Karthik Saragur’s upcoming directorial Bheema Sena Nala Maharaja was launched on Varamahalakshmi festival, today. The project, with a unique title, is being produced jointly by Pushkara Mallikarjunaiah, Hemanth M Rao and Rakshit Shetty.

The highlight of this project, we hear, is the pre-production work that has gone into making sure the artistes get into the spirit of their roles before the shoot begins this month.

Since the film revolves around cooking, Arvinnd Iyer who plays the hero has been sent to the kitchen for training. We hear, from the production house, that the actor has been at it for the last two-and-a-half months, during which he has been given lessons in handling utensils and the basics of cooking, including cutting vegetables. He has even learnt to cook few dishes. All the classes were provided in the comfort of his house.

The film also features Priyanka, Vijay Chendoor, Achyuth Kumar and Adhya. It has music by Charan Raj and cinematography by Ravindranath.
