Puneeth Rajkumar, who wrapped up shooting for Santhosh Ananddram’s Yuvarathnaa on Monday, will immediately resume shooting for his next project, James. Puneet will join the sets of  the Chethan Kumar film on Wednesday.

We recently reported that the commercial entertainer will star Telugu actor Srikanth in a prominent role, and it has come to light now that another South Indian actor, Adithya Menon will be the next to join the cast.

Adithya, who has worked in Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu cinema, first faced the camera for a Kannada TV serial. He has also worked in films like Shivajinagara, Jaguar, Kolara and Seetharama Kalyanam. James will be his latest outing in Kannada, and it will have him playing a major character.

Another interesting artiste coming on board for James will be actor Anu Prabhakar. Having worked in 55 films, mostly starring top actors in Kannada, this will, however, be her first time working with Puneeth. Anu has recently completed shooting for Aarna Saadya’s Saaravajra, a woman-centric film which is ready for release.

James is produced by Kishore Pathikonda and has music composed by Charan Raj. Direcor Chethan Kumar has also written the film’s story, screenplay, and dialogues.
