Parvatii Nair in Hemanth Hegde’s next

Actor-director

Hemanth Hegde

admits that he faltered with the execution of his last film,

Sa

, something that he hopes to rectify with his next. “I realized that when I act and direct, my focus tends to be on acting. As such, for my next film, I will remain behind the camera,” says Hemanth. The film, called

Hanthra

(which means

Hunter

), is a psychological

thriller

that he is launching by the end of June. To be shot predominantly in Bengaluru, the film will be a two-heroine project, one of whom will be Parvatii Nair. “The rest of the cast should be finalized in a week or so,” says the filmmaker.
