The Kannada remake of Jigarthanda that is as-yet-untitled has its cast in place. Lead actor Rahul, who essays the role originally played by Siddharth, says, “P Ravi Shankar will play the antagonist’s role. Bobby Simhaa played that in the original, which recently fetched him a Filmfare Award too. Samyukta Hornad will be seen as the heroine, playing the character originally essayed by
Lakshmi Menon.
We also have Chikanna and
Sadhu Kokila in important roles.” The film, being made by
Sudeep, will have
Arjun Janya composing the music, with a special track for the antagonist that will match up to Ding Dong, the chart-topping number from the original film featuring Bobby Simhaa. Rahul adds that the first schedule of the film is nearly complete.
