Puneeth Rajkumar-Santhosh Ananddram on a hat trick

Even as Puneeth Rajkumar’s upcoming film, Yuvarathnaa, directed by Santhosh Ananddram, is creating a lot of hype ahead of its release, there is a strong buzz that the actor and director are set to team up once again. Confirming the development, a source says talks are currently on between Puneeth and Santhosh, and in all likelihood, they will be uniting for yet another mass entertainer.

Puneeth’s first association with the Mr and Mrs Ramachari director was for Raajakumara. The family entertainer was declared a blockbuster upon release in 2017. There is thus a lot of expectation from their next project, Yuvarathnaa.

It is being said that their third project will be bankrolled by Hombale Production, which had also produced Raajakumara and is backing the yet-to-be-released Yuvarathnaa. An official announcement is, however, awaited.

Puneeth Rajkumar is currently busy shooting for Chethan Kumar’s James. Meanwhile, fans of the actor are looking forward to the first single, Power of Youth, from Yuvarathnaa which will be out on Wednesday on Hombale’s music channel. The song, sung by Nakash Aziz, has been composed by S Thaman and has lyrics written by Santhosh Ananddram.

Yuvarathnaa is currently in the post-production phase. It was recently announced that the action commercial entertainer produced by Vijay Kiragandur will be released in Telugu as well.

Sayyeshaa plays the female lead in Yuvarathnaa, while Dhananjay will be seen as an antagonist. Diganth, Sonu Gowda, and Prakash Raj are also part of the ensemble cast.
