Rudratandava trio is back, this time in a thriller

The film, titled Samhaara will be directed by Guru Deshpande. It stars Chiranjeevi Sarja, Chikkana in it; Hariprriya and Kavya Shetty will play female leads 

The team of actors Chiranjeevi Sarja and Chikkanna and director Guru Deshpande is back together for the second time after Rudratandava. Chiranjeevi was drawn to the project because of the script and the team. 
This time, the trio will be doing a suspense thriller titled Samhaara, woven around a romance.

The shooting for this will start from April 29. Guru Deshpande decided on Chiranjeevi because he fits the role to the T.

“Off late, Chiranjeevi has been very choosy about his roles,” says Guru Deshpande, “and this too will be a different subject for the actor to try.”  he adds.


   While Chiranjeevi has worked in thrillers like Aatagara and the yet-to-be-released Aake, this is the first time the director is attempting this genre.

Guru says, “I wanted a change after having been part of family dramas and action-based films. I will soon be directing three films in different genres,  one with Prajwal Devaraj and Ravichandran, produced by MN Kumar, and another with a newcomer Danveer.”


The director says that thrillers are not just for the multiplex audience, and this is a wrong generalisation. “My film will definitely be for mass audience,” he says. “It will cause the jitters and will have a strong storyline that has a social message about love.

I don’t think any other film has tried to connect the two... There will also be Chikkanna for the comedy track.”


Guru Deshpande has roped in two Kannada heroines - Hariprriya, who waited for a good script after Neerdose, and Kavya Shetty. The film produced by Venkatesh and Kamraj has 
Jagadish Walli as cinematographer and KM Prakash as its editor.
