and

Shivaraj
Kumar
returns
to
act
in
Gowda's
film
after
Tavarige
Baa
Thangi
and
he
has
been
teamed
up
in
the
film
with
Gowri
who
had
earlier
acted
with
Puneet
Raj
Kumar
in
Namma
Basava
and
Murali
in
Gopi.
It

a
colorful
and
gala
launch

on
Monday
morning.
Power
Star
Puneet
Raj
Kumar
held
the
clap
for
the
film
and
another
successful
young
star
Sudeep
switched
on
the
camera.
The
event
attracted
a
lot
of
dignitaries
from
the
Kannada
film
industry.
Addressing
the
media
persons
later,
director
Mahendar
said
that
he
was
happy
that
both
producer
R.S.Gowda
and
the
film's
hero
Shivaraj
Kumar
had
insisted
that
he
had
to
direct
this
film.
He
said
that
the
story
dealt
with
the
travails
of
a
middle
class
family
where
the
hero
finds
it
difficult
to
hold
to
his
principles
and
also
lead
an
honest
life.
He
said
that
the
incidents
in
the
film
would
relate
very
well
with
the
viewers
as
the
script
is
based
on
the
day
to
day
happenings
in
any
family.
But
his
commitment
to
values
and
good
life
would
remain
till
the
end,
declared
Mahendar.
He
said
that
the
entire
talkie
portions
of
the
film
will
be
shot
in
two
schedules
of
twenty
days
each
and
the
song
sequences
would
be
shot
later.
He
said
that
the
film
would
be
shot
entirely
in
Karnataka
and
he
did
not
personally
believe
that
shooting
songs
in
abroad
will
add
up
to
the
film's
value.
Award

film
writer
B.A.
Madhu
has
written
the
story,
screenplay
and
dialogues
for
the
film.

he
was
happy
to
make
a
film
with
Shivanna
who
had
worked
in
his
previous
hit
film
Tavarige
Baa
Thangi.
'The
story
suits
him
perfectly
and
we
are
trying
to
make
it
as
authentic
as
possible' Gowda
said.
Shivaraj
Kumar
said
that
he
had
traveled
in
Bus
in
the
then
Madras
when
he
was
studying
in
college.
He
has
had
a
close
watch
on
the
way
a
Bus

behaves.

that
the

was
very
