According
to
Dr.
Vishnu,
movie
Aaptha

a
not
a
sequel

He
says
that
his
character
and
Avinash's
character
are
the
only
ones,
which
have
been
retained
from
Apthamitra.
But
Srinivas
Murthy,
Komal
and
Ramesh
Bhat
are
new
entries.

adds
that
the
film
crew
had
some
strange
experience
during
shooting
of
the
movie.
Director
P
Vasu
says
that
Aaptha
Rakshaka
has
the
graphics
and
special
effects
of
very
high
standards.
It
is
one
of
the
best
graphical
movie
very
much
unlike
what
Kannada
audience
has
experienced
before.
He
adds
that
Guru
Kiran
has
scored
music
for
five
songs.
The
original
song
'Ra
Ra,
Sarasaku
Ra
Ra...'
from
Apthamitra
has
be
retained.
The
film
is
set
to

However,
Aaptha
Rakshaka
is
Sahasa
Simha
Dr.Vishnuvardhan's
200th
movie
in
the
last
four
decades
in
Kannada
Cinema.
He
had
made
his
