Dhananjay
who
is
all
set
to
star
in
the
biopic
of
Bengaluru’s
First
Underworld
Don
MP
Jayaraj
has
utilized
the
lockdown
period
and
thereafter
to
prep
for
the
role.
The
team
has
also
been
working
on
the
script
and
the
pre-production
work
for
the
past
couple
of
months
with
Agni
Shridhar
penning
the
story
and
dialogues.
However,
the
yet-untitled
project
produced
by
Ashu
Bedra
will
soon
be
getting
its
title
on
Independence
Day.
It
will
be
revealed
by
none
other
than
Puneeth
Rajkumar
on
15
August
morning.
It
must
be
recollected
that
Puneeth
and
Dhananjay
will
soon
be
seen
together
in
the
Sandalwood
biggie
Yuvarathnaa.
Dhananjay
also
recently
revealed
more
details
about
the
aforementioned
biopic
to
Bangalore
Times.
He
said,
"The
movie
is
set
between
1974
to
1977
and
shows
the
reign
of
Jayaraj
during
that
period.
We
are
making
it
a
two-part
film
because
we
wish
to
capture
the
journey
of
the
character
as
effectively
as
possible."
Speaking
about
the
underworld
theme
and
genre,
the
actor
added,
"World
over,
this
is
a
theme
that
has
captured
the
fancy
of
many.
Al
Pacino,
Robert
De
Niro
have
done
such
roles
too.
Coming
back
to
the
film,
I
love
the
way
Agni
sir
has
penned
the
script
and
have
read
many
of
his
works.
The
experiences
he
brings
to
the
table,
for
this
project,
will
lend
more
gravitas
to
the
subject.
I
feel
proud
that
I
have
gotten
a
challenging
film
like
this."
