Popular legendary director Rajendra Singh Babu is all set to make a comeback with film direction. The star director, who is known for making classic films in past, is lying low these days as his last few directorials haven’t done well. He will be directing a film on music composer P Kalinga Rao. The film will be produced by Rockline Venkatesh.
Rockline Venkatesh, who is known for his remakes films in Kannada, is turning towards making original films as his last few films have failed badly. He will also be producing a film with Puneeth Rajkumar as well another film with Radhika Pandit. Both these films are original.
Meanwhile, the biopic has been titled “Kannadabharana Kalinga Rao”. The film is in the pre-production stages. The team is planning to rope in newcomers for the title role. Babu was inspired by a book he read on Kalinga Rao and felt there are great incidents in his life that need to be brought to light, along with the evergreen songs Kalinga composed. The music director had worked with Babu’s father in 1948 and 1949.
