Big B took to social media recently to share the

trailer

of RGV’s Coronavirus and he had nothing but good things to say about his old friend. Calling him ‘irrepressible’, he wrote, “The irrepressible Ram Gopal Varma, 'Ramu' to many .. 'Sarkaaar' to me .. makes an entire film about a family in Lockdown, shot during

Lockdown

..” (sic)


Talking more about the film, he added, “Titled: CORONAVIRUS.. perhaps the first film to be made on the virus ..This be the TRAILER ..” (sic) RGV revealed that the film was shot during lockdown, “We shot the CORONAVIRUS film in the LOCKDOWN period while strictly following guidelines and this I swear on ESHWAR, ALLAH, JESUS and the GOVERNMENT.” (sic) he wrote.

Making it clear that Coronavirus is not ‘just a

horror

film’, he wrote, “CORONAVIRUS is not a HORROR film. It is about the HORRORS which are inside all of us including our great political leaders and beaurecrauts who actually know only as much as us which is just nothing .”THE ONLY THING I KNOW IS THAT I KNOW NOTHING”-Socrates” (sic) He also stated that while rest of the film industry was busy sweeping floors (possibly referring to the #BeTheRealMan challenge) he added, “When the rest of film people were SWEEPING FLOORS, COOKING FOOD ,WASHING UTENSILS , DRYING CLOTHES etc etc I MADE A FILM.” (sic)


Produced by Ram Gopal Varma, Coronavirus is directed by Agasthya Manju and sees music composed by DSR. The film sees Srikanth Ayangar and more in key roles.
