After
Sammir
Dattani,
Mukul
Dev
and
Vivek
Oberoi,
one
more
Bollywood
actor
is
now
debuting
in
Kannada
films.
He
is
no
other
than
Aftab
Shivdasani.
Yes!
Director
Pratap
Gowda
has
made
an
official
announcement
that
he
has
roped
in
Aftab
Shivdasani
for
his
much-hyped
multi-starrer
Kannada
movie
Udyan
Express.
According
to
him,
Aftab
is
playing
a
pivotal
role.
Aftab
was
first
introduced
to
director
Pratap
Gowda
through
his
friend
Rama
Iyer,
who
is
also
playing
a
small
role
in
the
film
Udayan
Express.
He
got
impressed
and
accepted
to
play
the
role
when
the
director
approached
him
with
his
script.
Pratap
is
very
happy
to
work
with
him.
The
movie
Udyan
Express
has
been
facing
problems
one
after
another
since
its
announcement.
It
is
a
big
budget
movie
and
will
be
made
in
Kannada,
Tamil,
Telugu
and
Hindi
simultaneously.
The
movie
has
already
seen
a
big
delay
due
to
the
unavailability
of
dates
of
various
actors.
Earlier,
it
was
reported
that
the
director
was
planning
to
rope
in
actresses
like
Prachi
Desai
and
Riya
Sen.
But
he
landed
up
with
actresses
like
Garam
Masala
fame
Nargis,
Jennifer
Kotwal,
Hong
Kong-based
actress
Mishti
and
Madhurima.
Revathi
Menon
is
also
making
her
comeback
to
Kannada
through
this
film.
