Darshan’s Roberrt heads to Varanasi

Darshan is a busy man these days. The actor’s latest film, Odeya, was released last week and attracted houseful crowds over the weekend. Meanwhile, the Challenging Star has completed a schedule in Mysuru for Tharun Sudhir’s upcoming commercial entertainer, Roberrt, and is off to Varanasi, where he will resume shooting from Monday. 

The team will be canning some important portions in Kashi. With this schedule, the film’s talkie portions will almost be complete; only the shooting for two songs will be left. The entire shoot is expected to be finished by mid-January. 

The upcoming film, produced by Umapathy S, will mark Asha Bhat’s debut in Kannada cinema. The actor, who hails from Bhadravathi, made her mark with the Bollywood Vidyut Jammwal-starrer Junglee.

Roberrt will also star Jagapati Babu as an antagonist. This will be the first time he shares screen space with Darshan. Vinod Prabhakar is part of the cast as well. 

Arjun Janya has scored the music, while Sudhakar S Raj is handling the camerawork for Roberrt.

Darshan is also getting ready to start shooting for the historical drama, Raja Veera Madakari Nayaka. The film, directed by Rajendra Singh Babu and made under the banner of Rockline Productions, will start rolling in January.
