Actor
Prem
Kumar
is
popularly
known
as
lovely
star
and
romantic
hero
for
all
these
years.
The
Nenapirali
star
now
seems
to
decided
to
shed
his
chocolate
boy
image
and
take
on
muscle
flexing
roles.
The
Kannada
star
is
playing
a
tough
cop
in
his
upcoming
movie
Shatru,
which
happens
to
be
his
first
full-fledged
action
drama.
Prem
Kumar
has
done
lot
of
preparation
for
the
role
of
a
cop.
He
has
closely
watched
his
colleagues'
appearance
as
cops
on
screen.
He
has
also
spoken
to
real
life
cops
and
taken
important
advises.
He
has
even
taken
tips
from
Duniya
Vijay
for
action
portions.
Another
important
thing
is
that
he
has
not
used
dupes
in
risky
shots
also.
The
Jothe
Jotheyali
star
has
worked
for
eight
months
on
his
first
full
fledge
action
flick
Shatru,
which
has
be
shot
for
35
days
at
a
village
named
Hooli
near
Savadatti
in
Belgaum.
Another
biggest
challenge
of
Prem
Kumar
was
that
he
was
to
work
in
the
48
degree
temperature.
The
actor
says
that
the
film
Shatru
is
going
to
be
counter
and
encounter
as
he
is
featured
alongside
tough
actor
like
Sharat
Lohitashva.
However,
Shatru
is
directed
by
Jagadish
Kumar,
who
has
earlier
worked
with
big
Indian
filmmakers
like
Priyadarshan,
Mahesh
Bhatt
and
KV
Raju.
He
himself
has
written
the
script
based
on
a
real
incident
in
Bihar.
The
hero
acts
like
Lord
Sri
Krishna
in
solving
the
problems.
The
director
says
that
the
movie
has
an
intelligent
screenplay,
which
does
not
allow
the
audience
to
relax
even
for
a
minute.
