Shashikumar, the agriculturist who won Bigg Boss Kannada Season 6, will be making his acting debut with the movie, Mehabooba. The film, which marks the directorial debut of Anup Antony, is said to be a romantic love story. Mehabooba will be produced by Prasanna Sreenivas of Neer Dose fame, under his Skandda Entertainment banner. 

The film will star Pavana as the female lead. She came into the limelight with Gombegala Love, and will now be sharing screen space with Jai Jagadish, Kalyani Raju, and Salman Ahamed in Mehabooba.

The team plans to start the shooting on December 11, just after the film’s formal launch ceremony. Mathews Manu, who earlier composed the music for Katha Vichitrah, is coming on board for this project.

KM Prakash will be in charge of the editing, while Kiran Hampapur, who has previously worked in films like Jatta, Madamakki, Beautiful Manasugali, and Advaitha, will be the cinematographer for Mehabooba.
