It
is
almost
time.
The
countdown,
which
begun
couple
of
months
ago,
is
almost
down
as
the
number
approaches
zero.
Next
week,
August
6,
the
film
will
be
launched.
While
most
of
the
roles
in
the
movie
have
been
wound
up,
rest
of
them
are
still
being
negotiated
on.
By
the
way,
we
recently
told
you
that
Hindi
actor,
Danish
Akhtar
Saifi,
has
been
finalized
for
the
role
of
Bhima
in
Challenging
Star
Darshan's
50th
movie,
Kurukshetra.
The
Hindi
actor
has
been
in
news
ever
since.
But,
how
is
it
that
a
Hindi
actor
was
shortlisted
in
a
Kannada
movie?
Well,
it
so
happens
that
'Daasa'
Darshan
was
the
one
who
actually
recommended
Danish's
name
for
the
role
of
Bhima.
So,
how
did
Darshan
know
Danish
before?
When
did
they
meet?

Darshan’s
Suggestion!
Producer
Muniratna
and
director
Naganna
were
having
a
tough
time
searching
for
an
actor
with
proper
built
who
could
execute
the
role
of
Bhima
effortlessly.
But
due
to
date
clashes,
no
actors
were
available
in
Sandalwood.
It
was
then
that
the
Challenging
Star
suggested
the
name
of
Danish
Akhtar
to
both
Muniratna
and
Naganna.
First
Met
In
Hyderabad
Danish
Akhtar,
said
in
an
interview
to
a
local
newspaper
that
he
met
Darshan
in
Hyderabad,
a
few
years
ago.
He
further
said
that
the
actor
took
notice
of
him
in
a
gym,
while
he
was
there
for
a
movie's
shooting.
They
both
apparently
worked
out
together
in
the
same
gym
for
quite
some
time.
Darshan
Knew
About
My
Role
As
Hanuman
In
Siya
Ke
Raam
Danish
also
said
that
Darshan
was
apparently
aware
about
his
role
in
the
Hindi
serial.
Coincidentally,
my
serial
was
shot
at
the
same
location
where
Darshan's
movie
was
being
shot.
Darshan
Identified
Me
The
Hindi
actor
cum
bodybuilder
also
told
that
the
moment
Darshan
referred
his
name,
the
producers
of
the
movie
approached
me
for
the
role.
As
I
knew
Darshan
and
Sandalwood
from
close
quarters,
I
accepted
the
offer
without
a
second
thought.
Waiting
Eagerly
For
The
Movie
To
Start
"I
think
Darshan
is
the
sole
cause
for
me
to
get
this
wonderful
opportunity.
I
am
eagerly
waiting
for
the
movie
to
start
as
I
am
keen
to
work
with
one
of
the
most
wonderful
people
on
this
planet"
said
Danish
Akhtar
to
the
newspaper.
The
bodybuilder
will
be
joining
the
team
for
filming
from
August
7.
