Though the film’s story or details regarding the plot are not revealed, it is being said that the film will focus on the origin saga of Panjurli, the much talked-about character in Kantara. Rishab Shetty has spent a lot of time on the pre-production and researched the subject before finalizing the script. The film’s major portions are being shot in Kundapur in a closely erected set. Recently, the film’s producer, Vijay Kirgandur of Hombale Films, spoke to the media after receiving national awards for Kantara and KGF.
