Just
when
we
thought
Power
Star
Puneeth
Rajkumar
would
start
shooting
for
Pavan
Wadeyar's
film
after
Raajkumara,
the
Power
Star
has
surprised
one
and
all
by
giving
a
'go
ahead'
for
a
different
film,
which
will
go
on
the
sets
from
December.
Appu
has
given
his
call
sheet
to
choreographer
turned
director
A
Harsha.
Harsha
has
been
entrusted
with
the
responsibility
of
remaking
Tamil
hit
Poojai
which
had
Vishal
and
Shruthi
Hassan
playing
the
lead
roles.
MN
Kumar
and
Jayashri
Devi,
who
are
basking
in
the
success
of
Upendra
and
Sudeep
starrer
Mukunda
Murari,
will
be
bankrolling
this
project
which
has
already
created
a
huge
buzz
just
with
the
formal
announcement.
Harsha
has
choreographed
a
number
of
hit
songs
for
Appu,
but
this
is
the
first
time
he
will
be
directing
the
star.
He
has
only
done
'swamakes'
so
far
and
he
usually
stays
away
from
remakes.
But
he
accepted
a
remake
film
because
he
did
not
want
to
let
go
off
the
opportunity
to
direct
Appu.
In
the
past
he
had
rejected
the
offer
to
direct
the
remake
of
Telugu
film
Kick,
for
the
same
producer
MN
Kumar.
The
makers
intend
to
shoot
the
major
portions
of
the
film
in
Rajasthan
and
Bangalore.
The
director
is
also
looking
to
cast
actors,
who
have
not
worked
with
Appu
in
the
past,
as
he
feels
this
will
give
a
new
look
to
the
film.
Puneeth
has
a
few
more
days
of
shoot
left
for
Raajkumara.
He
will
be
completing
the
work
for
the
film
by
December,
and
after
a
brief
break
he
will
join
the
sets
of
Harsha's
film.
More
details
about
the
cast
and
crew
are
yet
to
be
revealed.
Th
team
has
already
begun
the
pre-production
work
as
producers
are
looking
forward
to
start
shoot
of
the
film
in
January
2017.
