Media Release

Mangaluru, Mar 1: We have noticed several films on the life of gangsters in pretty much all the Indian languages and notable amongst them were Ram Gopal Varma’s Company, Satya, Sarkaar to name a few. Coming to Kannada cinema, there have been films made on local dons and international goons as well. Inspired by local dons, director Prashanth Chandrashekar is ready with his new Kannada short film titled RUDRA. Prashanth has worked as an associate director for Prashant Neel in the KGF team. And this may be the main inspiration to make a rustic film.

The title Rudra is the name of a character played by one of the dons. Now Rudra is a secret that will be revealed only when the film is released. The film stars Naveendra, Shekar, Hemanth, Viraat, Bheeshma, Avin, Mallikarjunm, Ravi and in a very important surprising role our Mangalorean Sandeep Malani playing a veteran local goon.

Speaking about his role Malani said: 'This is one of a different character I have played so far. I have played negative roles, Don, villain. But this being a veteran local goon with mannerisms and attitude is something that would be made up to notice. Besides I am also looking forward to the pan India film Kabzaa with Upendra that has me playing an Don once again but that being a stylish one'

The film has cinematography by Kumar Gowda and music composed by Roopesh.
