Pranitha
Subhash,
who
has
been
a
part
of
few
prestigious
projects
in
Telugu
and
Tamil
is
back
to
Kannada
film
industry
after
a
year.
As
per
the
latest
news
from
Ganginagar,
Pranitha
has
been
signed
to
play
the
lead
in
Shivanna's
next
film
Mass
Leader.
Apparently
several
top
actresses
were
considered

the
makers
have
zeroed
in
on
Pranitha.
The
film
is
directed
by
Sahana
Murthy

Shivappa.
The
duo
made
their
debut
last
year,
with

Rao
and

starrer
Rose.
Producer
Tarun
had
expressed
his
desire
to
produce
Shivanna's
movie
back
then
and
it
is
materializing
now.
The
movie
was
in
news,
an
year
ago,
even
before
the
formal
launch
for
wrong
reasons.
The
makers
had
issues
with
Kichcha
Sudeep's
Leader
team,
regarding
the
title.
The
issues
were
solved
amicably
with
the
intervention
of
Karnataka
Film
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
title
was
changed
to
Mass
Leader.
There
was
a
news
that
Amulya
was
confirmed
to
play
the
role
of
Shivanna's
sister;
there
is
no
official
confirmation
regarding
this.
Also,
Gururaj
Jaggesh
was
rumored
to
play
an
important
role
along
with
Vijay
Raghavendra.
The
cast
and
crew
of
the
movie
is
yet
to
be
confirmed
by
the
makers.
Shivanna
is
currently
in
Malaysia
shooting
for
Srikanta,
directed
by
Manju
Swaraj
of

Subramanya
fame.
The
movie
is
in
the

Manushya
directed
by
Yogi
G
Raj,
which
will
complete
its
shoot
by

Shivanna
will
start
shooting
for

Leader
once
the
other
commitments
are
cleared.
