R.S.P. is expanding its business portfolio from chit funds and financing to the realm of entertainment with its latest venture, a psycho-thriller titled “Usiru.” The title unveiling ceremony was conducted by producer Lakshmi Harish and the Renukamba Digital Theater team.
Lakshmi Harish, leading the RSP group of companies, considers this new production a dream project as it continues to attract talented individuals. Lakshmi Harish emphasized that RSP stands for the starting letters of their children’s names.
Director Prabhakar narrated the storyline, focusing on an irresponsible police officer tasked with protecting his wife from an anonymous threat while seeking revenge for his mother’s killers. The film’s muhurta took place in Madikeri on the 17th of this month, with Prabhakar conducting workshops for the team. With 12 years of industry experience, Prabhakar described the film as a birth-and-death saga, featuring only nine crucial characters.
