Prathap Narayan’s next two films to be directed by newcomers

Actor

Prathap Narayan

, who was last seen on the big screen in the movie Onthara Bannagalu in 2018, and will soon be seen in Shabari, has signed two new projects - Colour of

Tomato

and Trivedam, helmed by newcomers

Thayi Lokesh

and Arun Jayaram respectively.

An elated

Prathap

says, “Colour of Tomato is based on real incidents in

Kolar

which is why we have decided to shoot the entire movie in Kolar to keep that realistic factor intact. I play the role of a guy who is a huge fan of late actor

Tiger Prabhakar

, who works in Tomato mandis which are very popular in Kolar even today. There is a battle for supremacy in the market for the higher positions. My innocence is being used by the authorities to ensure they rule the roost in the market areas. There is also a father and son story which brings in the emotional content to the commercial drama. B Suresha is essaying my father’s role. The story and dialogues are penned by

Kotiganahalli Ramaiah

.”

In Trivendam, Prathap is portraying the role of a courier boy, “I play an atheist in the movie. There is also a cute love story which gives a different dimension to the storyline. Parallelly, there are two other stories and how the characters in three varied stories connect will be revealed only in the climax,” the actor adds.
