Rann

Ace director Ram Gopal Varma focuses on media and its behind-the-scenes truth in Rann(battle). Rann has Varma's favourite hero, Amitabh Bachchan playing the protagonist.

Media is intended to bring news or what is new to the common man, but it is not always the easiest task. So, to withstand the immense competition from other channels and newspapers, the easiest thing is to present anything and everything as a news. Media has a tremendous impact on the common man - politicians, industrialists and the people who run the media realize this.

With these factors affecting the media, has it lost its purpose. Is the media looking at revenue generation than to bring the truth to the common man. Rann takes a look at this and exposes what is happening behind the curtains.

Rann is produced by Madhu Mantena and Sheetal Vinod Talwar. Amit Roy is the cinematographer and Aparna Sud is the art director of Rann.
