Brahmarakshasa will bring together director Lohith H and producer Pushkar Mallikarjunaiah. The director, who made his debut with Mummy Save Me, followed it with Devaki, both starring Priyanka Upendra. This will be his third venture.

Lohith, who has dabbled in supernatural horror and crime thriller genres, has yet again chosen a horror subject. An announcement to this effect was made by the producers on the director’s birthday on August 4.

The producer took to Twitter, and said, "Let’s take the film on floor this September. Brahmarakshasa - I am sure this is going to be one of the best horror movies in recent times."

Brahmarakshasa will be the first full-fledged horror movie from Pushkar Films, which has previously backed films like Godhi Banna Sadharana Mykattu, Kirik Party, Avane Srimannarayana, and the upcoming Avatar Purusha and 777 Charlie.

Lohith, who is ready with the script, says he is planning to explore an untold aspect in Brahmarakshasa. The entire film will be shot in Bengaluru, and the team has finalised the locations. The makers are now in the process of zeroing in on the lead actors and the rest of the cast.
