After making a name for himself in theatre for his innovative productions, Rajendra Karanth is now ready to don the director’s hat, this time for a film. For his debut venture the director has roped in his college mate and actor Ramesh Aravind.

It’s almost like he is waiting to get tense about everything and anything. It’s a highly performance oriented role,” he says.
The team is planning to call the film Rasagulla. “The film will throw light on the functioning of the film industry. It’s out to say how both the producer and director are equally important for a film to work. It also observes how sometimes it is necessary to ignore small issues to lead a happy life,” chips in Karanth while giving us a fair idea about the film.
As for the leading ladies, there are four of them. Harshika Poonacha, Rishika Singh, Sanatani and Madhuri have been approached to play the parts as of now. Is it also true that Tamil superstar Kamal Hassan will be playing a cameo in the film? “This is nothing but a rumour,” say both the actor and director rubbishing the claim. Rasagulla is expected to go on floors in the first week of October.
