Dhananjay, who was last seen in Bhariava Geetha, is close to finishing the shoot for his portions in the upcoming film, Totapuri. Directed by Vijayaprasad, the film has Jaggesh and Dhananjay playing the lead, and it also stars Aditi Prabhudeva and Suman Ranganath.

The Tagaru actor, who will be seen sporting three different looks in the film, says, “I am left with just three more days of the shoot. We will be shooting the remaining portions in Kerala once I have my bearded look.”

About the film, he adds, “Through Totapuri, director Vijayaprasad is doing something unique. He’s blending entertainment with a philosophical message. He is the reason I choose to work in this film.” 

On working with Suman Ranganath, who has been paired opposite him, he says, “She is a wonderful artiste with a beautiful soul.  Her consistency is the reason behind her success over the years.”

Dhananjay will resume shooting for his other project, Suri Popcorn Monkey Tiger, from January 28.
