Ram Gopal Varma has announced his next movie titled "Shashikala", and says it is the story of a "dearest closest friend of a politician". The title and plot suggests the film has a lot to do with former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa's close aide V.K. Sasikala but the filmmaker says the project is "fictional".

Varma on Thursday night announced the title of the film.

The 54-year-old filmmaker said he has immense respect for Jayalalithaa, who died in Chennai on December 5. Now members of AIADMK are requesting Sasikala, her close aide, to become the political party's General Secretary, but she is yet to give her consent.
