The director's debut was "Thithi" in Kannada, which was set in a small village. Raam says it is "unlikely" that his next will be set in a village.
"My next film is unlikely to be set in a village. I am not sure which language I am going to do it in. I want to make a film on magic-realism. It will be globally-oriented with professional actors. I have just started writing it," Raam told PTI.
The director says for his next, his intention is not to take "stars" but professional actors.
"I am not not looking for stars, but actors who are professionals because magic realism is a genre which requires control of a different kind. So it is more specific," he said.

"When you're working with non professionals, you have to make adjustments to help the story work in a way that they are comfortable. I am not keen on doing that for my next. So that's why professional actors," he added.
"The first intention is that I want to make a certain kind of film. I am not the kind of filmmaker who would like to be labelled in any kind of way. 'Thithi' was a rebellion against that kind of labelling so the next one will continue to be a rebellion but may be in a totally different package.
