Sheegrameva Kalyana Prapthirasthu shoot postponed due to spike in COVID-19 cases

As

Covid

cases continue to

spike

across Karnataka in the second wave of Coronavirus, the Sheegrameva Kalyana Prapthirasthu team has decided to postpone shooting. The news was shared recently by the film team on social media pages. The movie has Dheekshith Shetty and senior actor Ram Kumar in lead roles and is directed by Praveen Chenappa.

According to sources, much before the government-imposed restrictions on film shoots to contain the spread of Coronavirus, the team, considering the safety of

actors

and members of the technical team, has called off shooting. It is likely to resume once the covid cases are reduced. The shoot of the movie was extensively held in Mysuru and Bengaluru. The team had also launched auditions to rope in young actors for various roles in the movie.

In an earlier interview with

Bangalore Times

, Dheekshith Shetty had said, “This is one of my four avatars in the film, which will showcase my character's journey from his teenage years till his mid 20s. We have finished shooting the teenage portions, which will see me in a lean avatar, for which I lost seven kgs. I also shot for this bulked up avatar, where I play someone who has lost a lot in life, including love, and ends up seeking solace in alcohol. I sport a bearded look here.”
