Darshan’s 51st has officially been titled as “Yajamana”. There were speculations about the film’s name for the last few days. The team had the option of three names of which, “Yajamana” was finally chosen. The film has no connection with another film of the same name starring Vishnuvardhan that was released 18 years ago.
A set has been erected by Shashidhar Adapa in Mysuru for the film where shooting will begin on February 19. While Rashmika Mandanna and Tanya Hope are the leading ladies, Anoop Singh Thakur will play the main villain with Ravishankar and Dhananjay in important roles. Devaraj will be playing Rashmika’s father.
Darshan heads into Yajamana right after completing the mythological Kurukshetra. With time only enough for regrowing his moustache, there is no space to squeeze in a photo shoot for Yajamana. Pon Kumar is directing this film. Music composer V Harikrishna is not only the music director of the film, but also the ‘creative head’ of the film.
