A new report from The Hindu shares a brief synopsis for a new bilingual martial arts film in production titled “Puthu Varsham”, directed by Vemuganti and starring Banuchandar, his son, Jayanth, and Priyadarshini Ghose.
Veteran actor Banuchandar plays a martial art instructor who uses his craft for illegal activities. As the lead villain in Puthu Varsham, he is pitted against Jayanth, a karate specialist. Incidentally, Jayanth is Banuchandar’s son in real life, this being his third movie. Director Vemuganti, who has already made five successful films in Telugu, is attempting his first bilingual (Tamil and Telugu) with Puthu Varsham. “So far I have dealt with varied themes — comedy, love, women’s issues, devotional and even one on the devadasis. Martial arts is the central theme of Puthu Varsham with romance thrown in. I have cast a new face, Priyadarshini Ghose opposite Jayanth,” says Vemuganti.
To gain a little more perspective about the film, I found some more promotional photos as well as two production videos on IGTamil‘s Youtube channel late last month. Most of the footage is not in English, with exception of a little bit from Bhanu himself, along with some from Priyadarshini, director Vemuganti and another young actor. Check it out:
Stay tuned for further details on casting, trailers and more.
