ರವಿಚಂದ್ರನ್ ಇದುವರೆಗೆ ಪೌರಾಣಿಕ ಚಿತ್ರಗಳನ್ನು ಮಾಡಿಯೇ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಇಂತಹ ರವಿಚಂದ್ರನ್, ಪೌರಾಣಿಕ ಚಿತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿನ ಪಾತ್ರವನ್ನು ಬಹಳ ಸೀರಿಯಸ್ ಆಗಿ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಡೈಲಾಗ್​​ಗಳನ್ನು ತರಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು ಅಭ್ಯಾಸ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಈಗಾಗಲೇ ಚಿತ್ರದ ಶೂಟಿಂಗ್ ಶುರುವಾಗಿದ್ದು, ಆಗಸ್ಟ್ 28ಕ್ಕೆ ರವಿಚಂದ್ರನ್ ರಾಮೋಜಿ ಫಿಲ್ಮ್ ಸಿಟಿ ಪ್ರವೇಶಿಸಲಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ಈ ಮೊದಲು ನಟಿ ರೆಜಿನಾ ಕ್ಯಾಸಂಡ್ರಾ ಭಾನುಮತಿ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಲಾಗಿತ್ತು. ರೆಜಿನಾ ಕೂಡಾ ಈ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಹೇಳಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದರು. ಆದರೆ, ಭಾನುಮತಿಯ ಪಾತ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ಇನ್ನೂ ಪಾತ್ರಧಾರಿ ಅಂತಿಮವಾಗಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ದರ್ಶನ್ ಕೂಡಾ ಹೇಳಿದ್ದರು. ಈಗ ಭಾನುಮತಿಯ ಪಾತ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ರಮ್ಯಾ ನಂಬೀಸನ್ ಆಯ್ಕೆಯಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ಕುರುಕ್ಷೇತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ಕುಂತಿ ಲಕ್ಷ್ಮಿ ಅಲ್ಲ, ಭಾರತಿ..!

Millions of Challenging Star Darshan fans who were glued to their facebook, awaiting for their favourite actor, whom they refer to as 'd Boss' for his open challenge to another celebrity, have been stumped with a humble request.

Darshan, in a short live video, has requested his fans, whom he refers to as real 'celebrities', to not involve in any fights over the recent developments with regard to Kurukshetra film and has urged them to support the film.

"For me my fans are the biggest celebrities. Making a film like Kurukshetra is a challenge of its own kind, and stalwarts such as Appaji (Ambareesh), Ravi sir, Arjun Sarja, Srinivas Murthy uncle, Nikhil and many more have acted in this one. I request none of you to fight over photos of an actor or cutout missing in the film publicity. I urge all of you to see it along with family the movie and the iconic mythological characters, and this is my challenge to each of you without getting into any other aspects," Darshan signs off.

Darshan's 50th film 'Kurukshetra' is scheduled for a release on the 09th of August. Meanwhile, another teaser of the film was released on Monday evening in the Lahari channel of You Tube.

This is the third teaser of the film and earlier two teasers featuring Darshan and Nikhil were released. Now the third teaser of the film has been released. The trailer and songs of the film will be released in the coming months.

Two big films including Shivarajakumar's 'Rustom' and Upendra's 'I Love You' is all set to release on the 14th of June. After that, Sudeep starrer 'Phailwan', Rakshith Shetty starrer 'Avane Srimannarayana' and Darshan starrer 'Kurukshetra' is said to release on the 09th of August. With so many big films releasing on the same day, can the Kannada film industry sustain such a big clash is the question on everybody's lips.

With big budget or high profile films releasing on the same day, there are many problems concerning the film industry. One of the main problem is the availability of theaters. As there will be huge hype on all the big releases, audience will also be confused about seeing which film first and which next. If a film gets not such a good report in the first show then it would be dangerous for the film because film buffs who want to watch the film later may completely avoid the film. These problems may effect not one, but all the three films.

To avoid all these complications, many producers have postponed their films and waited for smooth release. This time also, industry bigwigs are working out to avoid the clash of big films at the box-office particularly on the 09th of August. Among the three, the release date of 'Phailwan' was announced first, followed by 'Avane Srimannarayana' and 'Kurukshetra'. It has to been seen in the coming days, whether one or two three films avoid competition and settle for a later or earlier date or all the three films release on the same day.

It is a strange co-incidence. On August 20, 2001, producer Muniratna was a chief guest at the launch of the film Majestic. It was the first time Darshan had been cast in the lead role. The film went on to establish Darshan as a lead actor in Sandalwood and his illustrious career was launched. Not many know that Muniratna held the clap board for the muharat shot of that film. Later Darshan acted in one of the films of Muniratna along with Upendra. The film was Anatharu. 

Now Darshan's 50th film as hero is being launched in two days. The film Kurukshetra is said to be the biggest budget film in Kannada. The coincidence is that Muniratna is the producer of this film. The connection between the producer and the hero has remained for the last 17 years through 50 films!

The songs of Darshan starrer 'Kurukshetra' is all said to be released on the 7th of July in Bangalore. Meanwhile, the first lyrical video of the film was released by the team in the You Tube channel of Lahari. 

The song called 'Saahore Saaho' is sung by well known singer Vijay Prakash and the is picturised on Darshan who has played the role of mighty Kaurava king Duryodhana. The song is written by V Nagendra Prasad and V Harikrishna has composed the music for the song.

'Kurukshetra' is based on Mahabharatha and is directed by senior director Naganna. The film stars Darshan, Arjun Sarja, Ravichandran, Ambarish, Nikhil Kumar, Shashikumar, Sonu Sood, Haripriya, Meghana Raj and others in prominent roles.

The shooting for Darshan's Kurukshetra is going on at  a very brisk pace in Hyderabad's Ramoji Studio. Sources say that the speed of shooting has surprised everyone. Some top actors from across India are participating in the shooting.

Apart from Darshan playing the role of Duryodhana there are other actors including Ambareesh, Arjun Sarja, Sonu Sood and others who are in Hyderabad shooting for the 50th film of Darshan which is being made on a very big scale.

But what are the actors doing when there is no shooting. Some of the Kannada actors like Chetan and Yashas are giving a glimpse into it. Most of the actors are spending most of their spare time in the gym! The film gets together some of the fittest actors who can stand up to anyone when it comes to having a fit and trim body.

So no wonder that many of them are found in the gym rather than in any recreation area after shooting hours. 

Actress Haripriya has been confirmed for a prominent role in the multi-starrer 'Kurukshetra', which is being produced by Karnataka Film Producers Association president and well known producer Muniratra.

'Kurukshetra' is based on the Mahabharatha and Muniratna plans to assemble an ensemble cast for this film. Right now Darshan will be playing the role of Duryodhana, while Ravichandran is seen in the role of Krishna in this film. Apart from that the star cast and technicians is yet to be finalized.

Senior director Naganna who had directed 'Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna' is directing the film. The film will be launched in July end or August first week and will be released in February next year.

Vivek Oberoi in Kurukshetra Say Reports

Kurukshetra To Be Launched On July 23rd

Two films of the same actor getting released on the same date is not a big news. But two films of a director releasing on the same day is a big news and the director who is achieving such a feat is none other than senior director Naganna.

Two of Naganna's films are getting released on the 09th of August. The first among the two is Darshan starrer 'Kurukshetra'. Apart from that, his other flick 'Gimmick' which stars Ganesh is all set to release on the same day. While, 'Kurukshetra' is a mythological film, 'Gimmick' is of horror genre.

'Kurukshetra' was scheduled for August 02nd. So, the team of 'Gimmick' planned to release the film on the 09th of August. Due to various reasons, 'Kurukshetra' was postponed to 09th. With both the films releasing on the same day, Naganna surely has achieved a rare feat.

Actor Ambarish is reprising the role of Bheeshma in Darshan's 50th film 'Kurukshetra'. The actor says it takes just 12 minutes for his make-up in the film.

Ambarish himself disclosed that he needs just 12 minutes for the make-up. 'I have to wear a big wig and a beard which covers most of my face. So, it just takes 12 minutes for the make-up. In fact, I was joking to Muniratna, that he himself can do the role' says Ambarish.

'Kurukshetra' is based on the Mahabharatha and Darshan will be playing the role of Duryodhana, while Ravichandran is seen in the role of Krishna in this film. Apart from that Nikhil Kumar, Shashikumar, Sonu Sood, Ravishankar, Srinath, Haripriya and others are playing prominent roles in the film. The film is being produced by Muniratra. Senior director Naganna who had directed 'Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna' is directing the film.

Crazy Star Ravichandran has stopped eating meat for the last three months. Coincidentally he will be playing the role of Lord Krishna in the Naganna directed Kurukshetra. In this Darshan's 50th film, Darshan is playing Duryodhana and the casting for the rest of the roles is underway.

Ravichandran was one of the first stars to accept to play in the film. His role is that of Krishna. But Ravichandran quitting eating meat has nothing to do with the role. He had quit it for two months for health reasons before the role was offered to him. So he decided to continue not eating meat till he completed the film.

Ravichandran has never acted in a historical or a mythological film before and this will be his first such attempt. He has also never shaved his mustache for a film in his entire career. Actors like Ambareesh, Ramesh Aravind and Upendra have shaved their moustaches for films but never Ravichandran. For the role of Krishna he will shave his moustache and he has agreed to it.
