 The Kannada Film Industry is going to welcome historical films very
soon. One of them is titled Kranthiveera Sangolli Rayanna and the other
is Shivappa Nayaka. The first movie will deal with a freedom fighter in
Karnataka and the second one is about a notable ruler of the Keladi
Nayaka Kingdom in the 17th century.
Kannada film star Darshan is playing the lead role of warrior
Sangolli Rayanna. The actor turned politician Kumar Bangarappa will
essay the role of Shivappa Nayaka in the other film. He has the same,
height and complexion like Darshan.
Kranthiveera Sangolli Rayanna has been launched on the
Varamahalakshmi festival day in Belgaum and it will be directed by
director Naganna, who was planning it for the last 5 years. Dr.
Jayaprada is playing a vital role in this movie after Priyamani rejected
to play it. This historical movie will be produced by Anand Appugol.
The dialogues are penned by Keshavaditya and camera is handled by Ramesh
Babu. Yashovardhan has composed music for this historic film in
Kannada.
Director Babu Rao Athani made a movie on this freedom fighter in
1967, which was produced by Ananth Hiregowdar under Chitravani banner.
The other historical movie Keladi Shivappa Nayaka, based on the life
story of King Keladi Shivappa Nayaka, will go on floors on November 5 in
Shimoga. The film will show the king with three queens but in real
life, he was said to have five queens. The movie will be edited by
Suresh Urs and other technicians are yet to be decided.
It seems Sandalwood is going to get back to the British rule era with these two films. Hope the audience likes it!
