In a candid conversation, RGV said that even though the leading ladies in both the films, namely ‘Rangeela’ and NALS, have a similar ambition of becoming an actress, his forthcoming movie is not similar to the 1995’s Aamir-Urmila starrer.

Highlighting the difference between the two flicks, Ramu said that in ‘Rangeela’ the heroine achieves her goal and the film is about happiness and contentment, whereas in NALS, the protagonist fails to fulfill her dreams and lands herself in a dark world.

"Rangeela represented the spirit of happiness and success whereas Not a love story represents the exact opposite in terms of its dark theme," RGV told TOI.

‘Rangeela’ song used as a background score in NALS
Reports are trickling in that the 1995's chartbuster song ‘Hoja Rangeela Re’ has been used as a background score in RGV’s upcoming movie NALS.

Ramu bought the rights of the song and remixed it to make it apt for his dark thriller film, revealed sources.

Speaking about using the ‘Rangeela’ song in his film, Varma said, "I have incorporated the Rangeela song because it goes well with the mood in the film. Both the girls aspire to become an actress. While Urmila succeeds in Rangeela, Mahie turns into a murderer in Not A Love Story."

Sneak peek into ‘Not A Love Story’
‘Not A Love Story’ is a crime thriller starring Deepak Dobriyal, Ajay Gehi, and Mahie Gill in pivotal roles.

The movie has been inspired by the 2008’s Neeraj Grover murder case, in which the Kannada actress Maria Susairaj was convicted.

NALS is slated for an Aug. 19 release.
