Yogaraj Bhat confirms that he will work with Sudeep for a project, to be produced by MN Kumar, and that he is currently working on its script. So, what would be the subject? “It will be tailormade for the actor’s image,” he replies.

“Sudeep is a fine artiste with an international appeal, who has knowledge of contemporary performance. I have shared a few scripts of mine with him, but I believe that my best script is yet to be written, and it will be perfect for the versatile star. Going by his directorials such as Autograph, Shanti Nivasa and Swathi Muthu, he seems to have a classical bent. So I would want to stay as close as possible to that, adding more dimensions to it,” says Bhatru, adding, “I am excited to work on a script for Sudeep, and it is now being written. Meanwhile, I need to sit with the actor for another round of discussions, which will be done once he is back from his shoot.”
