Lyricist-turned-director Ram Narayan, who helmed films like Tyson and Crack, is currently shooting for Raja Marthanda. Chiranjeevi Sarja, the lead actor, has now joined the sets of this film. The actor recently finished shooting for Amma I Love You.

While Triveni, who garnered appreciation for her short and sweet role in Tagaru, is playing the second female lead in Raja Marthanda, the makers have roped Deepti Sati as the film’s heroine. Having made her mark in all south Indian languages, this model-turned-actor marked her Kannada debut with Nikhil Kumar’s Jaguar and this will be her second Kannada outing.

Ram Narayan confirmed to Cinema Express that Deepti will be on board. He also revealed that the film will have three female characters and the team will soon be finalising the third heroine before going in for a formal announcement. Meanwhile, Raja Marthanda, the shooting of which started a few days back, also features Devaraj in a key role.

Touted to be an overall entertainer, the film will feature Chiranjeevi in a never-seen-before role. The music for the film is by Arjun Janya and the cinematography is by Jabez K Ganesh.
