Tamil actor Yogi Babu is looking forward to star in movies made in other film industries. Reports are that the actor travelled to Bengaluru recently to meet some of the top stars there. Pictures of him with Shiva Rajkumar, Puneeth Rajkumar and Duniya Vijay have been doing rounds on the internet confirming the buzz.
According to latest reports, Yogi Babu has bagged a role in the upcoming Shiva Rajkumar starrer Bhajarangi 2. The shooting of this film, which is in the last leg, commenced on August 16th and will go on for 12 days. The shooting is currently happening at the Mohan B Kere Studio in Bengaluru.
Director Harsha is wielding the megaphone for Bhajarangi 2, which has raised the expectation levels as the duo are teaming up for the third time. On choosing the title, the director had reportedly said that it will have no connection with Bhajarangi but he chose the title because his team liked it. Therefore, the filmmaker has made it clear that Bhajarangi 2 will be a completely different story. The film will have Bhavana sharing the screen space with Shiva Rajkumar. The technical crew of Bhajarangi 2 will comprises Arjun Janya for music composition, J Swamy to handle the camera and Deepu S Kumar for editing.
It was reported around late last year that the shooting of Bhajarangi 2 would be completed within a couple of months so that it could hit the marquee in April this year. The filmmakers in fact eyed a summer release but the plans had to be put on hold due to the coronavirus outbreak in March.
