Many actors, especially the leading lady imports, have proved that a working knowledge of Kannada is not important to play a role in a Kannada film. But what if the requirement itself is that you should not know Kannada? Such a strange demand was made by the makers of the new film Escape.
And they have managed to find actors who do not know Kannada because the 'script demanded it.' One of them is the leading lady
Pragya.
Pragya is a model from Jharkhand and this is her first film in Kannada. The leading man is Deepam Kohli. Escape is a suspense thriller that is being made by a bunch of youngsters. Cinematographer
Darshan Kanaka has turned producer with this film and another Darshan (who has completed a film course in Oune Film Institute) is the director. Director Darshan said that the main requirement was a cast that did not know Kannada. The film is said to be inspired by a Korean movie.
The technical crew of Escape include Sai Kiran as the music composer, and Manju as choreographer. Producer Darshan has worked in films like Simplaag Innondu Love Story and Kolara.
