Ravi Basrur’s Girmit, presented by Puneeth Rajkumar, seems to be creating the right kind of buzz. “Yash and Radhika Pandit lend their voices for the lead pair, while the other characters have names like Rangayana Raghu, Achyuth Kumar and Sudha Belawadi dubbing for them. So, this will be a proper commercial drama like Masterpiece or Anjaniputhra, but will have children playing all the roles,” says Ravi, who adds that Puneeth Rajkumar has even sung one of the songs in the film.
The film, produced by N S Rajkumar, is an effort by Ravi Basrur and team. The film comprises approximately 280 child artistes. Girmit, also releasing as Pakka Mass in Hindi and Telugu and Podi Mass in Tamil and Malayalam, will see actors from different regions lending their voices for the various characters. “It is in the process and we are yet to finalise the list,” the director says.
