Rishi’s set for some hardcore herogiri in college caper

He’s done a whodunnit and comedies and an upcoming flick will see him as a weaver. And with his next, he is heading back to college, quite literally. “I am an engineering graduate and play an engineer student in this film, in which I get to do hard-core

herogiri

,” says Rishi. To be helmed by Sharath Bhagwan (previously associated with

Godhi Banna Sadharana Mykattu

,

Turtu Nirgamana

, Puta Thirugisi Nodi), the untitled flick will have Rishi doing the whole song-and-dance routine and a fair bit of action too. "Frankly, after Operation Alamelamma, I was getting only

Parmi

kind of roles. Then, after

Kavaludaari

, I began getting offered serious cop kind of roles or suspense flicks. This came as a welcome change and since I’ve already lived a life of an engineering student, I am happy to revisit those memories,” says Rishi.

To be shot in real locations, the film will also have sequences that star him as an angry young man. “I think every actor looks for a detour of this sort once in a while, to let one’s hair down and just enjoy some good and light-hearted fun,” sums up Rishi.
