RGV's next '365 Days' not about his marriage

Maverick filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma's upcoming romantic drama "365 Days" is gearing up for release in May. RGV is making a comeback to the romance genre with 365 days. Nandoo and Anaika Soti are playing lead roles. In a recent media interaction RGV says the story of 365 Days, a peek in the life's of a couple post nuptials, is not based on his own marriage.

"It's the story of most couples nowadays. It's not based on my marriage. I penned the screenplay keeping in mind the emotions of a couple by looking at marriage from very close quarters," Varma told.

"I had a failed marriage. It was not because of my wonderful wife. It was because she got a bad husband," he said.

According to Varma, marriage will soon be an extinct concept. "A man and a woman need each other, but they can't live together by getting married. Marriage will no longer exist and people will prefer to be friends,"
