Kitty and Ramya in choreographer Imran’s directorial debut

When Sandalwood choreographer Imran Sardhariya announced that he’d be turning director, it was to be with a bromance starring Yash, Diganth and Prajwal Devaraj. But that film failed to take off. Imran, though, was not deterred, and has now decided to fulfill his filmmaking dreams with a project starring Srinagara Kitty and Ramya, a pair that was last seen together onscreen in the award-winning Sanju Weds Geetha.Called Endendigu, the film will start rolling in September.
Imran clarifies that Endendigu is based on a new script and has nothing to do with his earlier story. “I had another story in mind, for which I thought Kitty and Ramya would be ideal. I approached them with the script and they happily agreed to work with me. So my directorial debut will be with Endendigu,” he says.
But given that both his lead actors are currently very busy with other projects, is he confident of being able to start work soon? “I know the list of films both of them are currently working on. But they still managed to accommodate dates for my film because they were thrilled with the story,” he adds.
