What is ‘Ravutha’? Is the horse rider ‘Ravutha’? What is the film all about? It explores life after death, says young director Siddu Vajrappa, who discussed the concept with his team during the audio release at Sri Renukamba Digital Theater.
Why did this idea of life after death strike him at such a young age? He goes back to his school days: “I lost a close friend when I was young, and the thought of where he went haunted me. Even as I grew older, the question remained in my mind. I studied the Vedas and Upanishads, gathering insights from the ‘Garuda Purana.’ Eventually, I developed a two-dimensional story for the film, dating back to the 12th century.”
The song release ceremony of the film Ravutha, produced by Iranna Subhash Badiger under the banner of Vishwakarma Cinemas and directed by Siddu Vajrappa, starring Raj Praveen, was held recently. Congress leader HM Revanna released the songs and extended his best wishes to the film crew. The songs are available on Siri Music.
Raj Praveen plays the lead, portraying two characters, Shivabasava and Ballava. Bhavani Purohit plays the female lead, appearing in two distinct roles. The film features three songs composed by Suchin Sharma, with Vinay Gowda serving as the cinematographer. The film recently passed the censor board, earning praise. The release date is expected soon.
“This is my third film. The director and I have been friends for eight years, and he has written a great story. I’m very grateful to the producer for giving me this opportunity. I actually play three different shades of a character, not two,” said Raj Praveen.
“I work in IT. I liked the story the director told me and decided to produce the film,” said producer Eranna Subhash Badiger, who added that he has taken a loan from the bank and pays EMI every month.
Actress Bhavani Purohit, music director Suchin Sharma, and actors Siri Chikkanna, Raghav Gaudappa, Maresh, Narasimha, and Harsha Vardhan also shared their experiences and contributions to the film.
