Aditi Prabhudeva is an actor who doesn’t like being typecast, and looks to play different characters. Now, she is elated to have bagged the role of a college girl, which she has been longing to play. The actor, who is waiting to resume shooting for Vijaya Prasad’s Totapuri and MG Srinivas’s Old Monk, among other films, has given the green signal to this upcoming project, titled Gajaanana and Gang.

An official announcement will be made by the team on Thursday. The first look poster, which is in the form of a caricature, will also be revealed on the occasion.

This will be the next project of director Abhishek Shetty of Nam Gani BCom Pass fame. He is once again joining hands with producer Nagesh Kumar US for this film.

Gajaanana and Gang will have Aditi paired opposite Iruvudellava Bittu actor Shri Mahadev. It is a love story of middle-class college students, set between 2014-2021.

With the lead cast in place, the makers have also finalised the technical crew — music director Praddyottan, cinematographer Uday Leela, and editor Vijeth Chandra are all on board. The makers hope to begin shooting in October.
