The highly anticipated Kannada movie Billa Rangabaasha is inching towards a fresh schedule, and the team will resume shooting from next week. The fantasy entertainer has gained a lot of interest from the Kannada film audience and requires big sets to bring its imaginary world to life.
The latest update indicates that the production will be schedule-based and there will be some gaps between shooting schedules. The reason is the huge construction work that is required for the film’s large sets.
Massive sets for a fantasy world
Unlike most contemporary films that can largely rely on the world around them, Billa Rangabaasha is set in a fantasy world. There are a lot of details and very detailed production design, great sets to be built, and a lot of preparation before the cameras start rolling.
The makers are therefore building large-scale sets for the film. Given the time taken to build and design these sets, the production team must have planned shooting schedules around this construction process.
Next week’s schedule will be our next move, so in this aspect we are moving toward the next phase of the development of the highly anticipated project. The magnitude of the production has also created the buzz of fans who can’t wait to see how the fantasy world will fit into the big screen.
Anup to Direct a Quickie during the Gap
Interestingly, the gaps between the Billa Rangabaasha schedules will not mean that director Anup will stay away from filmmaking. Anup will direct a quick project during the time required for the large sets to be constructed.
The film will have Nirup and Srinidhi Shetty as the lead actors. It is a “quickie” and should be completed during the break between the Billa Rangabaasha schedules.
This arrangement allows Anup to continue working creatively in the studio while the production team is on a job making the elaborate sets for his fantasy film. It also gives audiences another good project to watch from the filmmaker.
Double Treat for Kannada Cinema fans
For fans of Anup’s work, the update is especially exciting because it connects two different projects. While Billa Rangabaasha promises a large-scale fantasy experience, the quickie starring Nirup and Srinidhi Shetty is expected to be a comparatively small production.
Srinidhi Shetty, who has become a popular name in South Indian films, as well as Nirup, are also in the project. Details about the title, storyline, shooting schedule and release plans of the quickie will come out later.
Thus, Billa Rangabaasha’s prospects are only growing more and more as production goes on. The investment in big sets, of course, is a sign of the scale and ambition of the fantasy project.
While the next shooting schedule will start next week and the film is on the way in the background, the film is moving ahead. There are gaps in the production schedule that may add to the timeline, but those are also a consequence of the great work put into developing the fantasy world that the film is set in.
For Kannada movie lovers, the coming months could therefore bring updates from both sides - the grand-scale Billa Rangabaasha and Anup’s quick project with Nirup and Srinidhi Shetty.
