The
makers
of
Darshan
starrer
Roberrt
recently
surprised
the
film’s
heroine,
Asha
Bhat,
by
revealing
her
first
look
from
the
film
on
her
birthday.
The
model-turned-actress,
who
commenced
her
film
career
in
Bollywood
with
Junglee
alongside
Vidyut
Jammwal,
is
now
making
her
Kannada
film
debut
with
Roberrt.
The
actress
has
been
paired
opposite
in
the
Challenging
Star
and
will
play
a
foreign
returned
girl
who
initially
sees
a
clash
of
cultures.
Asha
is
currently
based
in
Mumbai
and
is
happy
to
have
received
the
surprise
gift
from
the
Roberrt
team.
She
recalled
that
the
shoot
began
on
her
birthday
last
year
and
was
quoted
by
the
New
Indian
Express
as
saying,
“It’s
been
one
year,
and
the
momentum
has
been
going
strong.
Though
I
am
still
a
nobody
in
the
Kannada
cinema
industry,
I
am
so
thrilled
to
see
the
kind
of
buzz
this
film
has
been
creating,
especially
among
Darshan
fans.
I
am
really
glad
that
I
am
associated
with
such
a
good
team.
Roberrt
is
a
film
to
look
forward
to
post
the
COVID
pandemic.”
Besides
Darshan
and
Asha
in
the
lead
roles,
the
highly
anticipated
Sandalwood
biggie
produced
by
Umapathy
Films,
also
stars
Jagapathi
Babu,
Vinod
Prabhakar,
Sonal
Monteiro,
Ravi
Kishan,
Chikkanna
and
Shivaraj
K
R
Pete
in
pivotal
roles.
On
being
quizzed
about
her
other
upcoming
projects,
the
actress
said,
“I
heard
that
shooting
of
Kannada
films
has
resumed
in
full
scale,
but
the
Mumbai
film
industry
is
yet
to
roll
out
such
plans.
A
lot
of
scriptwriters
and
directors
have
used
this
time
to
write
stories,
and
I
got
to
reading
a
handful
of
good
subjects,
but
nothing
is
finalised.”
