Gadda Viji's next film has a hatke title

Director Gadda Viji has started work on his new film. Following the trend of naming movies with symbols or single alphabets that was made famous by Upendra, Viji has named the film +.Yes, the title is the symbol representing plus. A popular star is the protagonist, but to create some curiosity, his name will not be revealed until the first schedule of shooting.“We have completely changed the looks of this actor and it would be difficult to recognise him in the new avatar. That is the reason we are not revealing his identity. He has agreed to it,“ said Viji.About the title, Viji says, “Plus means many things. The film's story also has multiple ideas that is close to these meanings. The film looks at the positive side of people who are designated mentally imbalanced. That is one meaning. The other is 'addition'. Every incident we narrate adds value to the character. My first film was about prisoners. This one is about the prisoners of the mind.“ Viji's first film Dyavre had multiple protagonists. This one, however, will have a single male lead. The film is being made under Yograj Bhat's banner with a new producer. The shooting for the film starts in September and should be wrapped up by December and the film team is aiming for a January release.It is not just the lead actor, but about the other cast too, Viji is tight-lipped.“It is routine to reveal the names of the actors and announce a movie. But we will not be doing that. Let the idea about the film go out first. We will be revealing more about the characters rather than the actors. Let not the image of any actor mask the characters,“ he says.Upendra was the trend-setter in coming up with unique titles. He has made films with titles, Om, Shh, and A.
