Nanjundi Kalyana Starts Rolling

We reported a few weeks ago that a team led by actor/director Rajendra Karanth is working on a film titled Nanjundi Kalyana. Now the team has started shooting for the film.

Tanush Shivanna of Madamakki fame is playing the lead role of Nanjunda. Shravya, who made an impressive debut with Ajai Rao's Rose, will play the female lead role.

A source from the team confirms that this film has nothing to do with yesteryear's blockbuster Nanjundi Kalyana. The makers have just taken the title and weaved a fresh story based on the concept of marriage.

The team has commenced the shooting in a house in Rajarajeshwari Nagar, Bangalore, and will continue shooting for a few more weeks. Also, a few important scenes and a couple of songs will be shot abroad.

Apart from directing the film, Rajendra Karanth, who is known for his acting capabilities will be playing an important role in the film, along with Seetha Kote.

Rajendra Karanth made his directorial debut with Ramesh Aravind and Harshika Poonacha starrer Mangana Kaiyalli Manikya, which did not do well at the box-office. This time director is leaving no stone unturned to make sure he succeeds commercially.

The film is said to be a story based on a mother's scout for the perfect bride for her son. Rajendra Karanth has penned this laugh riot and also written the dialogues for the film.

Sriram Talkies is bankrolling the film. Jagadish Wali has been roped in as the Director of Photography. Sathish Aryan will compose four songs for the film. KM Prakash will edit the film.
