Chandan Achar’s next is a film on hockey called Jersey 10

Actor and former Bigg Boss

Kannada

contestant Chandan Achar has signed up for a sports drama called

Jersey 10

, to be directed by Mysuru-based Chethan. The film, which is based on hockey, was kickstarted with a muhurtha recently. The title and the subject, though, led to speculation that the film is a take on the Tamil film Jersey. Chandan refutes this saying, "Jersey 10 has no connection with the Tamil film Jersey except the title and the fact that both are sport-based films. The only reason we chose the tile is because it conveys the subject instantly and strikes a chord with audiences.

Hockey

is in the pulse of the people of

Madikeri

, a facet that has not really been explored in Kannada cinema. The story is set in a college and shows the passion of youngsters towards the sport. I have played hockey as a student in Mysuru, which should come in handy to play my character. The team is looking at having three leading ladies in the film, casting for which is still on.”
The actor, meanwhile, is also committed to be a part of

Bengaluru Boys

that has Sri Mahadev and Vainidhi Jagdish on the cast.
