Rakshit Shetty goes in for a look test for Avane Srimannarayana

If you have been wondering when Rakshit Shetty’s  next project, Avane Srimannarayana, will take off, we have some good news for you. According to the latest development, the film’s launch is now fixed for March 15, and the shooting will start from March 20.

To begin with, they will start filming in the forest area of Bengaluru Palace and will later be shifting to Kanteerva Studio where a huge set has been constructed. Sources reveal that the portions to be shot inside the forest will be a costly affair as the producer is being charged one lakh per day.

The makers have meanwhile planned a look test with the actor, which will take place tomorrow. His look will be revealed on the day of the launch. 

Along with Rakshit Shetty, Shanvi Srivastava, Achyuth Kumar and Balaji Manohar, the latest to join the cast is Telugu actor Madhusudhan Rao. He plays a don and the film opens with him. While the aforementioned play the major characters, Avane Srimannarayana's cast also consists of at least 25 other artistes, who will all be familiar faces. A handful of them will be those who have worked in Kirik Party and in Humble Politician Nograj. Interestingly, the film will also have 100 junior artistes who will be seen throughout the film. 

The film, made with a huge budget and an ensemble cast, is the joint venture of Rakshit Shetty, Pushkar Mallikarjunaiah and KH Prakash, who're all coming together as producers. Avane Srimannarayana will have music by Ajaneesh Loknath and Charan Raj, and cinematography by Karm Chawla.
