During the pandemic, Puneeth Rajkumar, impressed by the success of the natural history documentary, ‘Wild Karnataka’, collaborated with its co-director Amoghavarsha J.S. to shoot a documentary on marine life off Karnataka coast. He produced the film through his home banner, PRK Productions.
It includes extensive footage of Puneeth scuba diving and exploring life underwater in the Arabian Sea. “He wanted to promote the State’s biodiversity, forests, and natural habitat and the film was a dream for him,” said Amoghavarsha.
Puneeth was toying with the idea of naming the film ‘Gandhada Gudi’ or ‘Ondu Muttina Kathe’, both titles of popular films of thespian Dr. Rajkumar. “Decades ago, a story was born. A tribute to our people, our land, celebrated our forests and inspired a new generation. It’s time now for the legend to return,” he wrote on social media, introducing the film, days before he passed away on Friday.
