Ganesh to be Bhavana's 'Romeo' in PC Shekar's next

20th June 2011
Director PC Shekar, whose last offering was 'Nayaka', has started work on his new film 'Romeo' that will be based on a love relationship, before and after marriage. “The protagonist in this script has a personality that reflects the idiosyncrasies of the Romeo of yore,'' says Shekar.

Shekar has finalized the cast for the film. Ganesh will be playing Romeo and Malayalam actress Bhavana, who also acted in 'Jackie', will be playing the female lead. He said he scouted for the right people who would suit the characters. On why he chose Bhavana, Shekar says, “The female character in the film is educated, principled, disciplined and highly temperamental. After watching Bhavana and her performances over the years in other scripts, I felt she would reflect the persona in the script,” he says.

Shekar explained that he had Ganesh in mind even when he was writing the script for the film. “With the roles he has played so far, he has intricately carved a niche for himself among other actors,” he points out. Shekar feels Ganesh will slip into the role of the romantic protagonist who is full of guts and glory and has charm and smartness, that make him stand out.

The music is by Arjun Janya who has also done 'Kempegowda', 'Birugaali' and the cinematography is by Vaidy. The producer is Ramesh Kumar P. The shooting will begin on August 1st.
