Never the one to forget his roots (and sometimes this memory goes so far as to wish to come back and settle down in Hyderabad), Ram Gopal Varma has a bonanza for three Telugu stars namely, Rana Daggubati, Manchu Lakshmi and Madhu Shalini.

Revealing that Rana plays a powerful cop character in Department, RGV indicated that the Leader actor's role is a full-fledged one in the film. Getting such a role in a film that stars Amitabh Bacchan and Sanjay Dutt in the leads, is an achievement in itself.

Manchu Lakshmi's role too is not an inconsequential cameo. She plays Sanjay Dutt's wife in the movie. (Sanjay Dutt plays the head of an anti-mafia force).

Last but not the least, Madhu Shalini too has a piece of cake in the big-ticket film.

It may be noted that Kota Srinivasa Rao, Shubhalekha Sudhakar, Jeeva, Brahmaji and many more have been seen in RGV's Hindi projects like Sarkar, Sarkar Raj etc., in the past.
