Priyanka Upendra, Priyamani, and Chaya Singh will soon be seen in Khaimara, Gautham VP’s directorial debut in Kannada. Gautham, who has previously helmed the Tamil film, 7 Naatkal, will direct this women-centric, psychological horror-thriller. The project was officially launched on Wednesday, ahead of Priyanka Upendra’s birthday on November 12. The first look and motion poster of the film were also unveiled on the occasion.

Khaimara will mark the first production venture of V Mathiyalagan, who is also doubling as an actor. The film's script has been written by Gautham’s father P Vimal, who is the brother of director P Vasu. The crew includes Gurukiran and Vishnu Ramakrishan, who have been brought in as the music director and cinematographer, respectively.

The makers are planning to begin shooting from mid-December in a single schedule. They have zeroed in on locations in Bengaluru and Coorg. 

Apart from Khaimara, Priyanka Upendra also has Ugravatara and 1980 in the pipeline. Priyamani, on the other hand, is currently committed to Rajesh Touchriver’s next film, Cyanide.
