The Dhruva Sarja starrer Pogaru is gearing up for the final shoot schedule. With the majority of the film’s shooting wrapped up, the makers are gearing up to shoot the climax scenes from August 19. The climax will be shot at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad and feature a high octane action sequence to be choreographed by Ganesh.
Directed by Nanda Kishore, the film features Shanvi Srivastava and Rashmika Mandanna as the female leads. While Dhananjay and veteran Telugu actor Jagapathi Babu have been roped in to play the baddies in this flick, Raghavendra Rajkumar and Mayuri will play pivotal roles.
It was earlier reported that Arjun Sarja, Dhurva’s uncle, had hopped onboard to finetune the screenplay. Apparently, Dhruva was not happy with the scripting of Pogaru, so he sought his maternal uncle Arjun’s help. Reports say that Arjun worked on the script and made some major changes which the team accepted without any hesitation. According to sources in the know, the Pogaru team had a couple of scripts handy but it was Arjun’s version that met with unanimous approval.
The technical crew of the film includes Arjun Janya for music and Vijay Milton for cinematography. Pogaru is bankrolled by BK Gangadhar under his banner.
It may be noted here that the first schedule was completed successfully last year and the team went on a long break. While rumours said that the producers were not happy with the script and it needed some finetuning, 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 to 30 kg to play a school boy, for scenes shot in the first schedule, and took time to regain the lost weight. The star had said that it is not easy to shed and gain weight in a jiffy, and that he had to put in a lot of time and effort for it.
