Aravinnd Iyer to star in a Kannada web series

Aravinnd Iyer, who is making his silver screen debut with Bheema Sena Nala Maharaja, will next be trying his hand at web series. Titled Hate You Romeo, the series produced by Shivarajkumar’s daughter Niveditha, is made under Shree Mutthu Cine Services, in association with Sakkath studio headed by Pradeep. Directors of the Loose Connection--Esham Khan and Haseen Khan--are writing and directing the project.

Given that actors like Saif Ali Khan, Madhavan in Hindi and Jagapathi Babu in Telugu have been part of web series, Aravinnd, who is a huge fan of international web series, is happy to try his hands at one in Kannada. “This medium helps reach more people, and is as challenging as any big screen project,” he says.

This seven-episode series of 30 minutes each, will mostly be shot in Vietnam, while some scenes will be filmed in Bengaluru. The team will be heading to Vietnam in mid-August before which the production house will reveal the heroine. We hear that she is a Kannada girl, who is known nationally.
