Mahesh, who earned name and fame with the success of Mussanje Maathu and was in the lime light for his tiff with Golden Star Ganesh’s wife Shilpa over the shooting of Kool, is ready with the script for his film Shivaratri. He made all arrangements except selecting a suitable girl to play heroine role. P K H Das has been assigned to work behind the camera. Sridhar is composing music for this film.
Meanwhile, Nagendra Prasad has also made all arrangements for muhurat function of Punyavantha. It is believed that Prasad had already discussed the film with Shivarajkumar.
Raghava Loki, who made debut as director with Satya In Love’, expects his film to be Shivarajkumar’s 101st film. Shivarajkumar and Genelia were the lead pair in Satya In Love that was shot in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Now, Loki wants his latest film to be picturised in foreign countries and Karnataka “The script demands foreign location and I am yet to decide the title,” said Loki.
While Mailari’s shooting is almost complete, Jogayya’s shooting is in progress. Taj Mahal fame R Chandru has handled the megaphone for Mailari in which Sada and Sanjana are the heroines. Prem, who directed Shivarajkumar’s Jogi, is the director for Jogayya while his wife Rakshita is the producer. Mailari’s audio function is expected to be held at Davangere shortly.
