Adhyaksha, a 2014 Kannada movie starring Sharan, gave him a strong foundation as a lead hero and significantly helped Chikkanna, who played a vital supporting part. Now, Chikkanna is all geared up to play the lead hero in Upadhyaksha and is paired opposite debutante Malaika.
Chikkanna is known for his comedic timing and he will be among the few list of comic actors from different film industries who have graduated to play lead roles like Vadivelu and Sunil.
The shooting of Upadhyaksha started back at the end of 2021 and took almost a year to complete. In December last year, the makers had stated that the shooting for Upadhyaksha was complete and were planning to release it in February this year. However, that failed to happen for reasons unknown and the movie’s release was postponed indefinitely.
The post-production phase took more time than expected but finally, Chikkanna fans can rest as the teaser of Upadhyaksha is going to be released soon. The production team of the film have stated that the teaser of the film will be unveiled on October 21 at 6:05 p.m.
Last year, in an interview with ETimes, Chkikanna said that he was extremely happy to have been able to play a lead role in his career and thanked the producer and director Chandra Mohan for trusting him and giving him the chance.
The movie was written and shot with Chikkanna’s comedy talent and family values in mind. The actor reportedly portrays the part of Narayana, a villager who lives life on his terms.
Chandra Mohan is the director of Upadhyaksha, which is produced by Smitha Umapathi and Nirmala Srinivasa. The film’s crew staged a muhurat ceremony in June 20222 at Bengaluru’s well-known Sri Banashankari Temple. The Muhurat function was also attended by Chikkanna’s mother and producer Smitha Umapathi.
