films as well as some international projects, is set to debut in Kannada. Last week, he began work on the as-yet-untitled project being directed by Pannaga Bharana, which has Danish Sait in the lead and is being backed by Puneeth Rajkumar. “It was Puneeth who was keen that we get our casting right for this particular role of a non-Kannada speaker. We were looking at options and that’s how Pitobash’s name sprung up. I contacted him and he was excited and on board,” says Pannaga, about how he narrowed in on Pitobash for the cast.

Throwing some light on the role that the Shor In The City fame actor plays, Pannaga says, “Pitobash plays a typical Muslim guy from Shivajinagar in the film.” The film also stars Sal Yusuf and is about the misadventures of a French tourist in Bengaluru.
