BANGALORE: Here is good news for Action King Arjun Sarja’s fans. Sarja is making a comeback after a gap of around 10 years. His previous film was Sri Manjunatha, in which Soundarya and Mega Star Chiranjeevi had played important roles. It was directed by well-known Telugu director Raghavendra Rao.
Now, Sarja is acting in a multi-lingual film Kontract. Its muhurat function was held in Sri Kanteerava Studios on Monday. The speciality of this film is that actor-cum-director JD Chakravarthy, who earned fame with films such as Bombaayi Priyudu, Mani and Anaganagaa Oka Roju and Hindi film Sathya, makes his debut in Sandalwood. He has been assigned a negative character that harasses and haunts beautiful Minissha Lamba in Kontract.
It was said that Sameer worked as JD Chakravarthy associate for four films. He has also worked as an associate for the Kannada film Srimathi. Appreciating the skills of Sameer, Chakravarthy said: “He is known for his hardwork and scheduling the shooting without causing inconvenience to any of the artistes. I wish him success in Sandalwood.”
According to Sameer, the story of Kontract is about a war between two business magnets. “It is a triangular love story. While Sarja plays an honest and successful business baron, Chakravarthy plays a negative role,” says Sameer.
The shooting of the film will be held in Bangalore, Mysore, Hyderabad and Malaysia. “We are planning to shoot a few sequences at Lalitha Mahal in Mysore. We have availed permission for this,” says director Sameer.
Item girl Mallika Sherawat is expected to set the silver screen on fire with her dancing skills. “Mallika’s role is brief. She makes guest appearance in this film,” says Sameer.
Kabir Lal is working behind the camera for this big-budget film.
