The second generation and third generation are brought together in ‘Sankranthi’ Kannada cinema by well known producer RS Gowda. The muhurut for this film was held at ‘Gowdara Mane’ on Magadi Road near Bangalore.

Gururaj is the son of actor cum politician Jaggesh. He is the second generation of actor. Gururaj well trained in acting made debut in ‘Gilli’ two years ago and got noticed as a good performer. He is now playing lead in ‘Sankranthi’. I play a naughty role and it is a perfect family sentiment film he says.

Gururaj is dreaming about directing his father Jaggesh the veteran of Kannada cinema now. It will be my fifth film but before that my father Jaggesh is directing a film in which I am playing the lead disclosed Gururaj. There is a transformation for me from my debut film adds Gururaj.

Skanda Ashwath is the third generation actor. His grandfather was unforgettable character artist Dr KS Ashwath who has acted in over 350 films who died in January 2010. Skanda Ashwath son of Shanker Ashwath also an actor has not completed his final year of B.Sc but he is recognized in the national level for swimming. He has won more than 35 awards for swimming in various competitions.

Skanda is playing the second hero in ‘Sankranthi’ film taken up for direction by Mussanje Mahesh. Sporting the latest ‘Kempegowda’ moustache (the one called Singam moustache for actor Sudeep) macho build Skanda looks perfectly set for silver screen.
