Naveen Shankar, Aishani Shetty's film titled Dharani Mandala Madhyadolage 

Sridhar Shanmukha's directorial debut will bring together Gultoo-hero Naveen Shankar and Aishani Shetty. The team has already completed five days of shoot with the supporting cast and is getting ready to officially launch it with the first look poster, featuring the title, before resuming the next schedule.

Reliable sources state that the film will mostly be titled Dharani Mandala Madhyadolage (At the centre of the earth). The title is taken from the famous folk song, Punyakoti. It may be noted that a film with the same title was released in 1983, directed by Puttana Kanagal. 

Naveen is currently training in boxing for his character in the film. Aishani, on the other hand, plays an easy-go-lucky girl in the film that also stars Yashwanth Shetty and Sudha Belawadi.

Sridhar has previously assisted directors Rajendra Singh Babu, Ghouse Peer, Ananth Urs and Puri Jagannadh.
