gopal Verma.
A source close to us visited the sets of Rann to report this item. The shooting of  “Rann’ is taking place in Viva Bunglows of the Madh Island. ‘Viva Bunglows’ was where the mighty star cast was present. While Sudeep was seen wrapped up in a shirt and jacket,  the Big B Amitabh Bachchan wore a upper looking dark blue striped suit.    The film’s two leading ladies Simone Singh and Neetu Chandra were also present during the shoot. While Simone Singh was draped in an off white kurta pyjama, Neetu Chandra was  covered from top to bottom in a peach coloured dress.   Nina Kulkarni who plays Big B’s wife was seen in a beautiful saree. The shooting is taking place in lightning speed because Ramu does not want to waste even a single second. His technical team finishes the lighting work fast and gets ready for the shoot at the earliest.  Ramu’s enthusiasm levels remained top line and he got the best work from all the artists. Amit Roy is the cinematographer of the film.  There were many tight close ups that Amit took of Big B and Amit.
In one of the scenes where Nina Kulkarni and Neetu Chandra were seated on a sofa along with Sudeep and Simone Singh, a soft focus of Amitabh Bachchan seen in-between them from a distance was to be shot with no dialogues from the senior most actor. A figure like Mr Bachchan is in soft focus yet it is the most important scene according to RGV because he thinks that people still have their eyes on Big B. For a second, you want to believe that Big B was like a fly on the wall. He had to be there long enough that people forget that he was there. You have to second guess what is going on and to be there for three to four takes to get the moment. But it’s only the fly that is in your mind. Killing the scene softly, RGV requests Amit Roy to then take his favourite shot – close up of Big B’s facial expressions. ‘Cut’ says the director and off we go for lunch.
Shot two goes under way with a dining table breakfast scene where Sudeep, Mr Bachchan and Nina are seated where Big B again has no dialogues. With nothing to say and get the scene perfect has become RGV’s trademark. Talk about a team player. He puts everything he has into it. But as soon as the shot was in its second take, a child actor named Rahul gets hit on his head against the glass slide door which he thought was open. The crew got worried but more worried was Mr Bachchan. He walks up to the main door from the breakfast table, orders the ice and rubs it gently on Rahul’s forehead.
Crying in pain, the cute boy couldn’t see the fun coming his way. In order to divert the attention of Rahul, he rubs the ice on his face and slowly into his tee. Cry turned into smiles and in a second into laughter for Rahul. Everyone including Ramu was present during the picture perfect moment when Rahul got his best picture clicked with Mr Bachchan before the pack up announcement was made.
