The Kannada movie “Lungi” is getting a lot of attention from across the Sandalwood industry due to the newly-released trailer. “Simple Star” Rakshit Shetty’s endorsement of the film has also done wonders for the yet-to-be-released film made by a group of youngsters.

The “Kirik Party” actor, who is known for encouraging new talents within the industry, said that he watched the film and “loved it to the core”.

Responding to Shetty’s compliment, the movie’s director, Arjun Lewis said, “We were very confident about the film that we made. But, the only part that scared us was the release. When we approached the producer, we said that we will provide the first copy and had no idea of actually releasing the film.”

“In today’s day and age, releasing a film is a much bigger task than making a film. You need the right people and we got lucky with Jayanna, who is a popular film distributor,” he added.

“Lungi” Producer Mukesh Hegde, who is a family-friend of Rakshit Shetty, said, “Rakshit’s elder brother Ranjith watched the movie and loved it. That is why he made Rakshit watch our film. Rakshit was very happy with the film and wanted to release it under his banner. However, since he was busy with his dream project ‘Avane Srimannarayana’, he referred us to Jayanna. We are grateful to Rakshit as we have a big platform now, in order to reach audiences across the state.”

Produced by Khara Entertainment and directed by Arjun Lewis and Akshith Shetty, the film will be releasing on October 11 across Karnataka. The movie features music by Prasad K Shetty, cinematography by Rijo P John, editing by Manu Shedgarr, art direction by Mahesh Yenmuru and co-direction by Rakshith Rai.

Pranva Hegde plays the lead role of the film while Ahalya Suresh and Radhika Rao feature as the female leads. Prakash Thuminadu, VJ Vineeth, Karthik Varadaraju, Deepak Rai Panaje and Roopa Vorkady play pivotal characters in the film.
