Director Pavan Wadeyar’s current focus is on Raymo, which stars Ishan in the lead role. The director says he sees a promising actor in him. “With the new pair Ishan and Ashika Ranganath, the romantic drama is sure to create magic on screen,” says Pavan. 

Sharing some latest stills with CE, he adds, “We have completed 50 per cent of the talkie portions, montage scenes, and a song with Ashika which was shot at one stretch.” The film has been shot in parts of Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Sirsi, and Yellapura. “We will resume the second schedule on November 6 in Bengaluru,” the director says.

The team will then be heading to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and South Africa. “We have done the recce, and only the shooting spot in South Africa needs to be finalised,” reveals Pavan, who has brought onboard music composer Arjun Janya. The film’s audio rights have been bagged by Anand Audio for a big amount. Raymo, produced by C R Manohar, has S Vaidy cranking the camera.
