Dhruva Sarja got married to his childhood friend Prerana Shankar on November 24 but we hear the young actor is not taking any time off after the wedding, but will be concentrating on completing his upcoming film Pogaru. The actor is joining the crew on Friday to dub for the film. And then, on December 5, the team intends to begin shooting the song sequences for the film. There are reportedly four songs in the film and these will be shot in quick succession.
Directed by Nanda Kishore, Pogaru has Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead. Dhananjay has been roped in to play the baddie in this flick. The technical crew of the film includes V Hari Krishna for music and Vijay Milton for cinematography. Pogaru is bankrolled by BK Gangadhar under his banner.
The first schedule of the film was completed last year and the team went in for a long break. The delay in the second schedule was due to the fact that the hero had to gain weight. He had shed close of 30 kg to play a schoolboy, which was the role he portrayed in the first schedule, and took time to regain the lost weight.
French bodybuilder Morgan Aste, popularly known as ‘The Big Rock’, American professional bodybuilder Kai Greene, international athlete John Lucas and German fitness sensation Jo Linder have been signed up for the film. An important action sequence, which will form the film’s climax, featuring Dhruva Sarja and the bodybuilders has been canned at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad.
Reports suggest that the film will be out in theatres on December 27. Another interesting detail that has emerged about Pogaru is that the film will be released in Kannada and Telugu. We hear that it will appeal to the Telugu audiences as well following which the decision was made.
