After shelving the project ‘Lagori’, the top director of Kannada cinema Yogaraj Bhat is directing super power star Puneeth Rajakumar’s next. Puneeth Rajakumar is taking up the remake of ‘Naadodigal’ for his home banner after ‘Jackie’ and he will be ready for Yogaraj Bhat’s film once the script and screenplay version is ready.

Sitting comfortable with collection of almost Rs.3 crores next from two weeks of ‘Pancharangi’, director Yogaraj Bhat has decided to target the youths and family with such a high power to his side, we’re talking about Puneeth Rajakumar!

”Earlier I made a beginning to the script work for ‘Lagori’ starring Puneeth Rajakumar but it did not go according to my calculations. I left it in the middle and did not touch that subject”, says Bhat.

On the superb collection of his maiden production ‘Pancharangi’ that is bit slow only in Mangalore area, due to rains Yogaraj Bhat says the collections are two and half times more of his earlier film ‘Manasaare’. “I don’t know where it would stand at the 50th and 100th day”, says Yogaraj Bhat.

The repeat audience for ‘Pancharangi’ is something noteworthy to talk about. “Even in Hindi film less than 27 age is kept in mind. What I have noticed is that the ‘Mungaru Male’ audiences are less but those who were at the 14 to 15 years of age when ‘Mungaru Male’ was released form the crowd I am seeing today for ‘Pancharangi’”, he says.
