Shantiyannu Kaledukollabedi, another Kannada anthology in the making

Anthologies seem to be the new trend in Kannada cinema. The latest to join this list is Shantiyannu Kaledukollabedi, an anthology comprising three films.    

The first film is helmed by Vignesh Sheregar, who has previously worked as an assistant director in several Kannada and Tulu films. Vignesh’s short will be about human existence and this project marks his directorial debut.

The second story in Shantiyannu Kaledukollabedi explores the relationship between a mother and a child, and will be directed by Basuma Kodagu.

The anthology will be rounded out with director Shiva’s story about a village youth who shifts to the city and becomes a hacker.

Backed by Padmavati Studios, Shantiyannu Kaledukollabedi features Kartik, Harshitha, Indrajit, Sangeetha, Chandrakala Bhat, Rakesh, Sampat Shastri, and Kavya Kodagu, among others.

While Kalki Abhishek and John have composed music for the anthology, the lyrics have been written by Ajay R Vedanti and Yash Shukra.
