Director Ram Gopal Varma has joined hands with filmmaker Madhu Mantena for a web-series D-Company. Varma said "only" an web series can do justice to the kind of material he has collected over two decades.
Varma tweeted on Twitter: "Me and Madhu Mantena team up for a web series D Company, a chronicle of the Mumbai underworld. "Starting from rise of Dawood Ibrahim in early 1980's and initiation of D Company -- story will be till end of the tremendous gang wars that started post 93 blasts."
The Sarkar director said: "I have been collecting data since nearly 20 years actually from even before I made Satya and Company. Only a web series like 'D Company can do justice to the kind of material I have with me." Varma in 2002 came up with Company, a film loosely based on the Indian mafia organisation D-Company, said to be run by the elusive Dawood Ibrahim.
It was the second film in the gangster trilogy, and a sequel to the blockbuster Satya. Company starred Mohanlal, Ajay Devgn, Vivek Oberoi, Manisha Koirala, and Antara Mali in pivotal roles.
