Journalist-turned-filmmaker Yathiraj has completed shooting for his next, titled Sanju. Apart from directing, the filmmaker will be seen in multiple other roles, including story, and dialogue writing, and will also play a pivotal character.

The makers recently launched the music album in the presence of directors Yograj Bhat, Guruprasad, Guru Deshpande, producer Umesh Bankar, and President of KFCC NM Suresh. Composed by Vijay Harsita, the album has two songs crooned by Vasuki Vaibhav, Aishwarya Rangarajan and Naveen Sajju.

With the tagline 'Agamya Payaniga', Sanju stars Manveeth and Sathvika in lead roles. Set in a bus station, the film revolves around the protagonist, a common man, who navigates through life's highs and lows. Yathiraj further elaborates, "The theme explores the impact of impulsive decisions on our lives, set against the backdrop of Madikeri."

The film will feature cinematography by Vidya Nagesh, choreography by Madan-Harini and action by Thriller Manju.  Sanju, bankrolled by Santhosh DM, is scheduled for an April release.
