Rakshit Shetty to begin shoot for Hemanth M Rao's Sapta Sagaradache Yello in January

Rakshit Shetty is currently busy with the final leg of shooting of Kiranraj’s 777 Charlie, which will be completed by the end of December. The Avane Srimannarayana actor will begin 2021 with director Hemanth M Rao’s Sapta Sagaradaache Yello, which will go on floors in the second week of January.

Confirming the update, producer Pushkar Mallikarjunaiah, who is teaming up with the actor and director after Godhi Banna Sadharana Mykattu, says, “The entire shooting will take place in one stretch. It will be completely shot in real locations in Bengaluru.”

The Kavaludaari director, who is currently in the last phase of the pre-production work, had told Cinema Express in a previous interview that he wanted to direct an age-old romance which would take the audience back to films like Haalu Jenu, Bandhana, Casablanca, and Mouna Ragam. Hemanth aims to fulfil this wish with the Rakshit-starrer.

The film will feature Rakshit in two shades, and the actor will begin shooting in his 777 Charlie look. He will later undergo a makeover.

While music director Charan Raj and cinematographer Advaitha Gurumurthy are already on board, the makers will finalise the rest of the cast and crew by the end of the month.

Apart from Hemanth’s film, Rakshit also has Richie, the sequel to Kirik Party, and Punyakoti lined up.
