RGV Shares Throwback Picture With Legendary Actress

Ram Gopal Varma shared a picture from the set of Kshana Kshanam

Ram Gopal Varma frequently takes to social media to share throwback pictures from the sets of his past films. He also sometimes shares images of people who inspire his work. On December 24, he shared an image from Kshana Kshanam with Sridevi and Venkatesh. The actress collaborated twice with Ram Gopal Varma. The first was for the film ‘Kshana Kshanam’ and the second time was for Govinda Govinda, co-starring Nagarjuna.

Although ‘Kshana Kshanam’ is Ram Gopal Varma’s second directorial venture, it is touted as an RGV classic. It is popularly remembered for the excellent performances of the film’s lead actors, Sridevi and Venkatesh. ‘Kshana Kshanam’ loosely based on the film ‘Romancing the Stone’ was well received by critics at the time of its release. Thirty years since, it continues to remain a favourite among fans. 

Along with the throwback image, the director also shared an interview of him talking about the making of the movie, from its conception to the casting process. In the interview, he talked about writing the story specifically with Sridevi in mind and pitching the story to her. RGV also talks about how all his films are loosely based on Hollywood movies that he loves. For example, Rangeli is inspired by the Julie Andrews starrer 'Sound of Music’ and ‘Singing in the Rain’. He also talked about how he connected with Sridevi over their shared love for such classics. 

The behind-the-scenes image from ‘Kshana Kshanam’ has quickly become viral, with fans of both the director and the actress, sharing the picture on their social media.
