Stunt choreographer of the critically acclaimed Malayalam film Jallikattu, Supreme Sundar, is making his debut in the Kannada film industry. He will be working with the Shiva Rajkumar starrer Shivappa.
Supreme Sundar said that he is thrilled to work with a huge and respected star like Shiva Rajkumar. He was quoted by the Times of India as saying, that it has been a great experience for him. “I will be choreographing around six stunt sequences and each of these will be unique and new for the viewers here,” he said.
Sundar said that Shiva Rajkumar is extremely energetic and insists on doing the stunts all by himself without opting for a double. He added that both Shivanna and Dhananjaya have impressed him a lot which makes him eager to work with the team.
Two stunt sequences for Shivappa have been filmed so far and there are a few more which will be completed in the coming days.
Shivappa is directed by cinematographer-turned-director Vijay Milton. The film also has Anjali, Dhananjaya, Yasha Shivakumar, and Pruthvi Ambaar in the star cast.
