May 18 marks two years of Raambo 2. The film starring Sharan bore the same title of the comedian’s 100th film and his first film as a lead hero. However, the comedy-thriller did not have any relevance to its Part 1. The film was directed by Anil Kumar under the banner of Laddoo Cinema, and produced by a group of technicians and actors who had turned producers.
They included Atlanta Nagendra, Sharan, director Tharun Sudhir, cinematographer Sudhakar S Raj, music director Arjun Janya, and editor KM Prakash and art director, Mohan B Kere. The film was declared a blockbuster hit, and had a successful 100-day run at the box office.
The makers are now looking to take forward the Raambo series and make it a franchise. “We want to keep the Raambo series going with Sharan, and we will take it up once we get the right kind of script, which makes for a good comedy entertainer,” says director Tharun Kishore Sudhir, who was the creative head of Raambo 2.
The film had Ashika Ranganath playing the female lead. Also a hit was its Chuttu Chuttu song featuring the two. The peppy track has been one of the most viewed Kannada video songs on various social media platforms. Raambo 2 had brought together a host of comedians and actors, with the cast comprising Chikkanna, Tabla Nani, Kuri Pratap, and Sadhu Kokila among others.
