Darshan will be the chief guest at the grand festive launch of Dhanveerah-starrer Bumper on the occasion of Sankranthi on January 15. The film, directed by Hari Santhosh and produced by Suprith, will go on floors in February. The team is currently in the process of finalising the cast and crew. 

Team Bumper has roped in Ajaneesh B Lokanath as the music composer. This is the first time Hari Santhosh is working with the composer, who recently delivered a blockbuster album in Rakshit Shetty's Avane Srimannarayana. 

Bumper is producer Suprith's second venture after Sriimurali's Bharaate. Incidentally, this will also be hero Dhanveerah's second film after starring in last year's Bazaar, directed by Suni.
