The last year saw two great actors -- Kamal Hassan and Amitabh Bachchan -- being roped into Kannada cinema. For Hassan, it isn't unknown territory; he acted in Kannada films 18 years ago. But, it was a first for Bachchan.
Now comes the news that maestro A R Rahman has agreed to compose the score for a Kannada film to be directed by Nanjunde Gowda. The film will be produced by London-based Dr Manohar and his wife Sunanda Manohar. Currently being shot in the UK, it stars Dhyan in the lead alongside new Bangalore-based heroine Sharmeelee. Composition of the music has already begun at Rehman Studios in Chennai.
