Actor Sharan’s Rambo was a big hit way back in 2012 and the star is looking to regain his star status with Rambo 2. Interestingly, Rambo was Sharan’s 100th film and it was his debut as hero. Being a comedy film, it tasted immense success at the box office.
Directed by Anil Kumar, Rambo 2 is scheduled to hit the silver screens in February. Sharan, apart from playing the lead role, is also producing this film under his banner along with music composer Arjun Janya, cameraman Sudhakar Raj and editor K M Prakash. Ashika will be seen playing the female lead with Chikkanna in a pivotal role.
Speaking about it, one of the film’s producers Tarun Sudhir told The New Indian Express that though the film has been titled Rambo 2, it is not a sequel to Rambo. He reportedly told, “Like in Rambo, a car plays a very major character in Rambo 2, and that’s one of the reasons we went with the title that was quite apt to the story’s theme.”
The film's audio teaser and soundtrack have been released already which has upped the expectation levels for it. Rambo 2 is currently in the post-production mode and its makers are planning to release it next month. However, the exact date of its release is yet to be revealed.
Rambo that released in September 2012 was directed by MS Sreenath. It was produced jointly by Atlanta Nagendra and Sharan. While Sharan had played the lead role in the movie, it also starred Madhuri Itagi, Sadhu Kokila and Rangayana Raghu in crucial roles. Arjun Janya has composed music for this venture with Krishna cranking the camera and editor KM Prakash editing it.
