Raviteja in RGV’S KSD Appalaraju

Comedian tuned Hero Sunil is playing the Hero in KSD Appalaraju, while Swati and Sakshi are playing the heroines in ‘Katha, Screenplay, Darsakatvam Appalaraju’ directed by Ram Gopal Varma and produced by Kiran Kumar Koneru on the banner of Shreya Productions.
Several dupes are being used for the film. However, it is reliably learnt that Raviteja is playing a small role in this movie and presently some scenes are being shot with Raviteja.
Does it mean Ram Gopal Varma has respect to Raviteja or treating him as if he is not greater than a dupe?
