Janardhana met Suniel in Mumbai, a photograph which is in possession with City Express. “I feel lucky to have him on board,” Janardhan says, adding, “An established Bollywood actor like Suniel Shetty is interested in Karnataka and the Kannada langauge. Although he liked the concept of our film, only after five to six rounds of discussions, did he give his nod to be part of the project,” the director tells us.
