Danveerrah: I was initially scared to do a romantic film  

If not for the pandemic lockdown, Bazaar hero Danveerrah would have wrapped up the shoot of his upcoming film, which is currently in the tail end of filming. The actor shared with us the experience of working on this project, By Two Love.

Helmed by College Kumar director Hari Santhosh, By Two Love is said to be an intense love story. With music by Ajaneesh B Loknath and cinematography by Mahendra Simha, it features Sreeleela as the female lead.

"We had resumed shooting on April 19. However, we had to discontinue the shoot just after three days due to the lockdown in the city (Bengaluru)," says Danveerrah, who has completed 70 per cent of the shoot for the film.

The actor made his debut with an action movie and now, for his sophomore effort, he's trying his hand at a contrasting genre. "Bazaar branded me as an action hero, and now, I'm attempting a romantic subject in By Two Love. I was initially scared, but once the shooting began, I slowly got comfortable. After watching the rushes, I felt I could do justice to the romantic genre. Even the director and the production house felt the same," says Danveerah, adding, "Action films need physical effort, whereas family-based subjects are more about emotions. The director has written a dialogue-heavy film, and the lines helped me get into the skin of the character. It was a good experience."

Danveerrah reveals he will begin shooting for a new film called Bumper in the second half of 2021. “The story is ready, and we had plans to shoot in June. But as of now I am busy with By Two Love and I will begin shooting for Bumper post this.”

This project will have him collaborating with By Two Love producers — KVN Production and Suprith Production — for the second time. However, the project will not be directed by Hari Santhosh. “The story of Bumper has been changed and we have a new story to tell. It will be helmed by a new director,” the actor says.
