Directing Shivarajkumar in Bhairathi Ranagal is my responsibility, says Narthan
That Narthan would direct Shivarajkumar as the titular character in Bhairathi Ranagal was announced some time back, and it was considered a landmark project, being the Hat-trick hero’s 125th movie. However, going by the latest development, it seems that the Shivanna-Narthan collaboration may not be the Century Star 125th release. According to the director, the Covid-19 pandemic changed the entire schedule in 2020.
“Directing Shivanna is my responsibility, and he has also liked and approved the storyline. This was a project we had planned just after Mufti, but we couldn’t take off at that time. Shivanna got involved with other commitments, and I also got busy with my project with Yash, on which I have been working over the last year.
The number doesn’t matter, and whether it is Shivanna’s 125th or not, I will be directing Bhairathi Ranagal for him immediately after I complete my present commitment with Yash,” says Narthan. The one-film old director also adds that the story of Bhairathi Rangal is ready, and the team just has to go on the sets. “Secondly, the project requires a high budget, and I hope to raise the bar post my pan-India film with Yash,” he reveals.
