​Ram Gopal Varma To Make Acting Debut With Cobra

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has announced that he will be making his acting debut in his next bilingual project "Cobra", which he will co-direct with Agasthya Manju.

Ram Gopal Varma took to social media to announce his next project, of course not without his antics. He wrote, “Ahem! On the occasion of my birthday today, I am debuting as an actor for the first time in my career. I wouldn't mind if you don't bless me. Thanks," Varma tweeted and also shared the first look poster of the film.

The film is a biopic based on "the most dangerous criminal ever". The poster also featured the line, referring to the titular character in the film. "If he's arrested half the police department will be thrown into jail."

In "Cobra", RGV plays an intelligence officer called R. In addition to acting, RGV is also co-producing the film in association with DPR. The film also stars KG and Ranga Rao. The rest of the cast and crew are yet to be revealed.

Ram Gopal Varma further added in his tweet, “COBRA is a biopic of a rowdy sheeter turned naxalite turned Police covert agent turned gangster...While the likes of Dawood Ibrahims and Chota Rajans ruled the criminal world on brand names, the Cobra ruled in anonymity...No one knew of his existence till he died”
