It’s been a while since we saw Chetan on screen. The actor, who is also a social worker, was last seen in Athiratha in 2017. He had completed shooting for Ranam, and kept himself busy with his social works. He has now signed his next film Maarga, an action thriller. 

The film’s launch took place on Friday, with Puneeth Rajkumar attending the launch and sounding the clapboard. Maarga marks the directorial debut of Mohan. 

 “Maarga has the hero taking a particular path for his destination, whether this path is right or wrong, is the outline of Maarga,” says the director, who has also written the story and the screenplay for the film. Mohan also points that that Maarga is nowhere related to Chetan’s real-life characteristics, and it is a total entertainer with a mix of commercial elements and a social message.

 The film will feature two heroines — Reeshma Nanaiah, who is making her debut with Prem’s Ek Love Ya and Dia-fame Kushi. Maarga will have Ajaneesh B Loknath composing the music and SK Rao handling the cinematography. “We are getting ready, and hope to start shooting from September second week, but everything depends on the number of Covid cases,” says the debutant director.
