Ever since State Award-winning Jeerjimbe director
Karthik Saragur announced his next film, an as-yet-untitled film that stars
Aravinnd Iyer of
Kahi
and
Kirik Party
fame in the lead, there's been a lot of interest around it. Firstly, the film is being backed by
Pushkara Mallikarjunaiah of
Godhi Banna Sadharana Mykattu
fame. Next, the film revolves around food, something that we don’t see too often in Sandalwood. While Aarohi of
Drishya
fame was selected as one of the heroines, here’s news about the other one —
Priyanka of
Ganapa
and
Pataki
fame is now a part of the project.
Talking about the signing, Priyanka says, “I play a very simple girl, which is a well-written role. In fact, it was the story of the film that attracted me. It doesn’t go by the conventional linear narrative, which engages one till the end. The other reason what attracted me to the team is how it is unlike any of the other film teams I have worked in so far. They bond sitting in the midst of nature and discuss the film and its making together. The workshops too have been a lot of fun. They want to present it very naturally, be it the makeup or the clothing.”
