Actor Ramesh Aravind will reprise his role in this sequel to Kannada film ‘Shivaji Surathkal Ranagiri Rahasya’
The poster of Kannada film Shivaji Surathkal Maayavi, the sequel to 2020’s Shivaji Surathkal Ranagiri Rahasya was released on September 10. Ramesh Aravind reprises his role as Shivaji Surathkal as does Radhika Narayan. Akash Srivatsa, who returns as director, says the film can be looked at as a stand-alone film or a sequel. Shivaji Surathkal, according to Akash, is the Sherlock Holmes of Karnataka. “He works with the IPS and is an intellectual. He has the knack of recreating murder scenes and solving the toughest of crimes.” Akash says he and Ramesh joined hands for these projects as they are huge fans of Sherlock Holmes. “When we would discuss the great detective, we felt that he came across as cold; there was always an emotional disconnect between him and the people he interacted with. That is how we came up with the character of Shivaji. We thought, what if we create a detective with a brain like Sherlock, but who was extremely emotional too? Shivaji is an Indianised, emotional Sherlock Holmes.”More Related News
