Reports are that director Satya Prakash is penning a script for a new project. The film will be bankrolled by Puneeth Rajkumar under his banner PRK Productions. And for the first time, Puneeth may be starring in the film produced under his banner. So far, the Power Star has produced a few films but none of it had starred him in the lead role. With Satya Prakash still busy firming up the script, we can expect an official announcement about the project soon. This film will go on to the floors next year.
Puneeth Rajkumar is currently busy with Yuva Ratna, which is directed by Santosh Ananddram who had collaborated with Puneeth to deliver the smash hit Rajakumaraa. It is bankrolled under the banner Hombale Films. The film has Sayyesha playing the female lead and this is her first film in the Kannada film industry. S Thaman is composing music for Yuva Ratna with Venkatesh Anguraj cranking the camera. On its release, we hear that it will be sometime in early 2020 and the date is yet to be finalised.
Puneeth will be seen as a college student in Yuva Ratna. The title Yuva Ratna comes with the tagline ‘Power of Youth’ which gives an indication that it would have a political touch. The star cast also includes Prakash Raj in an important role and sources say that he may appear either as a college principal or professor. Dhananjay will be seen as the main villain in Yuva Ratna with Radhika Sarath Kumar also roped in for a pivotal role.
Santosh Ananddram and Puneeth Rajkumar, as mentioned earlier, had teamed up for Raajakumara before, which turned out to be a huge hit commercially. With the same team back together, it is enough to raise the expectation levels for Yuva Ratna. With the film almost into the post-production mode, fans await its official release date.
