That's the point (of the film)," he added.Varma's fascination with the underworld as a theme for his movies also reflects in his other movies Company (2002) and D (2005).Varma is known to launch new faces in the industry and Satya 2 marks the debut of three young actors - lead actor Puneet Singh and actresses Anaika Soti and Aradhna.While Satya marked the arrival of Manoj Bajpayee, Company was the debut of Vivek Oberoi. Besides, Varma gave Urmila Matondkar a huge platform through "Rangeela" in 1995.Varma agrees there are "certain characters where you cannot do without established stars because you can use their baggage to push the character". But that does not apply always, according to him.Satya 2 is slated to release Oct 25.IANS
