Manju Mandavya was termed the next big thing when the trailer of his debut film “Masterpiece” released online. It had blockbuster written all over it. The film released to a record-breaking opening in Sandalwood and was a huge grosser in its first weekend. However, the film received a mixed response from the audience. Everything was fine in the first half of the film. However, the last half an hour of the film got a negative response. The film ended up becoming super hot because of Yash’s stardom.
Manju Mandavya was criticized by all for screwing up the film’s climax. Before the film’s release, there was news that he would be directing Puneeth Rajkumar. However, this did not happen. Manju took a break to script his next and he surprised everyone when he announced his upcoming project.
He decided to make the film with a limited budget and hence decided to star himself in the film. He, along with Chikanna, will be playing the lead roles in the film, which has been titled “Sri Bharatha Baahubali”. It is being said that none of the stars were interested in working with him, therefore he decided to cast himself as the lead. The director, will not only play a full-fledged hero but will also be handling every department of the film including being the executive producer. The film is being made under the banner of Aishwarya Film Productions.
With the first schedule of the film completed, the director is getting ready to start with the next portions sometime during the second week of July. Sarah Harish has been roped in to play the female lead. Actor Rishi will also be making a special appearance.
