Sakkare to hit theaters next month

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.
