News

By Santhosh Kumar
Just
when
we
thought
that
there
are
a
number
of
multistarrers
in
different
stages
of
production,
we
have
yet
another
one
titled
Thackeray,
which
is
in
the
pre-production
stage
now.
Crazy
Star
V
Ravichandran
and
Dynamic
Prince
Prajwal
Devaraj
will
be
playing
the
lead
roles
in
this
film,
that
is
to
be
directed
by
Guru
Deshpande
of
Raja
Huli
fame.
This
is
the
first
time,
the
two
stars
are
coming
together.
The
project
will
be
bankrolled
by
MN
Kumar
under
MNK
Movies.
Jayashree
Devi
will
be
presenting
the
film
for
which
Vasu
will
be
working
as
the
executive
producer.
Same
producers
are
behind
yet
another
multistarrer,
Mukunda
Murari,
which
is
gearing
up
for
release.
As
per
director
Guru
Deshpande,
the
movie
is
not
based
on
Bal
Thackeray
or
his
sons.
This
is
a
completely
fictional
story,
however,
the
movie
will
be
made
on
the
lines
of
Hindi
movie
Sarkar.
Prajwal
confirms
the
same
and
clarifies
that
film
was
titled
as
Thackeray
because
director
found
this
name
to
be
powerful
and
also
he
thought
this
title
would
be
apt
for
his
script.
The
movie
is
based
on
mafia
in
a
particular
region.
Prajwal
will
play
the
character
that
will
have
a
grey
shade
and
apparently
this
will
be
not
a
regular
hero
role
which
we
get
to
see
in
commercial
entertainers.
Also,
he
is
undergoing
a
makeover
for
the
film.
Ravichandran,
is
playing
an
important
role
of
a
godfather
to
Prajwal
and
it
is
said
that
the
Crazy
Star
will
be
seen
playing
a
very
different
role.
We
hear
that
this
role
will
have
shades
of
Amitabh
Bachchan's
character
in
Sarkar.
The
makers
are
planning
to
start
shooting
for
the
movie
by
end
of
this
month.
Meanwhile,
Prajwal
has
finished
his
work
for
Chowka
and
Guru
Deshpande
is
readying
John
Jaani
Janardhan
for
a
release.
