Ram Gopal Varma’s one of the most active directors on the scene is coming up with a film called ‘A Love Story’ along with his mega budget movie ‘Department’. The movie is based on the murder of Neeraj Grover by actress Maria Susairaj and boyfriend Emili Jerome.
Varma confirmed, “The Maria Susairaj case has always fascinated me in the context, of how two everyday ordinary people can kill another man, cut his body into pieces and then douse the body parts in kerosene. According to me, it is one of the most brutal and horrifying murder stories I have heard in my life. It made me curious and so I did some research on the case. I spoke to the friends and relatives of both the parties – the accused and the victim. I also spoke to the investigators. To my shock, I found out that underneath this most heinous crime, there is actually an incredible love story. It was love, which triggered the murder, drove them to cut the body and turned them into such dreadful souls. That is why I decided the most apt title for the film would be – A Love Story. It’s from the heart but not for the faint-hearted.”
Mahie Gill will play the role of Maria Susairaj while the characters of Neeraj Grover and Emili Jerome are still to be decided. The film goes on floors on April 9. Surprisingly, when the murder had happened, the media had referred to this incident as an RGV thriller. Seems to have come true!
