The MadhaGaja team is ecstatic with the response received by the first-look teaser of the Sriimurali-starrer, which was unveiled by director Prashanth Neel recently. It crossed 3.5 million views within three days of its release.

Sriimurali took to social media to thank his fans for the love and affection they have shown towards him. Director Mahesh Kumar, who previously helmed Ayogya, is thrilled about the response too.

Umapathy S Gowda, the producer of Hebbuli, and the yet-to-be-released Roberrt, is bankrolling MadhaGaja under the banner of Umapathy Films.

MadhaGaja features an ensemble cast, including Ashika Ranganath opposite Sriimurali, and Jagapathi Babu as the antagonist. The film’s music is by Ravi Basrur and cinematography is by Naveen Kumar. It will also feature Tamil actor Devayani, who is back on the silver screen after a hiatus.

The makers, who have completed 70 per cent of the shooting, plan to complete the entire filming by the end of January.

Post this, Sriimurali will begin shooting for Bhageera, a project directed by Dr Suri. The film’s script has been written by Prashanth Neel, and it will be produced by Hombale Films. He will also be collaborating with producer Ramesh Reddy on another project.
