HC Suresh, who has been a part of the Kannada film industry for the last three decades, has produced Jumbo Circus through Mahati Combines. Pramod Shetty’s wife, Supreeta Shetty, has joined as the co-producer.
M.D. Sridhar, the director of several hit films, has written the story, screenplay, and handled the direction for this film. Starring Praveen Tej, Anjali S., and Anish in the lead roles, Jumbo Circus revolves around themes of friendship and love. The trailer launch event was held recently.
The trailer was released by Supreeta Shetty, Anjali Anish, and actress Nayana.
Director M.D. Sridhar shared that the story is about two best friends who study in the same school, go to the same college, live in the same dormitory, get married on the same day, and reside in the same area. However, their wives, who dislike their friendship, raise their children as enemies. The film explores how love blossoms between the hero and heroine, who have grown up fighting with each other. The film is nearing release, with plans to launch in the third or last week of this month. Two songs written by Kaviraj have received a great response so far, and Sridhar noted that there are four songs in total in the film.
Executive Producer Supreeta Shetty remarked that Suresh has a deep love for cinema. She added, “We stand by them. This is a brilliant concept. While developing the story for a serial, we decided it had the potential to become a film. It’s a family-oriented film. If these producers, who have made good films, succeed, it will give them the strength to make even more.”
Actress Anjali Anish expressed her passion for the movie, saying, “In the film, I play Ankita, a cantankerous girl who fights a lot but is also a good person. I believe everyone will enjoy the movie.”
Lyricist Kaviraj stated that the Kannada audience has sent a clear message: If a film is entertaining, it will succeed. He praised Sridhar’s unique sense of comedy and remarked that Praveen Tej has all the qualities of a promising hero. “The producers, who are from Thirthahalli, have made this movie with a lot of love. We hope the movie will be a hit,” he said.
Dialogue writer Raghu Niduvalli discussed the film’s concept, while cinematographer AV Krishnakumar acknowledged the support the producers provided to meet all the film’s needs.
Comedian Nayana, who plays a friend in the film, humorously noted that she talks a lot, and the director advised her to speak less. She shared, “There’s been talk that good films aren’t being made, but this is an exception. Jumbo Circus is a complete ‘paisa vasool’ film.”
The music for Jumbo Circus is composed by Vasuki Vaibhav, with lyrics written by Jayant Kaykini, Dr. Nagendra Prasad, and Kaviraj. The cast includes Swathi, Lakshmi Siddaiah, Achyut Kumar, Ravishankar Gowda, Avinash, and others.
Praveen Tej, the hero of the film, was busy with the shooting of another movie and was unable to attend the trailer launch event for Jumbo Circus.
