Producer
SV
Babu
is
once
again
to
prove
his
high
energy
levels
in
the
Kannada
film
industry.
He
is
all
set
to
make
a
Kannada
film
featuring
all
new
artists.
A
big
launch
was
organised
recently
for
the
benefit
of
the
media
and
a
few
film
personalities
when
all
the
new
boys
were
introduced.
It
was
a
bit
launch
that
was
held
in
Bell
Hotel
in
Bangalore
where
colourful
dances
of
the
six
boys
remained
the
major
attraction.
Producer
Babu
said
that
now
they
are
showcasing
the
training
and
talents
of
the
boys
who
will
act
in
the
lead
roles.
Shivamani
is
the
heroine
of
this
film.
SV
Babu
had
earlier
produced
films
like
Honeymoon
Express,
Thenali
Rama
and
Savi
Savi
Nanapu.
Incidentally,
Babu
has
already
started
shooting
for
his
film
Sangama
which
has
Ganesh
in
the
leading
role.
This
film
directed
by
Music
arranger
Ravi
Verma
will
have
Vedhika
as
the
heroine.
He
also
made
a
Telugu
film
Andamaina
Manasulu
which
was
directed
by
RP
Patnayak.
The
newcomers
who
will
be
working
in
Josh
include
Rakesh,
Amit,
Vishnuprasanna,
Akshay,
Alok
and
Jagannath.
All
these
young
boys
were
introduced
to
the
media
by
the
film's
director
Shivamani.
Robo
Ganesh,
Mandya
Ramesh,
Karibasavaiah,
Mandip
Rai,
Srinivasa
Prabhu,
Thulasi
Shivamani,
Sudha
Belawadi
are
the
other
artists
in
the
film.
All
the
six
boys
were
selected
after
an
elaborate
talent
hunt
that
took
neary
eight
months
time'
says
SV
Babu.
He
says
over
12000
applicants
were
scrutinized
and
forty
people
were
zeroed
from
these
applications.
Later
the
boys
were
selected
after
putting
them
to
a
thorough
testing
schedule.
And
the
training
started
immediately
there
after,
says
Shivamani.
The
camera
work
of
this
film
will
be
handled
by
Santhosh
Kumar
Pathaje
who
had
earlier
directed
the
film
Savi
Savi
Nenapu
for
Babu.
A
new
music
director
Vardhan
who
is
also
related
to
legendary
music
director
T.G.Lingappa
will
handle
the
music
department
of
this
film.
Babu
said
that
the
title
of
the
film
has
been
changed
as
Josh
and
the
film's
earlier
title
as
Jolly
Hudugru
has
been
dropped.
That
is
because
we
have
changed
the
story
of
the
film
now.
"Shivamani
sir
has
written
the
story
of
the
film
now
and
we
did
not
think
Kulashekhar's
story
which
was
selected
earlier
fitted
the
bill
of
our
expectations
about
the
film'
said
Babu.
The
muhurut
for
this
film
will
take
place
on
20th
of
this
month
and
in
two
schedules
at
Bangalore
and
Kerala
the
shooting
will
be
completed
says
Shivamani.
