Rakshit Shetty is using the lockdown to complete the script for “Punyakoti”. He was shooting for director Kiranraj’s debut “777 Charlie”, when the lockdown was enforced across the country.
“Punyakoti” is Rakshit’s most ambitious film, which he himself will be directing. This will be his second directorial after “Ulidavaru Kandanthe”.
Rakshit has cracked the plot of the film and is now writing the screenplay. He has completed more than 50 per cent and is sure of completing the remaining in the next few days. The film will star Rakshit in the lead along with two other actors. It will be based on history and will be made on a huge budget.
Meanwhile, Rakshit has also taken up Hemanth M Rao’s next, “Sapta Sagaradaache Yello”. The filming was supposed to start in June, be shot in one schedule and releases in December 2020. But due to the Covid crisis, it is doubtful that the film will be shot as planned.
