Shiva and Vishnu inspire Raj B Shetty’s next film

Amid the coronavirus shutdown, actor-filmmaker Raj B Shetty is keeping himself busy with the post-production work for his upcoming film, Garuda Gamana Vrishabha Vahana. The gangster-drama features actor-filmmaker Rishab Shetty and Raj in lead roles. “As the title suggests, the film alludes to Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva. This narrative traces the journey of two people, who get into rowdyism by mistake, but use it for power play and dominance eventually,” says Raj, adding, “Inspired by Lord Vishnu, one of the lead characters is a calm and calculated person, who knows how to handle every situation.The other person is a far more impulsive character, who has no control over his actions. He is inspired by Lord Shiva.”
Currently, Raj is working on the music for the movie with composer Midhun Mukundan. “Set in Mangaluru, those familiar with the region’s underworld scene will be able to relate to it. Having said that, the film is not based on a real-life story,” explains the filmmaker-actor.
Actor Gopalkrishna Deshpande plays a pivotal role in the movie, which also features actors like Prakash Thumminad, of the Ondu Motteya Kathe fame, as well as a bunch of newcomers. The first look of the protagonists of the film is likely to be revealed shortly.
