Avane Srimannarayana’s next stop at Vijayapura

There seems to be a last-minute change in plan for Avane Srimannarayana. One of the major schedules of the film, which was to take place in Rajasthan, has now been shifted to Vijayapura.

The Rakshit Shetty-starrer, directed by debutant Sachin Ravi, is currently on floors and the team has completed one part of the schedule in Bengaluru. On May 15, the team will head to Vijayapura, where they will be shooting portions in a 25-day stretch.”Upon returning, another set should be ready here (Bengaluru),” says Rakshit.

Any reason for the change in location? According to Rakshit, the situations to be shot in this schedule require a “cool place with dry land as a backdrop.”

“Initially we had decided on Rajasthan, but after a reccee at this place, we felt that Vijayapura would provide a more authentic setting,” says Rakshit, adding, “In fact, the shoot in Vijayapura and Badami is the only outdoor shoot for our film, and we are shooting mostly indoors, for which huge sets are being created.”

Avane srimannarayana has Shanvi Srivastava playing the female lead, with Balaji Manohar and Achyuth Rao part of the ensemble cast. The film, made as a joint venture between Pushkar Films, Paramvah Studios and Shree Devi Enterrpises, has music by Charan Raj and cinematography by Karam Chawla.
