Irrespective of his recent string of box office failures,director Ram Gopal Varma is not giving up yet. For his next film,Bhoot 2,he has brought back Chakravarty,who played the title role in Satya. The movie is a sequel to the Urmila Matondkar and Ajay Devgn-starrer Bhoot (2004),which was among the last few critically acclaimed films that Varma made. Chakravarty has been missing from Bollywood for a long time,after doing films such as Vaastu Shastra and Aag. With Chakravartys return,will Varma also make a sequel to Satya? Time will tell.
