In the past, a hero was expected to possess good looks, maintain physical fitness through gym workouts. However, times have changed, and these criteria are no longer the sole determinants of heroism.
Nowadays, anyone can aspire to be a hero, but it requires genuine acting prowess. Munikrishna, recognized by television audiences for his portrayal of the villain Muruga in the series Agnisakshi, has once again emerged in the limelight. After starring in the lead role in the movie Kodemuruga, he now assumes the mantle of a hero in the film Satyamangala.
Every superstar begins as a supporting actor in their debut film. The director highlights Munikrishna’s deep-seated passion and commitment to the craft of cinema.
The unveiling of the title of the movie Satyamangala saw Ragini gracing the event as a special guest. Held in the quaint village of Hoovinahadagali in the Bellary district, Ragini launched the title and extended her best wishes to the entire team. Aryan Pratap, known for his creative contributions to films like Karanji, Cheluveye Ninna Nodalu, and Kannada 90/11, as well as his direction in the acclaimed Tamil short film Hair Kenar, is directing the action sequences of Satyamangala. His credentials include assistant director roles in Mani Ratnam’s Alai Payute and Raavan, along with collaboration with Hollywood’s Will Smith team. Aryan Pratap also holds a Guinness World Record for scripting the first-ever film scene adventure.
The cast of Satyamangala includes prominent names such as The Great Khali, Bollywood’s Arbaaz Khan, Kanak Pandey, Sharanya, Sanjay Kumar Ravi Kahale, Vijay Chindur, Mantesh Hiremath, and GG. Dedicated to MLA Krishna Nayak, the film is produced by Shankar B and Munikrishna under ASA Production and IRA Production. Chandrasekhar KS handles the camera work, while Veer Samarth is responsible for the music. MN Vishwa manages editing, Peter Hines oversees stunts, and Chinni Prakash choreographs the dance sequences.
Satyamangala is a Pan India project with shooting locations spanning Dandeli, Male Mahadeshwar Betta, Sri Lanka, Kathmandu, and Bangkok. The team has already completed a 10-day shoot in Bangkok.
An intriguing aspect of Satyamangala is the debut acting performance of Pondicherry Chief Minister N. Rangaswamy. The film’s team has kept details about his character under wraps.
