Dhanya Ramkumar to debut opposite Suraj Gowda

We’d previously told you about how Dhanya Ramkumar, granddaughter of late thespian Dr Rajkumar and daughter of Ramkumar, was gearing up for her film debut. Here’s the lowdown on her debut film. She has signed an as-yet-untitled film, which is a

romantic comedy

opposite Suraj Gowda. The film will be directed by debutant filmmaker Suman Jadugar, who has previously been a part of films such as

Siliconn City

and Uthama Villain among others.
“It was the story that clinched it for me,” says Dhanya, adding, “When I heard the narration, I could picturise myself doing that role. Even my mother, whose words I consider most sacrosanct, could see me in the role. Apart from this, the team was a lot more passionate and driven compared to the others I have met, which led me to say yes to the film.”
For Suraj, turning storywriter was an organic move. “I have always enjoyed the creative process and have tried learning about every process of filmmaking. Writing was on my mind always and this happened when I tried telling the concept to a few friends and they liked what they heard. This was when I began developing the story,” he says. Apart from Suman on the director’s seat, the film will have Raghu Dixit composing music.
