MANGALURU: The land that doled out world-class talent like
Aishwarya Rai is all set to create more starlets.
The city is now beckoning more Kudla girls to showcase their talent in Sandalwood. While Meghana Soans already has a Tulu film Barke under her belt, Anusha Hegde, an upcoming software engineer is paired with Meghana and Rathan Kottari as the lead in an upcoming Kannada film NH 37, produced under the banner of Asif Films.
NH 37 is the maiden Kannada film for both Meghana and Anusha.
Described as an out-and-out commercial movie and a wholesome family entertainer, NH 37's director Harshavardhan remarked that it will provide the launch pad these talented actors need. The film revolves around these newcomers and has been shot extensively in locations in Dakshina Kannada district. "The NH 37 team has honestly tried to bring out a family entertainer with local actors and mix of thrill, horror, and even comedy," he said. Thankful to the support extended by her boss V Ravichandran, CEO of Diya Systems, Anusha opined that acting is tougher when compared to a regular job. "Here, we are carrying the hopes and aspirations of an entire team that has invested its faith in us." Featuring six actors in the lead, including Meghana and Anusha, NH 37 also features Vikram Krishnan, Devaraj, and Pradeep, carrying fortunes of the film with Rathan.
With post-production work presently on, Harshavardhan is looking at an early January release. The first offering of the banner to Sandalwood, Harshavardhan said the film revolves around what happens when one inadvertently deals with a stolen car and how it affects their lives.
