Making New Movies A Waste Without Theatres Opening Up: Challenging Star Darshan

Challenging Star Darshan has been away from the public glare ever since the coronavirus lockdown. The Sandalwood actor recently revealed his career plans to a leading Kannada daily. Right now, all my focus is on Rajaveera Madakarinayaka. I will think about other movies later, says Darshan. There was news that D Boss aka Darshan will be next seen in a SV Rajendra Singh Babu which will have a jungle backdrop.

Reacting to the talks about the movie, Darshan wonders how such talks surface and says that he will resume shooting for Rajaveera Madakarinayaka after the lockdown rules ease and the situation betters. After that he has a Milan Prakash movie lined up followed by Shailaja Nag. So Darshan will talk about his other projects only after the completion of these three movies, he says.

He says that Rajendra Singh Babu had discussed the jungle project with him and he had told him he will see about that later so this sudden news of the movie has surprised him.

Talking about AP and Telangana closing its doors for shooting of movies, Darshan says the priority is for theatres to first open up. "If government rolls out a rule that theatres should run at half the capacity then what will happen to the collections? Without movies hitting theatres, we should not even be thinking of shooting movies. This is my personal opinion," says Darshan.

Isn't it a sensible thing to do? We think every film maker will readily agree to what Darshan said. Darshan's next Roberrt is set for theatrical release post lockdown.
