Actor/Director
Rakshit
Shetty
will
be
directing
Sandalwood
superstar
Sudeep
in
a
new
movie.
The
promise
was
made
by
Sudeep
on
the
Bigg
Boss
Kannada
2
stage,
for
which
Sudeep
is
the
host.
Rakshit
had
expressed
that
he
would
like
to
cast
Sudeep
as
a
leader
of
a
band
of
dacoits.
Seems
like
Sudeep
and
Rakshit
are
going
to
keep
up
the
promise
made
to
each
other.
The
sources
say
that
Rakshit
will
direct
Sudeep
in
a
movie
tentatively
titled
as
Thugs
of
Malgudi.
However,
the
name
has
not
been
confirmed.
Malgudi
is
the
famous
fictional
town
created
by
celebrated
writer
R
K
Narayan.
Due
to
the
addition
of
Malgudi
in
the
name,
it
is
being
speculated
that
the
story
could
be
based
on
pre-independence
times.
It
would
be
interesting
to
know
if
the
movie
will
include
any
of
the
characters
from
R
K
Narayan's
Malgudi
Days.
Currently
both
Rakshit
and
Sudeep
are
busy
with
their
upcoming
movies.
Sudeep
is
working
with
the
Attarintiki
Daredi
remake.
He
will
next
work
in
Hebbuli
with
director
Krishna.
Rakshit
is
finishing
up
on
Yogaraj
Bhat's
Vaasthu
Prakara
and
then
will
work
with
Rishab
Shetty
in
Rikki.
It
is
expected
that
Rakshit
Shetty
may
start
the
Sudeep
starrer
movie
next
year
and
may
also
rope
in
Lucia
fame
director
Pawan
Kumar
into
making
the
movie.
