Challenging
star
Darshan
starrer
movie
Kranthiveera
Sangolli
Rayanna,
which
recently
had
a
grand
muhurtha
function
in
Bangalore,
is
now
being
shot
in
Hyderabad.
It
deals
with
the
story
of
Sangolli
Rayanna
and
the
producers
have
big
plans
for
it.
Sources
claim
that
it
is
going
to
be
a
Magadheera
of
Kannada
film
industry.
Super
hit
Telugu
movie
Magadheera
is
a
historical
movie
and
it
deals
with
story
of
reincarnation.
The
movie
was
made
with
a
whopping
budget
of
Rs.
42
crores.
The
main
highlight
was
its
graphic
work.
It
has
sound
technical
values.
Its
music
and
wonderful
picturisation
of
battle
and
other
scenes
are
superb.
Besides
creating
new
records
at
the
Box
Office,
it
is
also
successful
in
bagging
several
awards.
Setting
this
film
as
a
model,
director
Naganna
and
producer
Anand
Appugol
are
said
to
have
decided
to
make
it
big
with
the
movie
Krantiveera
Sangolli
Rayanna.
So
it
will
be
produced
with
whopping
Rs.
12
crore.
Cameraman
Ramesh
Babu
has
decided
to
use
three
high-tech
cameras
for
the
shooting.
Moreover,
Naganna
has
reportedly
planned
to
use
helicopter
to
shoot
the
fight
sequence
of
the
movie.
Darshan
is
playing
freedom
fighter
Sangolli
Rayanna,
while
Kumar
Bangarappa
appears
as
Shivappa
Nayaka
in
the
film.
Senior
talented
actress
Dr.
Jayaprada
will
essay
the
role
of
Rani
Kittur
Chennamma.
Keshavaditya
has
penned
the
story,
lyrics
and
dialogues
and
Naganna
has
jointly
written
the
screenplay
with
him
for
KSR.
Yashovardhan
will
score
the
music
for
it.
The
film
crew
has
shot
a
scene
between
Darshan
and
Jayaprada
on
the
day
of
its
muhurtha.
Currently,
it
is
being
shot
in
Hyderabad.
Soon
the
team
will
move
to
Gokak,
where
it
will
shoot
for
20
days.
However,
Magadheera
was
not
completely
a
historical
film.
It
has
dealt
with
reincarnation
story,
where
it
had
reference
to
the
present
generation.
So
this
had
helped
the
filmmakers
to
including
a
few
commercial
elements
like
love
story,
sentiments,
fights
and
few
others
to
make
it
mass.
But
Kranthiveera
Sangolli
Rayanna
is
going
to
be
completely
a
historical
flick.
Now,
the
question
is
whether
the
director
will
include
commercial
elements
to
give
it
a
mass
as
well
as
class
appeal
or
it
will
be
mere
a
documentary
or
artistic
film.

the
