Mumbai, Jul 3 (PTI) : The Mumbai underworld has always fascinated filmmakers and when Ram Gopal Varma decided to capture the normal life of gangsters in “Satya”, empathy was at the core of the story, says writer-actor Saurabh Shukla.
Considered a milestone in contemporary Indian cinema, “Satya”, which clocked 25 years on Monday, was the product of Varma’s extensive research on gangsters and the underworld. He eventually roped in first-time writers – Anurag Kashyap and Shukla to pen the screenplay.
The film explored the underbelly of the world of crime through well-etched characters of Satya (J D Chakravarthy), Bhiku Mhatre (Manoj Bajpayee) and Kallu Mama (Shukla).
