In the 99th film of hat trick hero Shivarajakumar, a trained Ram (an adult sheep) has arrived on the sets at Srirangapatna where an action scene was composed between hero Shivarajakumar and the ram near the Sri Ranganatha Swamy Temple.

The well trained Ram has come with two more for substitutes from Chennai and for six days shooting of the Ram and its trainers cost Rs.1 lakh for Kanakapura Srinivas the producer of ‘Mylari’.

The ram has special significance in Kannada cinema. The ram that was used in Dr Rajakumar, Arathi starring film ‘Bangaradha Panjara’ was brought from Devar Films and the combination of Raj and ram was super hit. The ram was also named as ‘Mylari’ in Bangaradha Panjara Kannada film. Now ‘Mylari’ is the name of the film starring Shivarajakumar and Sada.

Ramming Shivarajakumar by a Ram was captured in the midst of people surrounding. Thriller Manju directed the stunt sequence and convincing the ram in the beginning was not so easy.

There is need of an elephant for the film ‘Mylari’ that has completed 75 percent of the shoot says director R Chandru. That elephant is brought from Tumkur to Srirangapatna. It is used for the blessings in the film. The Tumkur Dr Rajakumar Fans Association is bringing this elephant and a procession of the elephant with Dr Rajakumar Silver Statue on it, will be carried on. The expenses for bringing the elephant, the transportation is charged and the work of elephant is free of cost.

‘Ram’ is also one of the dimensions in the film. There are many deviations to the film and the portion of ‘ram’ is quite interesting says Shivarajakumar. A message is also passed in the film that sacrificing animal is wrong. When the situation of sacrificing ‘ram’ comes in the film, the protagonist Shivarajakumar adopts it and takes it to his home.
