Agni, an actor who has also worked in serials, has now turned director with a film titled Journey. The project was recently launched with a muhurat function. 

According to the first-timer, he is helming a story about five friends, and promises it to be a complete entertainment package. "It is going to be a vibrant entertainer, blending comedy and emotions. The narrative has shaped up wonderfully, and we are planning to film in places like Hassan and Bengaluru," says Agni, whose film will be headlined by newcomer Dini.

Journey will be produced by Hariprasad Naayak, with Shashank Sheshagiri composing the music. The makers, who are planning to begin shooting in early December, will reveal the rest of the cast and technicians closer to the film going on floors.
