Celebrating the resounding success of ‘Kaatera,’ producer Rockline Venkatesh is set to captivate audiences with another dynamic project, ‘Karataka Dhamanaka.’ This film marks the first collaboration between Indian Michael Jackson, Prabhu Deva, and Kannada Chakravarthy, Dr. Shivarajakumar. Helmed by the accomplished director Yogaraj Bhat, featuring V Harikrishna as the music director and the talented cinematographer Santosh Rai Pathaje, the movie is poised to hit screens across India on the auspicious occasion of Mahashivarathri Day.
The late Dr. Ambarish’s voice, skillfully mimicked by Mimicry Gopi, adds magic to the first compelling song of ‘KD.’ Drawing inspiration from Yogaraj Bhat’s film ‘Drama,’ which featured Dr. Ambarish, the visuals are selected to infuse an extra dose of energy.
The title track, a dance extravaganza featuring Prabhu Deva and Shivarajakumar, teases the audience, promising a delightful cinematic experience.
Producer Rockline Venkatesh, brimming with confidence, is set to release another song in Dubai on February 10, followed by extensive publicity efforts. The film, centered around two thieves, promises to be a laugh riot, embodying the theme of eradicating bad through mischievous means, as stated by Rockline Venkatesh.
Yogaraj Bhat and V Harikrishna, the director and music director, respectively, composed the song during the Deepavali Day fireworks festival. Incorporating Dr. Ambarish’s voice was a spontaneous decision, and while AI technology presented some challenges, the team is optimistic about its magical impact on the audience. Bhat reveals that ‘KD’ revolves around the concept of ‘Oooru and Neeru.’
V Harikrishna expresses joy at Dr. Ambarish’s involvement in the film, and Yogaraj Bhat assures that the three-layered narrative in his concept will be enjoyed by all.
Cinematographer Santosh Rai Pathaje discloses that the sun’s light plays a significant role in the film. Bhushan, the dance director, expresses delight at working with his idol Prabhu Deva and wonders if he has done justice to his role with the accomplished Indian dancer on board.
Dr. Shivarajakumar, anticipating remarkable results, appreciates the unique quality of Yogaraj Bhat’s storytelling and expresses his enjoyment of working with both Prabhu Deva and producer Rockline Venkatesh.
Regarding his role as Kutantra in the film, Dr. Shivarajakumar humorously remarks on the contrast between his on-screen character and his real-life persona, asserting, “How long should I be obedient and good on screen? Of course, I am a good man in real life.”
Prabhu Deva, the multifaceted artist, likens Yogaraj Bhat to a ‘Wife’—someone you can either continue with or leave. He praises the director’s finesse and expresses his determination to earn a good name from Dr. Shivarajakumar. Acknowledging the excellence of the producers and directors, Karataka and Dhamanaka, he commends the classy work of music director Harikrishna and applauds the hard work and dedication of the young dance director Bhushan.
