Shreya Ghoshal has made a long-awaited return to Kannada music, lending her voice to a romantic track for Crazy Star Ravi Chandran's upcoming film. The song, titled 'Ondhe Maatalli Helodadare', is composed by Palani D Senapathi, with lyrics written by Kaviraj. Sonu Nigam has also lent his voice to the song.
In recent months, there had been speculation that Shreya Ghoshal had distanced herself from Kannada music, with many composers attempting but failing to bring her back. However, for this movie, she has once again joined the Kannada music scene, much to the delight of her fans.
The film, which stars Crazy Star Ravi Chandran in the lead role, began its production quietly and has now reached its final stages. Produced by HS Nagashree under the banner of SM Productions, the film remains untitled for now. S Suprith is credited with the story, screenplay, and direction of the project.
This film is built around a unique concept that blends a love story with the emotional bond between a father and his daughter. The film has already completed 70 days of shooting in diverse and picturesque locations, including Kashmir, Rajasthan, the Andaman Islands, as well as Mangalore, Chikkamagaluru, Mysuru, and Bangalore. The team is now preparing to shoot the final portions of the film abroad for another 15 days, further adding to the film's international appeal.
The cinematography for the film is handled by KS Chandrashekar. The soundtrack also features contributions from other well-known singers such as Sonu Nigam, Kunal Ganjawala, Vijay Prakash, Rajesh Krishnan, and Palak Muchhal. The cast includes veteran actors like Srinivasa Murthy, Vijay Surya, and Shankar Ashwath, alongside an ensemble cast.
