The muhurta ceremony of the biographical film “Samartha Sadguru Sri Sangameshwara Maharajaru,” the biopic of Sri Sangameshwara Maharaja, Kalpata of Inchageri Mutt, Hipparagi, on the banks of the Krishna river in Jamkhandi Taluk, recently commenced at Vidyapeeth, Bangalore. In the presence of Mr. Prabhuji Maharaj of Inchageri, National award-winning director Padmasri Girish Kasaravalli launched the film by displaying the clapboard.
Two years ago, I suggested to producer Madhavananda to film the life story of Sri Sangameshwara Maharaja of Inchageri. It has now been realized. The Inchageri tradition holds significance across all states, a tradition which Sri Sangameshwara Maharaja faithfully followed. Sri Prabhuji Maharaj blessed that the film depicting Sri Sangameshwara, renowned as the Kalpataru of Kali Yuga, will achieve immense success.
Both the producer and the director are the reasons I joined this movie. They supported me during the making of “Tai Saheba.” I was amazed when I learned about the history of Sri Sangameshwara Maharaja. Director Girish Kasaravalli advised against portraying him as a miracle worker on screen but rather as a great achiever. He wished the film and the team good luck.
The shooting will commence in four stages starting next month. New talent Ravi Narayan is portraying the role of Sree Sangameswara. Director Raja Ravishankar mentioned that senior actors like Ramakrishna, Vijayakashi, Vinayaprasad, Sandeep Malani, Narayana Swamy, etc., are part of the star cast.
I have previously produced two films, and this is the third. Sri Sangameshwara Maharaja’s achievements are profound, and we aim to convey them to the audience through this film. Producer Madhavananda Yogappa Shegunasi expressed hopes for everyone’s support for the film.
Ravi Narayan elaborated on his role, and film crew members, including music director AT Ravish and devotees of the Inchageri tradition, were present at the film’s launch.
