Srivatsa R's Dwepatra to be a cop-serial killer thriller

Chartered accountant Srivatsa R is set to turn director with Dwepatra, which will feature Chandu Gowda as a cop. Also starring Prashanth Siddi and Raghu Gowda, the film, which is penned by Srivatsa, is 60 per cent complete. The makers recently released the first-look poster.

According to Chandu, Dwepatra is an interesting subject about a serial killer. “The title describes the multiple disorder characterisation of a psychopath killer, and I play the role of a DCP officer. This is a serious script with no heroine,” says Chandu.

The makers, who have shot the film in Bengaluru, Chikmagalur, Tumakuru, and Sakleshpur, were all set to head towards North India and Leh to shoot the rest of the portions. However, this has been pushed due to the ongoing pandemic. “We now have to see how we are going to take this forward post the lockdown,” Chandu tells us. 

The film, produced by Sathyashraya, also has Suchendra Prasad, Payal Chengappa, and Ashwath Ninasam playing prominent roles. The music of  Dwepatra is composed by Maharaj Thevar.

Chandu, who came to the limelight with the serial Lakshmi Baramma, was last seen in the Darshan-starrer Roberrt, in which he played one of the antagonists. The actor plays the lead in Jackpot, and is also part of Family Pack, a film made under PRK Productions, which co-stars Likith Shetty and Amrutha Iyengar.
