Get your low down on what's happening in the world of Kannada cinema, right here!

Newly wed Prakash Raj (he married to choreographer Pony Verma in Mumbai recently) plans to make his Kannada directorial movie Nannu Nanna Kanasu (Abhiyum Naanum In Tamil) in Hindi. He had also acted in the film.

The actor-turned-director announced this in Bangalore where he and his wife had gone to celebrate the successful run of the film (it crossed 125 days). 

While the cast is yet to be finalised, Prakash has opted only to direct the film which is based on a father-daugther relationship.

While in the Tamil, Telugu and Kannada versions the hero was of north Indian origin, in the Hindi film the hero will be a south Indian.

Bianca Desai, an actress trained in martial arts, has put behind the failure of her latest film Sanchari and is looking forward to her special appearance in Sudeep-Ramya starrer Kichcha Huchcha. 

She also features in a song in Indrajeeth Lankesh's Hudga Hudgi, which has created a buzz given the number of A-list heroines the hero Dhyan will be seen paired opposite.

The actress also has Coffee Shop, a Kannada film up for release. She is also acting opposite Arjun Sarja in a Hindi film. Bianca debuted in Rocky opposite Yash. She did another film opposite Prajwal Devraj titled Gulama.

Pooja Gandhi has been roped in to play a cameo in Shivarajkumar's 100th film Jogaiah. Sources say that she will be playing an advocate in the film and will be seen fighting a case in favour of Shivanna.

It is also being said that Arundhati Nag who played Shivanna's mother in the prequel Jogi, will also appear in a few scenes.

Meanwhile Prem has zeroed in on Sumit Kaur Atwal to play the leading lady. She has been into theatre and even acted in a Girish Karnad play before. Shooting is on in full swing in Mysore.
