Shuddhi director, Adarsh Eshwarappa, who is getting ready with his second film, Bhinna, has taken time out to make a short film.

Titled The Warriors, the 16-minute film is based on a building collapse in Dharwad. In parallel is a heated debate between four friends in a coffee shop in Bengaluru. How these two are related forms the plot.

For the cast, the director chose students from Tent Cinema, which is backed by Nagathihalli Chandrashekar. The team rehearsed for about two weeks before the actual shoot. The filmmaker also got the best technicians — DOP Gokul Pillai, sound designer Nithin Lukose — on board.

The Warriors, produced by CS Shobaha, has music by Schuchit SM Rajhagopal. Shot in sync sound, the short film will be doing the rounds at festivals soon.
