16th April 2009 - 1:00pm

After a small time role in 'Taj Mahal', actor Ashok has got a big break as a hero in a new film called 'Oscar'. The film is being directed by Pune film institute graduate Krishna, while Shivu Belawadi is the producer. The film was launched on Thursday at the Kanteerava studios..

Krishna says, the film is a super-natural romantic love story and has nothing to do with the 'Oscar' awards. 'This title has nothing to do with the Oscar awards. Yet the title is very much significant as this film revolves around a book called Oscar. The hero of the film is a writer and the hero writes a book called Oscar. I can't reveal much more apart from this' says the director.

Krishna is a graduate from the Pune film institute. He had made a short film with the same story long back. This is his first feature film as a independant director after working for films like 'Kodagana Koli Nungitha' and 'Shishya' as an associate director.

Ashok said he was overhelmed by the support he got during 'Taj Mahal' and will live upto everybody's expectations through this film. Priyanka Bulgannavar of 'Marujanma' fame and Priyanka of 'Kabbadi' are playing the heroines in this film. Narayanaswamy is the villain.

The film will be shot in a single schedule in places like Bangalore, Mysore, Madikeri and Mangalore. Naveen Suvarna is in charge of Camera and Abhiman is the music director.
