The shooting of Dheeren Rajkumar's debut, Daari Tappida Maga, directed by Anil Kumar has been wrapped up. The film, which is now in the post-production stage, is likely to see an October release. Meanwhile, the director has planned his next project, and is looking to experiment by casting senior actors for the film.

Titled Kaaneyadavara Bagge Prakatane (Missing People), it will feature Rangayana Raghu, Ravi Shankar and Tabla Nani in the lead roles, who will all play characters aged over 65 years. The makers are also adding Chikkanna to the start cast. “Generally, our films cater to the youth, and we call them family-oriented. However, through this film, I want to entertain all kinds of audience - from kids to old people. The subject will be about human values, with a blend of comedy and a little bit of suspense,” says Anil Kumar, who will start shooting from August 6.

The first schedule is planned to be canned over 20 days in Bangkok and Pattaya. “The film will travel from the ‘50s to the current period,” Anil Kumar adds. The movie is produced by Naveen Kumar. While Arjun Janya has been signed up to score the music, KM Prakash will be the editor. Shivakumar BK, who has worked as the cinematographer in Daari Tappida Maga, will also be coming on board.
