Luckyman is a Tamil remake of a rom-com hit, Oh My Kadavule. Earlier, Appu’s role was offered to Vijay Sethupati. In the role, Puneeth will guide and give a chance to the male protagonist to save his devastated marriage. Because of the untimely death of Puneeth Rajkumar, the producer and director have used the voice of Puneeth’s brother Shivakumar in the other half of Luckyman.
Noted distributor Manjunath Gowda has bagged the distributional rights of Luckyman in Karnataka. The last dream project of Puneeth Rajkumar is slated to release on October 28. The teaser of the Gandhada Gudi was released two months after the death of the Sandalwood star. The movie is produced by Puneeth’s home production, PRK Productions.
The movie features, Puneeth Rajkumar and director Amoghavarsha, a well-known wildlife cinematographer. Gandhada Gudi is like a wildlife tour of the state and has extensively covered Nethrani, Murudeshwara, and Gokarna. Once speaking to the media, Puneeth said Gandhada Gudi is like a window to the marine world.
Sources indicate the title, Gandhada Gudi, is inspired by Dr Rajkumar’s 1973 hit Gandhada Gudi. Both versions of Gandhada Gudi are about forests, animals, and preservation.
