Puri Jagannadh has a decent track record in launching star kids. He first introduced Kannada star hero Puneet Rajkumar in Appu (Kannada original of Idiot) and Ram Charan in Chirutha. Both the stars kids are now leading heroes in Kannada and Telugu film industries.
Now, Puri is all set to begin Rogue launching Ishan, nephew of noted Kannada producer and Puri’s close friend CR Manohar. For this film, the makers said to have been shelling out a whopping 50 crores, with Puri’s remuneration alone touching the 15 crore mark.
This love cum action entertainer will be a Telugu-Kannada bilingual and hence Puri’s skyhigh remuneration is justifiable. But one should appreciate the guts of the producers for investing so high on a debutant’s film. Apparently, the entire shooting will be taking place in Puri’s favorite city, Bangkok.
Sultry bombshells Amyra Dastur and Angela Krislinzki will be romancing Ishan in Rogue.
