Aadi Saikumar Signs His Costliest Film Yet, a Divine Mystery Thriller

Aadi Saikumar has signed a divine mystery thriller, and it carries the biggest budget of his career so far. The announcement follows the strong run of his hit Shambhala.

Navarrasan writes and directs the film. Prashanth G Rudrappa is producing it under Trishul Entertainments as the banner's third production, and B Ajaneesh Loknath will compose the music.

There is no title yet, only a poster. At its centre, a cobra wraps itself around a trident with its hood flared wide. Behind it sits what looks like an old ritual spot deep in a forest, with bells, gnarled branches and lit oil lamps, while weapons are laid out around the trident.

The makers are keeping everything else under wraps for now. The title, the rest of the cast, the technical crew and the first look will start coming out from October 20, when the team has promised its next update on the occasion of Dasara.

Rudrappa is aiming for a pan India release. The film is planned in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi.
