Two singles from the Kannada movie Kiss are already out and have been creating a good buzz. The songs, composed by V Hari Krishna, turned out to be chartbusters, which has upped the expectation levels for the third number.
Interestingly, it will be a song that Power Star Puneeth Rajkumar has rendered. Puneeth has several hit songs to his credit till date and therefore his fans hope that this number “Bettegowda v/s Chikaboramma” will add one more feather to his cap. The song will be out on Friday, July 26, we hear. Kiss is directed by AP Arjun and stars Viraat and Sree Laila in the lead roles.
Meanwhile, Puneeth Rajkumar is busy with his upcoming Yuva Rathna. Directed by Santosh Ananddram, the film is bankrolled by Vijay Kiragandur. Puneeth will be seen as a college student in Yuva Rathna, we hear. The title of the film comes with the tagline ‘Power of Youth’ which gives an indication that it might 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 Rathna while Radhika Sarathkumar has been roped in for a pivotal role. The film has Sayyesha playing the female lead, this being her first film in the Kannada film industry. Triveni Rao, who was seen in the recent Shiva Rajkumar starrer Tagaru, is playing an important role in this film besides Mamatha Sanathkumar, the popular woman bodybuilder from Karnataka.
The technical crew of Yuva Rathna comprises S Thaman for music, Venkatesh Anguraj for cinematography and KM Prakash for editing.
Reports indicate that the next schedule of this Puneeth Rajkumar starrer is expected to begin later this month. Yuva Rathna is likely to hit the marquee later this year but the release date is yet to be finalised.
