Bhool Gaya Sab Kuch Yaad Nahi Ab Kuch…. Ho Ho Yek Yadhi Baath Na Bhooli….. JULIE…., here is Kannada 'Julie' for audience that is going on the floors at Karwar from 11th November. The charming actress the elegant queen of Kannada cinema RAMYA is playing the title role with Dino Morea as her counterpart. 

Debutant director Poornima Mohan who hails from the prestigious production house of KCN Movies in Karnataka is very confident of her maiden direction. She was associated with television serial 'Americadalli Gorur' actively. Instead of suggesting changes for directors why I cannot direct a movie I thought sometime back said Poornima. The result is 'Julie' Kannada version. From the Hindi version we are not making any changes in the story but narration style, takings and music will be different. The same Anglo Indian style is maintained here. We will retain the flavour of two lovely songs - Bhool Gaya Sab Kuch…., and Dil Kya Kare…… and adding some more tunes. Rajesh Ramanathan is scoring the music. The entire shooting will be held in Karwar from 11th of November at a stretch for 30 days. We have plans to release the film in January next disclosed Poornima. From the house of KCN Movies we are taking up 'Madakarinayaka' based on B.L.Venu novel said the intelligent lady Poornima. Compared to the film 'Vijayadashami' this is poles apart she says with a smile. When asked whether she is interested in acting she just laughed at the question. Interested in doing women oriented films Poornima said actres Ramya is the main encouraging factor for her to take up this film 'Julie'. 
M.S.Ramesh is writing the dialogues. Chitra Shenoy, Ashita, Ashalatha, Ananthavelu are also in the cast. 

This is 'Ramya Loka' time. Ramya has a series of films in queue (Datta, Julie, Thananam Thananam, Sevanthi Sevanthi, then in April 2006 Yogish is producing and directing a film that will be completely shot in London) and she is on the cloud nine situation. When Poornima called up to take the dates of Ramya she was in Mumbai. She liked the passionate attitude of Poornima and gave the nod to play the role of what Lakshmi had done in Malayalam 'Chattakari' and Hindi 'Julie'. 

Bold and dashing Ramya wants the bed room song Bhool Gaya Sab Kuch in the same romantic style and feels it has to be sensuous looking on the screen. That particular song gives a change over. I have liked two main aspects in this film. The responsibility of mine is to change the society to some extent. At least 10 girls pick up the message then it is good says Ramya. The need to be careful and it is wrong to go for abortion are the main aspects I liked. I really had 10 sittings from the time Poornima called me up to do this film said Ramya. 

DINO CONFUSED - the Bangalore born Dino Morea was confused when Poornima contacted him over telephone and said Ramya will be playing his counterpart in 'Julie'. He was under the impression Ramya Krishna is doing it. He said no to the offer. When the confusion was sorted out and told about Ramya's standing in the Kannada filmdom he agreed said Poornima. 
Dino Morea staying in Mumbai with handful of offers is anxiously looking for the release of Pooja Bhat direction's 'Holiday'. He has done another role in 'Saturday Night' on the lines of Travolta. He has to his credit Dipak Tijori's 'Tom Dick Harry', No Entry, Plan and others to his credit. He is running an eatery 'Crepe station' with his brother and has plans to start a night club. Working hard and earning good is what Dino Morea right now. He has quit his partnership with his wife Nanditha Mahtani. 

Dino is a good looking guy it is nice to do a romantic role with such a hero Ramya admitted in the press meet at KCN Bhavan House in Bangalore.
