Magadheera fans will like Lakshmana too

It's been two years since director R Chandru had a Kannada release and, naturally, he is excited about his film, Lakshmana, which hits theatres today. Produced by Vatsala Revanna, the film marks the debut of Anup Revanna, the son of former minister, HM Revanna. With stars like V Ravichandaran, Meghana Raj, Prabhakar of Baahubali-fame and Chikkanna, among others, as part of the cast, Chandru says that audiences have much to look forward to in this film.He tells us why the film is a must-watch this week. * There is an audience for R Chandru films, and they, like me, will be excited about my first directorial since Charminar, especially since this is an entertainer with family as the backdrop. * I am launching a newcomer, Anup Revanna, at a time when the industry and audiences are increasingly welcoming new talent. This is a good time for us to test the market and we hope that audiences will welcome Anup as well. * Ravi sir plays a police officer in the film and we have presented him in Singham style. His character, ACP Rana Dheera, will be a treat. * Lakshmana is a revenge drama and there is a lot of action in the film. * Audiences who enjoyed the action of Magadheera can expect pretty much the same scale of action in our film. Yes, we worked on a much smaller budget, compared to Magadheera, but people will not be disappointed with the stunts in Lakshmana. * Arjun Janya's music is a highlight, and the song Raave Raave is already a chartbuster, what with Anup and Meghana's energetic moves to the number. * Chikkanna plays a pivotal role in the film and his scenes, especially those with Sadhu Kokila, will have audiences in splits. * Last, but not the least, when people hear that this is a home production for HM Revanna, they might bring politics into the picture. But our film has no such connect and is pure entertainment.
