Producer
Praveen
Kumar
has
now
turned
independent
producer
with
a
new
film
Maharshi
which
was
launched
on
Monday
at
Venkateshwara
Temple
in
Mahalakshmi
Layout.
Praveen
Kumar
had
earlier
made
"Ugadi'
and
'Panduranga
Vittala'
with
Ganesh.
Maharshi
has
Orata
hero
Prashanth
in
the
lead
and
Kannada
film
industry's
lucky
heroine
Pooja
Gandhi
playing
the
heroine's
role.
The
film
is
being
directed
by
Krishna
Brahma
who
has
worked
as
an
assistant
director
to
many
top
Telugu
film
directors.
Producer
Praveen
Kumar
(Hassan
Ramakrishna)
said
that
he
met
Krishna
Brahma
on
the
sets
of
his
own
"Ugadi'.
'Telugu
actor
Srikanth
who
was
acting
in
"Ugadi'
had
introduced
Krishna
Brahma
to
me.
During
one
of
our
interactions,
Krishna
had
narrated
a
story
line
which
I
felt
was
interesting.
He
has
worked
with
many
top
directors
and
has
a
good
hold
on
the
technical
side.
I
was
impressed
with
his
passion
and
readily
agreed
to
produce
the
film
if
he
delivers
me
the
full
script
with
dialogues.
Krishna
took
some
time
and
presented
me
with
the
whole
script.
Now,
I
am
launching
this
film.
Both
Prashanth
and
Pooja
Gandhi
would
fit
into
the
roles
perfectly'
said
Praveen.
Krishna
Brahma
thanked
Praveen
for
giving
him
a
big
break
to
direct
a
film.
