December
2006
marked
the
release
of
a
Kannada
movie
that
changed
the
face
of
the
Kannada
film
industry
and
became
the
biggest
blockbuster
of
its
time.
We
are
talking
about
the
super
hit
movie
Mungaru
Male.
Starring
Golden
Star
Ganesh
and
Pooja
Gandhi,
the
movie
ran
for
more
than
a
year
in
the
theatres.
The
movie
propelled
Ganesh
to
heights
of
stardom
and
established
the
career
of
director
Yograj
Bhat
and
Pooja
Gandhi.
Ever
since
the
success
of
the
movie,
there
were
speculations
of
a
sequel
to
the
movie.
The
sequel
of
the
movie
was
confirmed
a
while
back.
On
November
24th
morning,
the
movie
was
launched
in
a
simple
ceremony.
The
launching
of
the
movie
took
place
at
the
residence
of
Director
Shashank,
who
will
be
directing
Mungaru
Male
2.
The
director
however,
clarified
that
the
movie
will
not
be
a
sequel
of
the
original
movie.
Mungaru
Male
2
will
have
a
fresh
story
and
new
cast.
Only
Ganesh
has
been
retained
from
the
first
movie.
When
inquired
further,
the
director
said
that
they
are
yet
to
decide
as
to
who
will
be
paired
with
Ganesh
in
this
movie.
Right
now
the
movie
has
moved
into
pre-production
mode
and
a
lot
of
planning
is
yet
to
be
made.
The
story
and
dialogues
for
this
movie
will
be
written
by
the
director
Shashank
himself.
He
has
previously
director
super
hit
movies
like
Moggina
Manasu
and
Krishnan
Love
Story.
The
movie
will
be
made
under
the
banner
of
E.K.
Pictures
which
had
produced
Mungaru
Male.
The
shooting
of
the
movie
will
start
in
April
2015.
The
rabbit
in
the
first
movie
had
become
very
popular
among
the
viewers.
The
rabbit
named
as
Devdas
had
symbolized
the
failed
love
of
the
lead
character.
The
director
is
yet
to
decide
if
Munagru
Male
2
will
have
the
rabbit.
It
has
almost
been
a
decade
since
the
movie
came
out.
Will
the
new
movie
have
the
same
magic
is
too
early
to
predict.
