RK is also honest in his admission that the Deccani films lack diversity. There are just a couple of talents whom we know, then through them we identify others,” he says. Speaking about the challenges in making Deccani films and sustaining as a film industry he says, “This is a very small industry, we don’t have any recognised associations. It was I who selected Adnan Sajid Khan (Gullu Dada), who became a popular character,” RK says.
“Yes, many criticised me for not bringing in Mast Ali and Srivatsav, but I have introduced many other new talents in this film, who I hope will make it big. Due to personal differences, the team has parted ways. When the trailer of Hyderabad Nawabs 2 was released, many were disappointed that the film did not have either Dheer Charan Srivatsav (Ismail Bhai) or Mast Ali (Saleem), the Angrez gang, who also were part of the prequel Hyderabad Nawabs. There should be an undercurrent to connect with the audience." Again, since real estate is the happening thing, we made a film on it. When there was a boom in the radio stations, we did a film called FM (Fun Aur Masti). Recalling Angrez, which he co-wrote RK says, “I grew up in Hyderabad and nobody showed things which happen in real Hyderabad - like having chai conversations - on celluloid, so we wanted to show whatever actually happens in Hyderabad. RK sees his films as an opportunity to showcase what he calls "real Hyderabad". Since I was in the real estate industry, I know about such real life characters, and I tried to depict the same on screen. In Old City you can find a lot of people who are small-time brokers, masons and construction workers, who sell a small piece of land and boast about themselves as real estate businessmen or agents. Speaking about the film’s theme, RK says with a laugh, “Real estate is one of the most funny industries.
