For his 127th film, Shiva Rajkumar has joined hands with Avane Srimannarayana fame Sachin Ravi, who has also penned the story for this untitled drama. Moreover, besides directing the movie, Sachin Ravi has also donned the cap of producer as he has undertaken the task of bankrolling this venture under his home banner 200 Not Out Cinemas.
The team is planning to unveil the title of the flick by the first week of August. It is likely to go on the floors in September this year. It is expected that Shivarajkumar will be seen playing a superhero in the film, which is touted to be a spy thriller.

The project is believed to be inspired by the life of Mahabharata’s character Ashwathama, the son of Guru Dronacharya. Set against the backdrop of the present times, this project will be big on VFX.
The story will revolve around Ashwathama’s fight against evil and his relationships in life. In the meantime, official information on the rest of the cast and crew is awaited.
