Nikhil to fight like Bond in Seetharama Kalyana

Nikhil Kumar-starrer Seetharama Kalyana directed by Harsha is currently on the floors. The lead hero, who has transformed his looks for the film, recently participated in a high octane action sequence choreographed by stunt brothers Ram-Lakshman. The film apparently has six fight sequences and this is the first of those. 

The team is planning to go in for a fight sequence styled after those in Bond films, which they say is first for Kannada. Nikhil will be seen fighting in a suit like the British spy. A huge set worth Rs 2 crore  and modelled after a construction site has been created at Minerva Mills for this shoot.

“The speciality of this fight sequence is the lighting. Speciality lighting has been brought in from Mumbai. And special equipment like Phantom and high speed cameras have been used to shoot the sequence over eight days,” says Sunil Gowda, executive producer of the film.

Meanwhile, a Great Dane dog also makes an entry in the film. “The dog was trained for four days before the shoot. It is a show dog and has won many awards on national levels,” the producer adds.

The team has planned a 130-day schedule, of which 26 days of shooting have been completed. The film, made under the banner of Channambika Productions, has Rachita Ram playing the female lead, with Ravi Shankar also part of the cast.
