Ram Gopal Varma is coming with a controversial film Dangerous. The film is India’s first lesbian crime drama and stars Rajpal Yadav, Apsara Rani, Naina Ganguly, Palak Singh in important roles. The film’s intimate posters and teasers of Apsara Rani and Naina Ganguly left all shellshocked. Many even approached courts against Ram Gopal Varma for promoting obscenity.
RGV speaking to scribes shared the secrets of Dangerous. He said “This is my contribution to the LGBT cause. Despite the Supreme Court legitimising Section 377, I feel the subject still needs to be talked about and explained and that people still need to be educated on it. I imagined the best way to completely normalise the scenario would be to treat this love story as I would one between heterosexual couples.”
He added “My intention of making Dangerous has been to give love its due, no matter whom it is between. I also hope to send a message out there that love stories should not be restricted to heterosexuals and can be made in four other communities namely LGBT. Especially since the highest court of the land has legitimised it and decriminalised it, saying it’s normal, I believe you and I cannot segregate against it or look at it in a degrading or demeaning manner. With that in mind, I thought the best way forward was to make a regular film.”
About the film’s title Dangerous he said “That’s contextual to the storyline of the film. It’s actually a drama based on crime, action, love, sex and drama. It’s never been done in the world.” On passionate kissing scenes he questioned “I believe that if you’re making a passionate love story of two people in love, you need something that defines their love. I can’t have them just shaking hands or just touching elbows on the poster. This will not justify the intriguing and intense storyline, would it?”
