Rakshit Shetty has decided to take shoot in parallel for his next two projects -- Sachin’s Avane Srimannarayana and Kiranraj’s debut directorial Charlie. The actor, who will soon be completing a major schedule of Avane Srimannarayana, currently going on at Vijayapura, is all geared up to kickstart the shoot of Charlie from June 8. Before this, the makers plan to have a simple launch event on Rakshit Shetty’s birthday on June 6.

“There is a huge set planned for Avane Srimannarayana, which needs some time to be constructed. In the meantime, Rakshit plans to shoot a major portion for Charlie, which  is scheduled to start in Mysuru, and continue over a 22-day stretch ending in the first week of July,” says Pushkar Mallaikarjunaiah, who is producing the film along with Rakshit Shetty’s Paramvah Studios. 

“The small Labrador--one of three--who is playing a major role, is growing up. So we thought we should start shooting with the little one,” he adds. 

There are also plans to release the actor's first looks in both Avane Srimannarayaana and Charlie on his birthday.
