On Sunday, September 13, Varma posted a selfie with Suri on X and said their “love dish” would be “full of gangster curry,” with more details coming soon. That is the news. There is no title, cast announcement or release date yet. Still, film readers have a reason to pay attention: Varma is associated with hard-edged crime films such as *Satya* and *Company*, while Suri’s recent *Saiyaara*, starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has put his romantic and musical instincts back in the conversation. The question is not what the film is yet. It is what these two styles might ask of each other. ## Ram Gopal Varma’s “love dish” arrives before the menu As the *Free Press Journal* reported, Varma wrote on X that he and “#Saiyaara’s @mohit11481” were cooking together for Suri’s next film. His message promised that details would be “served very very soon.” The wording was playful, but the collaboration itself was presented as confirmed. That leaves a lot of empty plates. The filmmakers have not said whether Varma is directing, producing, writing or filling another role on the project. The report also does not identify the story, the setting or the rest of the cast. For now, the public announcement is a meeting of names and an unusually vivid description. Suri’s side of the equation is easier to picture in broad terms. His recent romantic drama *Saiyaara* has been widely discussed, and the film’s pairing of Panday and Padda made music and feeling central to its identity. Varma, by contrast, has spent much of his career linked with urban crime stories and morally rough characters. The new film, if Varma’s phrase is taken at face value, wants both kitchens open at once. ![Ram Gopal Varma](https://pokemon-dive.us-lax-4.linodeobjects.com/cinepixo/posts/2026/09/f9dc6377-bbfe-48bb-a453-02431088667a.webp) *Photo: Bollywood Hungama · [CC BY 3.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0) · [source](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ram_Gopal_Varma-BJP.jpg)* ## Fans hear echoes of *Satya* and *Company* The reaction came quickly. Several fans asked for the kind of gangster film associated with Varma’s earlier work. One comment imagined Kallu Mama singing “Saiyaara Tu To Badla Nahi Hai,” folding a familiar romantic song into a Varma-style crime world. Another fan urged Varma to show the “GenZ and reels generation” something like *Company* or *Sarkar*. A third suggested adding the raw gangster flavor of *Satya* and *Company* to Suri’s “music magic.” Those are fan hopes, not project details, and the distinction matters because the filmmakers have not promised a return to any earlier franchise or style. The comments do reveal the bargain audiences are already making in their heads. They are not waiting for a plain romance or a plain crime picture. They want the rough edges of Varma’s gangster films, then they want Suri’s songs and emotional swell laid over them. Whether that mixture works is unknowable today. The premise, though, gives people something concrete to imagine. ![Mohit Suri](https://pokemon-dive.us-lax-4.linodeobjects.com/cinepixo/posts/2026/09/dcce7f7c-9ce8-4092-bd80-8e77747b0385.webp) *Photo: Bollywood Hungama · [CC BY 3.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0) · [source](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mohit_Suri.jpg)* ![Film Daud, directed by Ram Gopal Varma and starring Sanjay Dutt and Urmila Matondkar](https://pokemon-dive.us-lax-4.linodeobjects.com/cinepixo/posts/2026/09/93b880c9-16c3-49cc-a93b-b1dcc3576633.webp) *Photo: Duggempudi Ravinder Reddy · [CC BY-SA 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0) · [source](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Film_Daud,_directed_by_Ram_Gopal_Varma_and_starring_Sanjay_Dutt_and_Urmila_Matondkar.jpg)* ## What the collaboration asks of Mohit Suri A filmmaker coming off a widely discussed romantic drama now has to carry the weight of a phrase like “gangster curry.” That phrase belongs to Varma’s announcement, but it creates expectations around Suri’s next move. Viewers may look for lovers who are also criminals, songs that arrive beside violence, or a story where tenderness and danger share the same room. None of that has been confirmed. What is clear is that Suri’s musical reputation is now part of the project’s public identity before a frame has been shown. If the film does become a romance set inside a criminal world, the songs will have a job beyond decoration. They would have to hold feeling while the story deals with power, fear and the people caught under both. That is a demanding assignment for any director. It can also be a hopeful one. Suri has already shown that he is comfortable making romance a central engine, and Varma has a long association with gangster narratives. The pairing gives each filmmaker a different kind of pressure: Suri must make the danger feel real, while Varma’s presence invites questions about whether the crime side will still have the old bite. ## The details are still under wraps The *Free Press Journal* report says the project’s details remain under wraps. It does not identify the production company, the budget, the shooting schedule or the actors beyond the collaboration between Varma and Suri. There is also no confirmation that the film will resemble *Satya*, *Company* or Suri’s earlier *Awarapan*, which one fan mentioned while guessing at the direction. So the honest reading is modest. A confirmed collaboration has been announced. Its public pitch joins love, music and gangsters. Fans are asking for a throwback crime drama, but the filmmakers have not said they are making one. For now, the most specific image comes from Varma himself: a shared kitchen, a love dish, and gangster curry waiting to be served. The next announcement will have to tell us who is eating, who is running the kitchen and what, exactly, is on the plate. ## How this piece was made **Format:** Editorial feature ## In this piece - [Ram Gopal Varma](https://cinepixo.com/people/ram-gopal-varma) - [Mohit Suri](https://cinepixo.com/people/mohit-suri) ## Sources - https://www.msn.com/en-in/general/general/ram-gopal-varma-confirms-collaboration-with-saiyaara-filmmaker-mohit-suri-love-dish-full-of-gangster-curry/ar-AA2c7Gnj - https://www.freepressjournal.in/entertainment/ram-gopal-varma-announces-new-collaboration-with-saiyaara-director-mohit-suri-fans-demand-satya-company-style-gangster-drama Every factual claim above is drawn from these.
