Padavi Poorva shows romance of pre-social media days

A special poster of Padavi Poorva, featuring debutant actors Prithvi Shamanur and Anjali Anish, was released on Valentine’s Day. The film, directed by Hariprasad Jayanna, tells a love story, set in the 1990s, that revolves around pre-university students. It features five lead actors, along with Yasho Shivakumar.

“Before the advent of social media, romance, love and college were different from what they are today. Minute details have gone into presenting these things the way they were 25 years ago. The poster that we have released is from a song,” says Hariprasad.

The team has completed 80 per cent of the shoot. “We are left with just 10 days of shooting, and some patchwork, which needs to be shot in Mangaluru. After that, we will be done with the film,” he adds.

Padavi Poorva is bankrolled by Yogaraj Bhat and Ravi Shamanur. It has Arjun Janya composing the music for songs written by Bhatru. The film’s cinematography will be handled by Santhosh Rai Pathaje.
