, which, incidentally, also marks the debut of actress Rekha as producer. “It was a great moment for the team when Yash sounded the first clap. He was very supportive of the team,” says Vivek.

Rekha, who was on Season 4 of Bigg Boss Kannada, says that she had been looking at turning director and was working on a story when Vivek’s script caught her eye. “It’s fun, fresh story that will appeal to the youth. Today, people look for entertainment even when they watch news. They will not want to go to theatres and feel depressed. I felt that Vivek’s story had the potential to engage and have audiences come out of the cinema hall happy, while also giving them a subtle socially-relevant message,” says Rekha, who teamed up with AR Yashwanth to produce the film under the banner, Rekha Movies. She will also be seen as a supporting actor in the film.

In the lead is TV actor Bharat, along with Sonal Monteiro. Rekha’s sister, Seema, debuts as a supporting character in the film that goes on floors in April.
