Randeep Hooda's long-forgotten Rang Rasiya directed and produced by Ketan Mehta is likely to see light of day finally.
The 2008 costume drama based on the life of the 19th century Indian painter Raja Ravi Varma has Nandana Sen as his co-star. Though the movie was completed and also screened at some film festivals, it did not find any distributors for release.
Two years ago there were reports that a distributor had been found but nothing moved on the front.
There were apparently some issues due to some sensuous scenes between Randeep and Nandana.
According to a source, "Now that Randeep's last few releases like Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster and, Jism 2 fetched him rave reviews the makers have decided to give the film another shot and release it. Randeep also has Madhur Bhandarkar's upcoming film Heroine with Kareena Kapoor. The producers feel now is the best time to renew the release plans."
Producer/director Ketan Mehta said: "The film has been stuck. There were certain issues but we have now taken over the project and will release it soon." He adds, "I am aware that Randeep is hot property now, so the faster we release it, the better!"
