A few days ago we had announced that Ganesh is playing the lead in Vijay Nagendra’s debut film. The film has now been titled as “Geeta”. The film is said to be an ode to the legend, Shankar Nag. In 1981, Shankar Nag had directed and acted in “Geeta”, which was a blockbuster upon release. However, the Ganesh starrer film will not be a remake of the film. The similarity between both the films ends with the title.
“Geeta” (1981) was directed by Shankar Nag and written by Arundhati Nag. It featured songs by Illayaraja, which are popular even today.
Meanwhile, the film will now be produced by Syed Salam in association with Golden Films. Syed Salam had, in the past, produced “Mugulu Nage” with Ganesh. Vijay Nagendra, who has worked as a co-director for Santhosh Ananddram’s blockbuster films, “Mr and Mrs Ramachari” and “Raajakumara”, is turning independent director with this film.
Ganesh also has “Orange” with Prashanth Raj, and a project with director Naganna, which will be his first horror movie.
