The first schedule of Pogaru, directed by Nanda Kishore, which went on floors in March, has been completed. In this schedule, the team shot the school portions, for which Dhruva Sarja had lost 30 kilos.

The makers will now begin their second schedule from May 20. The break between the two schedules was necessary in order to give Dhruva time to get back to his normal physique. The actor, who took a break for his brother Chiranjeevi Sarja’s wedding, has also worked on his fitness.  

Meanwhile, the director is still deciding between Bengaluru and Mangaluru for the shoot locations. It will be decided as soon as possible, after which the female lead will also be finalised.

Pogaru, produced by BK Gangadhar, has Ravi Shankar as part fo its cast, with music by Arjun Janya and cinematography by Vaidhi.
