The film will also mark the first on-screen collaboration between Nirup Bhandari and Aishwarya Sharma. The ensemble includes Telugu actor Harshika, Achyuth Kumar, and Abhirami, who returns in a pivotal role.
On the technical front, cinematography will be handled by Shiva Sena, while composer D Imman has been roped in to score the music.
Even as this new film gears up for production, Nirup has a packed slate ahead. He is awaiting the release of Sathya S/o Harischandra and America America 2directed by Nagathihalli Chandrashekar, which is currently in post-production. He has also nearly wrapped up work on Atikaya, directed by Nagaraj Peenya, set against a backdrop of rowdyism.
“I liked the story because it shows me in a space the audience hasn’t seen before,” Nirup says about Atikaya. “The dialogues are mostly mass lines, and something people have not seen me in. Even stunt choreographers say I am good at fights, and people feel I can work well in mass films. But I didn’t want to be stereotyped, and that’s why I also avoided listening to more thriller scripts for a while. I wanted to shift genres a bit.”
The Vikrant Rona actor adds that his involvement in filmmaking often goes beyond acting. In Sathya S/o Harischandrafor instance, Nirup contributed to the screenplay and dialogues.
“The director had a strong plot. He and the producer are both new, but the story needed cinematic shaping, so I worked on the screenplay and dialogues. I was involved through the post-production as well, and I’m happy with how it has turned out,” he says.
