After much delay, producers of Sakkare, which has Ganesh and Deepa Sanidhi in lead roles, have announced that the film will finally release next month. The romantic-drama was initially slated to hit theaters earlier this month. Jointly produced by
Shylaja Nag and B Suresh, the film also has
Anu Prabhakar and
Anant Nag, who will be seen doing a comic role after a long time, in important roles.
Gubbachchigalu director
Abhay Simha, who has so far made only art films, will be trying his hand at commercial cinema for the first time with
Sakkare. He had earlier directed Malayalam superstar
Mammootty in
Shikari.
Radhika Pandit was first approached to play the female lead, but since she was unable to allot dates, the makers zeroed in on Deepa. The music of the film, composed by V Harikrishna, has been receiving good reviews since it was released a fortnight ago. A major portion of the film has been shot in scenic locations in Madikeri.
