Renowned filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has revealed details about his most ambitious project to date, titled Syndicate. Known for his cinematic brilliance in films like Satya and Rangeela, Varma admitted to losing creative focus over the years but vowed to redeem himself with this groundbreaking film. He declared that Syndicate will not only be his “biggest film ever” but will also “wash away all his cinema sins.”
A Revolutionary Concept
Varma shared the unique premise of Syndicate on X (formerly Twitter). The story explores the rise of a terrifying criminal organization that threatens the very fabric of India’s existence. According to him, this group is unlike any criminal entity seen before, as it merges political forces, law enforcement, ultra-wealthy businessmen, and even military personnel into a single, powerful syndicate.
The film is described as a futuristic crime drama, not set in a distant future but in a world that could emerge at any moment. Drawing a parallel, Varma noted how the world was unaware of Al-Qaeda until September 11, 2001. Similarly, Syndicate delves into the possibility of a shadowy organization rising suddenly, fueled by intense political and social polarization.
Exploring the Cyclical Nature of Crime
The film will investigate how crime and terror evolve over time. Varma highlighted that while street gangs of the 1970s were absorbed into political parties, and smugglers were defeated by economic reforms, newer, deadlier forms of crime replaced them. He referenced groups like D Company and global organizations like ISIS to explain this evolution. In Syndicate, Varma promises to depict this chilling cycle, where every victory over crime leads to the emergence of something more dangerous.
A Film That Exposes Human Horrors
Varma emphasized that Syndicate is not about supernatural elements. Instead, it portrays the dark realities of human nature, showing how greed, power, and ambition can create unimaginable horrors. The tagline of the movie, “Only man can be the most terrifying animal,” sets the tone for a gripping and intense narrative.
A Commitment to Redemption
Reflecting on his career, Varma admitted that his success with Satya and other classics led to arrogance and creative missteps. Watching Satya again after 27 years left him emotional and inspired him to return to his roots. He declared that Syndicate would be his chance to regain the trust of his audience.
What’s Next?
Varma has promised to reveal more details about the cast and crew soon. He sounded confident that Syndicate will mark a turning point in his career and Indian cinema as a whole. If successful, it will reaffirm his legacy as one of the most talented directors in the industry.
With Syndicate, Ram Gopal Varma aims to deliver a film that combines bold storytelling, thrilling action, and a deep exploration of societal issues. Audiences are eagerly awaiting what could be the most ambitious project of his career.
