My next film will be a youthful fun entertainer: Satya Prakash

Critically acclaimed director Satya Prakash, who is known for films like Rama Rama Re, Ondalla Eradalla, and Man of the Match is now getting ready with his next project. The film, which will go on floors early next year, is written by Satya. "This film will be based on real incidents and will represent the life of a common man. It will be a youthful and fun entertainer, and is a light-hearted take on some of my personal experiences from my college days," says Satya, adding, "I have done a round of recce in Shivamogga, and will soon be finalising the locations."

Interestingly, the director's next project will also have him facing the camera for the first time, and he will be playing a central character in the film. "Since the story is mostly based on my personal experiences, the team during the reading session felt I can best fit into one of the central characters," says Satya, who will also be bankrolling the project under his home banner, Satya Pictures.

The film will star Manjunath in the lead, and also reunite the Rama Rama Re actors Nataraj S Bhat, Dharmanna S Kadur with Satya. The yet-to-be-titled film will also have Satya's frequent collaborators Vasuki Vishwa and Lavith in the technical team. "I will also be roping in newcomers for the project, and the process is currently underway," says Satya.
