Director AP Arjun is all set to double up as producer of the much-hyped film, KISS. The exchange of hands took place after a mutual decision between Arjun and former producer Ravi Kumar of Rashtrakuta Pictures.

The film that marks the debut of Viraat and Sreeleela will be the director's maiden production under his banner AP Arjun Films. An official announcement will be made soon.

The film, which features Aporva Gowda in a special appearance, has taken longer than anticipated to be completed, and will soon be submitted for censoring. It is likely to be ready for release either in the end of June or by the first week of July. With music by V Harikrishna, KISS has cinematography by AJ Shetty.
