Stunt choreographer-turned-director Ravi Varma completed shooting for his first feature film, Rustum, which is now in the dubbing stage. The film starring Shivarajkumar, which consists of a diverse star cast with actors from the South, also marks the debut of Bollywood hero Vivek Oberoi in Kannada cinema.

The actor, who plays a prominent role in Rustum along with Shivanna, will also be dubbing in his voice. The film is produced under Jayanna Productions and interestingly, for the first time, the makers are working on a Kannada film at Yash Raj studio. The team will be heading to Mumbai next week and will dub for the film along with Vivek and Ganesh Yadav, starting from January 20.

Apparently, Ravi Varma is attempting to have various artistes including actors Mahendran from Kollywood and Harish Uthaman from Telugu to dub their own voices.

With Shivarajkumar in the lead, the film has music by Anoop Seelin and cinematography by Mahendra Siha. Rustum has three heroines - Shraddha Srinath, who is paired opposite Shivanna, Mayuri playing his hero’s sister and Rachita Ram seen alongside Vivek Oberoi.
