- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,May 20 2008]
The highly expected film in the career of senior actor of Kannada cinema dynamic star Devaraj 'Prachanda Ravana' directed by youngster Srinivasaprasad is ready to hit the screen this Friday 23 all over Karnataka with 35 prints.
Devaraj is anxious about the results. He is shivering like a new hero as this film is very special in his career. He had the theatre background but mythological film is his first attempt. From the SMS poll done by 'New Wave' production team actor Devaraj has been picked to play the title role in 'Prachanda Ravana'.
The reason why this top actor of Kannada cinema Devaraj is finding it very special because the film is based on the 50 years old theatre play of the same title written by stalwart writer of Kannada cinema and theatre Kanagal Prabhakara Sastry. This stage play is very popular in Karnataka because actor late Vajramuni performed it in a chilling style.
Now Devaraj calculation is obvious. He is feeling as if he had written LKG exams. The comparison made by people from rural side especially is keeping his fingers crossed. The old Kannada style is tongue twisting and Devaraj has taken six days to dub for this film.
From last one and half years Srinivasaprasad and Giri are making this movie and expecting the breakthrough. Kanagal Prabhakara Sastry's son Kanagal Purushottam has given tips to the youngsters to make the film successfully. For the yesteryears theatre songs scored by Vajrappa it is Mysore Gopi the longtime associate with Hamsalekha retuned the songs to suit the present genre.
Bharat Bagavathar plays Hanuman while television actress Rajeswari is in the role of Seethe. Nitin is in Lord Sri Rama's role.
