GOLDEN STAR GANESH: sakkare now shoting start

Golden Star Ganesh gained entry into films by playing a villain’s character in Tapori directed by B.Suesha. He had also worked as an assistant director in many of the Television serials directed by Suresha and Yogaraj Bhat after which he became hugely popular with his Comedy Show in Udaya TV. Now, Ganesh will be playing lead in B.Suresha’s new film which has been tentatively titled as “Sakkare’. The title may be changed, says B. Suresha.
Incidentally talented actress Radhika Pandit has been chosen to play the heroine’s role in the film. Radhika Pandit will join the shoot after the completion of her commitment to Yogaraj Bhat directed Drama now progressing briskly in Mysore.

ಗೋಲ್ಡನ್ ಸ್ಟಾರ್ ಗಣೇಶ್ ಬಾಯಿಗೆ ರಾಧಿಕಾ ಸಕ್ಕರೆ!

ಗೋಲ್ಡನ್ ಸ್ಟಾರ್ ಗಣೇಶ್ ಮುಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೆಲ್ಲ ಚಿನ್ನವಾಗುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ. ಅತಿರಥ ಮಹಾರಥರ ಚಿತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ನಟಿಸಿದರೂ, ವಿಮರ್ಶಕರು ಹೊಗಳಿದರೂ ಪ್ರೇಕ್ಷಕರು ಚಿತ್ರಮಂದಿರಕ್ಕೆ ಬರುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ. ಇಂತಹ ಹೊತ್ತಲ್ಲಿ ಬಿ. ಸುರೇಶ್ 'ಸಕ್ಕರೆ' ಪಾಕ ರೆಡಿ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಬಡಿಸುತ್ತಿರುವವರು ಅಭಯ್ ಸಿಂಹ. ಮೆಲ್ಲುವವರು ಗಣೇಶ್ ಮತ್ತು ರಾಧಿಕಾ ಪಂಡಿತ್!

'ಮುಂಜಾನೆ'ಯ ಸೋಲಿನಿಂದ ಇನ್ನೂ ಗೋಲ್ಡನ್ ಸ್ಟಾರ್ ಎದ್ದಿಲ್ಲ. ಅದಕ್ಕೂ ಮೊದಲು ಸೋತಿರುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಲೆಕ್ಕವಿಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೂ ಅವರ ಬೇಡಿಕೆ ಇನ್ನೂ ತೀರಾ ಕುಸಿದಿಲ್ಲ. ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಸಾಕ್ಷಿ, ಬಿ. ಸುರೇಶ್‌ರಂಥವರು ಗಣೇಶ್ ಕೈ ಹಿಡಿದಿರುವುದು. ಆದರೆ ಅವರು ನಿರ್ದೇಶನದ ಜವಾಬ್ದಾರಿಯನ್ನು 'ಶಿಕಾರಿ' ಖ್ಯಾತಿಯ ಅಭಯ್ ಸಿಂಹ ಹೆಗಲಿಗೇರಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ಅಭಯ್ ಸಿಂಹ್ ಈ ಹಿಂದೆ ಸುರೇಶ್ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣದ 'ಗುಬ್ಬಚ್ಚಿಗಳು' ಚಿತ್ರ ನಿರ್ದೇಶಿಸಿ ಭಾರೀ ಹೆಸರು ಮಾಡಿದವರು. ಅದೇ ರೀತಿಯ ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ಚಿತ್ರ ಶಿಕಾರಿ. ಎರಡೂ ಚಿತ್ರಗಳು ಕಮರ್ಷಿಯಲ್ ಆಗಿ ಅಷ್ಟೇನೂ ಸುದ್ದಿ (ಶಿಕಾರಿ ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಇನ್ನಷ್ಟೇ ಬಿಡುಗಡೆಯಾಗಬೇಕು) ಮಾಡಿಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೂ ಭರವಸೆ ಇಟ್ಟಿರುವ ಸುರೇಶ್, ಕಮರ್ಷಿಯಲ್ ಚಿತ್ರವನ್ನು ಅಭಯ್ ಸಿಂಹ ಕೈಗಿಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ಗಣೇಶ್‌ಗೆ ಇದೇ ಮೊದಲು ರಾಧಿಕಾ ಪಂಡಿತ್ ಜೋಡಿಯಾಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಕನ್ನಡದ ಬಹುತೇಕ ನಾಯಕರಿಗೆ ಜೋಡಿಯಾದರೂ ಗಣೇಶ್‌ಗೆ ರಾಧಿಕಾ ನಾಯಕಿಯಾಗಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಸದ್ಯದ ಮಟ್ಟಿಗೆ ರಾಧಿಕಾ ಗೆಲ್ಲುವ ಕುದುರೆ. ಅದೇ ಕಾರಣದಿಂದಲೋ ಏನೋ, ಹೊಸ ಚಿತ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ಅವರನ್ನೇ ನಾಯಕಿಯನ್ನಾಗಿ ಆಯ್ಕೆ ಮಾಡಲಾಗಿದೆ.

ಇನ್ನು ಸುರೇಶ್‌ರ ಚಿತ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ಸದ್ಯದ ಮಟ್ಟಿಗೆ 'ಸಕ್ಕರೆ' ಎಂದು ಹೆಸರಿಡಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಇದು ಬದಲಾಗುವ ಸಾಧ್ಯತೆಗಳೂ ಇವೆಯಂತೆ.

ರಾಧಿಕಾ ಪಂಡಿತ್ ಈಗ ಬ್ಯುಸಿ. ಯೋಗರಾಜ್ ಭಟ್‌ರ 'ಡ್ರಾಮಾ'ದಲ್ಲೀಗ ಪರದೆ ಎಳೆಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಅದು ಮುಗಿದ ನಂತರವಷ್ಟೇ ರಾಧಿಕಾ 'ಸಕ್ಕರೆ' ಟೀಮ್ ಸೇರಲಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಈ ಟೀಮ್‌ಗೆ ಪ್ರಕಾಶ್ ರೈ ಸೇರ್ಪಡೆಯಾಗುವ ಸಾಧ್ಯತೆಗಳೂ ಇವೆ. ಎಲ್ಲವೂ ಇನ್ನು ಕೆಲವೇ ದಿನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ನಿರ್ಧಾರವಾಗಲಿದೆ.

ಭಟ್ರು ಬರೆದಿರುವ ಐದು ಹಾಡುಗಳಿಗೆ ಹರಿಕೃಷ್ಣ ಸಂಗೀತ ನೀಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಮೇ 14ರಂದು ಮುಹೂರ್ತ. ನಂತರ ಚಿತ್ರೀಕರಣ ಶುರು. ನೋಡೋಣ, ಗಣೇಶ್ ಲಕ್ಕು ಸಕ್ಕರೆಯಲ್ಲಾದರೂ ಬದಲಾಗುತ್ತಾ?

Golden Star Ganesh and Deepa Sannidhi starrer Sakkare has been launched on Monday early morning with a Pooja in Dodda Ganapathy Temple at Bull Temple Road. The Pooja was held quite early in the morning and immediately thereafter the unit members moved to Madikeri for further shooting of the film. The film is being produced by Shylaja Nag and B.Suresha of Media House Productions and directed by Abhay Simha who had already directed an award winning film “Gubbachchigalu’ earlier and bilingual film “Shkari’ with Malayalam Super Star Mammootty in the lead role.

Hari Krishna is the music director of the film for which all the five songs of the film has been written by Yogaraj Bhat. The film will be shot for ten days in Madikeri after which the unit is returning to Bengaluru. Later there will be a break for the shooting of the film. The second schedule of the film has not been planned yet.

Media House, the producers of Sakkare featuring Ganesh in the lead role have opted out for Deepa Sannidhi in place of Radhika Pandit who was the original choice of the film. According to sources, this change was necessary in view of the matching of dates for the film’s shoot as Radhika is yet to finish her shooting portions of Yogaraj Bhat’s Drama for which final schedule is expected to start immediately after actor Prakash Raj joins the film unit. The shooting of song portions of the film is also not yet completed for the film yet.

Deepa Sannidhi on the other hand is busy now having signed two biggies with Sudeep (Bachchan) and Vijay (Jayammana Maga). However since the launch of both these films got postponed from May as has been planned earlier, she has time to allot her dates for Sakkare. This would mean that Deepa has already signed films with big stars like Darshan, Puneet and has now signed films with Sudeep and Vijay too. With Sakkare she would have worked with all major heroes except Upendra.

Radhika Pandit has already worked with Puneet Raj Kumar in a block buster like Hudugru and has now been working with Yash, in Drama. All the three forthcoming films of this talented artists that include Nagathihalli Chadnrashekhar directed ‘Breaking News”, Arjun directed “Adhdhoori’ and M.D.Sridhar directed “Sagar’ are carrying good reports. Adhdhoori’s songs are already rocking everywhere around. If even one or two of these three films hit the success pole, then Radhika is sure to be the pick of other big hero’s films.
