Actor Ganesh, in his earlier interviews with CE, had said that his next project Geetha, directed by debutant Vijay Nagendra, will be one-of-a-kind subject. It now seems like the film, in its pre-production stage, is shaping out well and is equally generating interest among people with its star cast.
Along with Parvathy Arun, the other heroine to share screen space with the Golden star will be Prayaga Rose Martin. Having started off as a child artiste in Mollywood, she has established herself as a promising actor with some good projects in Malayalam.
Prayaga was last seen in Ramleela, in which she played the female lead opposite Dileep. She has also made her mark in Tamil industry with Pisasu, and Geetha will be her first venture in Kannada. No details about her and other actors’ roles in the film are out yet.
The director will reveal details when he makes an official announcement.
The film is being produced by Syed Salaam in association with the actor’s production house — Golden Movies. It revives the classic title Geetha of Shankar Nag’s film released in 1981. The fresh story by Vijay Nagendra is also said to have the traits of the legend’s personality in Ganesh’s character.
Vijay Nagendra brings in his experience of working with director Santhosh Ananddramm, who directed films like Mr and Mrs Ramachari and Raajakumara.
The latter is even said to have lent his opinions for the film’s script, and this has only created more hype. The makers are planning to kick-start the shoot on December 3 after Ganesh is done with his commitments for his upcoming film Orange and Gimmick.
Meanwhile, the team is finalising the rest of the cast and the third heroine, which they plan to decide before they go on floors.
Geetha has V Harikrishna scoring the music and Shreesha Kuduvalli handling the cinematography.
