Meet ‘Minimum Guarantee’ artiste Jaggesh who is still basking in the success of his recent movie ‘Double Decker’. Many heroes in Sandalwood envy Jaggesh’s luck to have two heroines.
In ‘Double Decker’, Jaggesh had the luxury of shaking leg with Shradha Arya and Shia Gautham. Now, Jaggesh, who is also known as ‘Navarasa Nayaka’, will have two young heroines — Daisy Shah and Spoorthi — in his latest movie ‘Bodyguard’.
However, Jaggesh wants to complain in his own way. “After my son became a hero, I am finding it tough to have heroines for my movies,” rues Jaggesh. His wife Parimala is the producer while Anand has handled the megaphone for this movie. Vinay Chandra has composed music for this romantic comedy. He had already composed music for Pooja Gandhi-starred ‘Nee Raani Naa Maharani’.
Though Daisy Shah was comfortable during the shooting, Spoorthi was nervous. “I was not sure whether to call the hero as Jaggesh sir or Jaggesh uncle. I am very close to Jaggesh’s son Yathiraj. I asked him whether I could call his father as Jaggesh uncle. He told me that he has no objection,” recalls Spoorthi.
Expressing gratitude for being selected as one of the heroines, Spoorthi said: “I have attended many auditions. While a few directors end up asking me to call them after a few days, others indulge in asking silly questions. I am very grateful to Jaggesh uncle and Parimala aunt not only for selecting me as the heroine (with a few dialogues) but also making the payment (remuneration) without any delay. It is difficult to find such producers in Sandalwood.”
