‘Ratnamanjarii backed by NRIs crazy about Kannada films’

Ratnamanjarii

, starring Raj Charan and Akhila Prakash in the lead, is being produced by S Sandeep Kumar’s Sharavathi Filmss, Nataraja Halebeedu’s SNS Cinemaas, and Dr Naveen Krishna’s Aryan Motion Pictures. Elaborating on the project, Sandeep says, “This script has been backed by

NRI

producers, who grew up in Karnataka. Once their corporate careers were established, they wished to revisit their

Kannada

film craze — this came together with Ratnamanjarii.”
Initially, Sandeep felt that it was ideal to have stars on the cast for their first venture. “But the team convinced me that the new concept would work better with newcomers than known faces. With newbies, the suspense factor, which is vital to a thriller such as this, can be retained,” he shares.
