Friends Vasishta N Simha and Dhananjaya turn foes in Head Bush

Actors Dhananjaya and Vasishta N Simha, who were seen as friends in Tagaru, are back together on the silver screen in Head Bush, but this time as rivals. The movie, helmed by Shoonya and releasing on October 21, is based on the life of Bengaluru’s first underworld don, M P Jayaraj.
Vasishta says, “I am glad to team up with my close pal, Dhananjaya. This time, he is not only my co-star, but also my producer.I will be seen as Kotwal Ramachandra, a fierce rival of Jayaraj, who wants to stamp his authority in Bengaluru. My character enters during a crunch, offering a twist in the plot. Another USP of my character is that he doesn’t wear bell-bottom pants like the other males and has a strong reason for it.”
On getting into the skin of the character, he states, “I had to do a lot of research in terms of mannerisms, attire and hairstyle because people remember him and will start comparing. I have given it my all to live up to the expectations. The first instalment of Head Bush introduces and develops my role which has more prominence in the second part and makes an impact.”
The actor heaps praise on Dhananjaya by looking at the way his career has progressed. “Having seen Dhanu’s journey and his struggles in the initial days closely, I am happy with the way he has grown from being an actor to a producer. He is a fantastic actor and a very good human being, Now, he has turned into a passionate producer. Despite not having any shoots, he used to sit and supervise all the proceedings on the sets to ensure the shoot goes on without any obstacles. I hope the movie does really well and helps Dhananjay to go a long way in making content-rich films.”
