Kasaravalli directs for Reliance

'Saavari', a novel�by Amaresh Nugadoni, has been chosen to be the basis for Reliance Entertainment’s next movie in Kannada. National Award winner Girish Kasaravalli will be directing the film. In fact, Kasaravalli’s first choice was Yashwant Chittala’s novel 'Siddhartha' but since Chittala refused to give permission to make a film out of his novel, Kasaravalli was forced to look for another story.�After a thorough search, he found the novel 'Saavari'.

Now, the name 'Saavari' has already been registered by producer Sringara Kitty for his remake of the Telugu movie Gamyam. So Kasaravalli is left with no choice but to find another apt name for his film with Vyjayanth Biraadar in the lead, and Umashree and Pavithra Lokesh in supporting roles.

The film is expected to go on the floors on December 20th.
