“Mercury”, a silent film will be released in Karnataka by Pushkar Films and Paramvah Studios. The film, which is all set to release on April 13, has been directed by popular Tamil director Karthik Subbaraj, who will be directing Rajinikanth’s next film.
“Pushpaka Vimana” can be called a classic among silent films, and it made an uproar back when it was released in 1987. The makers of “Mercury” are also hoping for the same. With no language barrier and a universally appealing storyline, the movie caught the attention of filmmakers Pushkar Mallikarjunaiah and Rakshit Shetty, who have decided to bring it to the Kannada moviegoers. They watched the film and were impressed with the content.
The film, produced by Dhaval Jayantilal Gada and Kaarthekeyan Santhaman, and distributed by Pen India, also features Sanath Reddy, Deepak Paramesh, Anish Padman, Remya Nambeesan and Indhuja. With Santhosh Narayan scoring the music, the movie has cinematography by Tirru.
