The Kannada film Pogaru, directed by Nanda Kishore, has Dhruva Sarja in the lead role. The film features Shanvi Srivastava and Rashmika Mandanna as the female leads with Dhananjay, P Ravishankar, Sadhu Kokila, Chikkanna, and Kuri Pratap roped in for the supporting cast. The technical crew of this film includes Arjun Janya for music and Vijay Milton for cinematography. Pogaru is bankrolled by BK Gangadhar under his banner.
The first schedule of Pogaru was successfully completed last year and the team went on a long break. While rumours were that the producers were not happy with the script and it needed some fine-tuning, it was clarified later that the delay in the second schedule was due to the fact that Dhruva had to gain weight. He had shed close of 30 kilos to play a schoolboy, which was shot in the first schedule and took time to regain the lost weight. With the maximum shoot of the film wrapped up, the makers recently shot the climax scenes at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad which was a high octane action sequence choreographed by Ganesh.
The film is progressing at a slow pace due to a lot of technicalities involved but that has not deterred the director – actor duo from teaming up for another film. Sources in the know say that director Nanda Kishore impressed Dhruva Sarja with a one-liner and this will soon be developed into a script. Uday K Mehta will be bankrolling this venture.
There are also reports that cinematographer turned director Vijay Milton, who is cranking the camera for Pogaru, is ready to direct the actor. The Goli Soda director had narrated a one-liner to the star on the sets of Pogaru and will get his go-ahead once the script is ready. For an official confirmation on this, we need to wait for some more time.
