A first authentic film on popular sports HOCKEY (it was Shahrukh Khan Chak De India we remember always) in Kannada – Jersey No 10 that is hitting silver screen on next Friday – May 19 in over 100 screens.
What is interesting about this film on Hockey with a love story is that the state level Hockey player Adyah Thimmaiah is the story writer with his mother’s support and he is the hero and director of the film. His cousin Rashin Subbaiah is one of the producers. Adyah Thimmaiah is also joint producer in Adyah Koteshwara Films with Laloo Thimmaiah.
A Coorgi connection is not only in the subject but also in production. As we know most of the hockey players are found from the Scotland of this subcontinent Coorg. Here is an honest and sincere attempt at a film.
The film has obtained a U/A certificate. It is going to be a motivational thriller for youth, assures Adyah. There is a love story of three ages and the concept is an orphan rising to the level of national representation in Hockey. This particular game is also the power exhibition, one he says with a lot of confidence on his debut film.
Thriller Manju has appeared in one of the roles, done four fights and he is the coach.
Dattanna, a senior actor and highly learned has made the right advice to retain those who have worked for the film giving due credit on silver screen. It is because Dattanna acted in five days for this movie under Chetan’s direction. Reacting to it later Adyah stated we have not done injustice and Chetan gets the credit of co director with Narayana the key technical adviser of the film. Dattanna apparently has not tried this hockey in his lifetime. This is a big opportunity in my life. The team appears to be well deserving for good success he says.
