Chakravarthy more often known as J.D. Chakravarthy by the telugu film audience marked his debut in Ram Gopal Varma’s debut path breaking blockbuster ‘Shiva’ as a fellow student named J.D. After that, he played several supporting, side and lead roles in Telugu before RGV launched him in bollywood through ‘Satya’.
He re-surfaced again in Telugu through several films which flopped miserably at the box office. He ghost directed ‘Suri’ which had its plot very similar to ‘Satya’. This was later dubbed into Hindi as ‘Durga’. J.D took credit for the hindi version for direction whereas the telugu version doesn’t show his name as the director. God only must be knowing what he was thinking for putting his name as the director for a dubbing movie.
He again ghost directed 'Madhyahnam Hatya' which drew a lot of flak from several women organizations. Finally he made an official entry into direction through ‘Darwaaza Bandh Rakho’. GOD…What a piece of crap were all these films !! Not even in a single frame in any of these movies had J.D shown his creative talent.
Now it is learnt that he is planning to remake the 2006 Academy Award winning Martin Scorsese classic ‘The Departed’. This film takes place in Boston, Massachusetts, where Irish Mob boss Francis "Frank" Costello (Jack Nicholson) implants Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon) as an informant within the Massachusetts State Police. Simultaneously, the police assign Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) to infiltrate Costello's crew. When both sides of the law realize the situation, the two men are dispatched to discover each other's identities.
JD is planning to make this film with Jagapathi Babu and himself in the lead along with Prakash Raj in the role Jack Nicholson made immortal. The title under consideration is ‘Homam’.
As always, Ram Gopal Varma, the man who believed in JD from his initial days and also produced all his directorial ventures (apart from Suri) is producing this film.
I sincerely wish JD good luck but at the same time pray to GOD to save this film from being a digusting INSPIRED version of ‘The Departed’.
