Pradeep Varma, who is awaiting the release of Brahmi, is now gearing up to start his next project. His upcoming directorial will be an indie Hindi project, titled The Fallen. The team plans to start shooting from July 7, and the entire 100-minute film will be shot in Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh.

For the lead cast, Pradeep has brought on board newcomer Sathya BG as the protagonist, and Anupama Gowda as the female lead. The film will also star Bhavani Prakash, Mayuri Nataraja and Raghava. The film, conceptualised by the Urvi director himself, is set in the future, in the year 4100, to be precise.

“The film is about a biologist’s prediction about the time when the sixth great extinction would have already occurred, and the remaining species are trying hard to survive. The story is all about these very few survivors,” the director says about the subject.

The film, made under Dhakka Productions, will have music composed by Aparajit and cinematography by Anand Sundaresha.
