Exploring new locations for a film is both interesting and challenging. For Darshan’s upcoming film, directed by Tharun Sudhir, the makers have chosen a new spot in Uttar Pradesh. The director, along with cinematographer Sudhakar S Raj, did a recce over the last week in the state. During their extensive travels, they zeroed in on a couple of locations. The reason the makers have chosen this particular locale will only be known once the director reveals the plot details.

The film produced by Umapathy Srinivas is tentatively called D53. However, the final title will be launched during Christmas, post which the film will go on floors around Sankranti.

Meanwhile, Darshan will complete the pending song shoot for Yajamana, a film helmed by V Harikrishna, and will soon join the sets of Odeya, directed by MD Shridhar. The actor, who is awaiting the release of Muniratna Kurukshetra, will then prepare for Gandugali Madakari Nayaka, made under Rockline Venkatesh’s banner and directed by Rajendra Singh Babu. The latter is slated to go on floors sometime early next year.
