Now, Nataraj reveals to us that he has signed his next in Kannada, which is a suspense thriller based on a novel, which is titled Kalbettadha Darodekoraru. "We had a small muhurat on 19th, just before Aashada began. This is based on a novel by Mysuru theatreperson Anush Shetty.
It has a strong script, which revolves in an around this place named Kalbetta. The story is about all the situations and reactions to the news of dacoits attacking this place," adds Nataraj. Playing Nataraj's nemesis in the film will be Hemanth, who was seen in Amaravathi. Also seen in the film will be TV actress Shwetha, Sundar Raj, Anil Neenasam and Manjunath. "We have a cast that comprises mostly theatrepersons. The film is being jointly backed by software engineers from India and United States and we plan to shoot around Hunsur, Tumakuru and Huliyuradurga over two schedules. Another thing I am looking forward to is the fact that I don a complete makeover from Rama Rama Re..., which involves no beard and a character that's completely lively," says Nataraj.
