India, Aug. 30 -- It was in February 2024 that Govindaya Namaha and Googly fame director Pavan Wadeyar announced his intention to collaborate with Hattrick Hero Shivarajkumar. At the time, Shivarajkumar was still busy with his home production Bhairathi Ranagal and the upcoming Arjun Janya directorial 45, so there was no start date in sight for his film with Pavan. The filmmaker, though, had said that they would not go on floors until 2025 at least.
