Charming Star Sharwa’s period action drama Bhogi is moving towards the final leg of production, with almost the entire shoot now completed.
Directed by Sampath Nandi and produced by K K Radhamohan under the Sri Sathya Sai Arts banner, the film is being mounted on a large scale and requires extensive technical work.
On the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, the makers unveiled a brand-new poster that beautifully captures the emotional and cultural flavour of the festival. The poster shows Sharwa sitting with his sisters in an idyllic village setting.
Piles of palm fruits are seen in the foreground, while a mud house, wooden fencing, household vessels and surrounding greenery recreate the atmosphere of a bygone rural era.
Sharwa will be seen in a powerful and completely distinctive avatar as Ganga. Anupama Parameswaran and Dimple Hayathi play the female leads.
While the production has progressed significantly, the post-production work is taking longer than initially expected due to the film’s elaborate visual effects requirements.
Set in the early 1960s, Bhogi creates a period world that demands substantial VFX integration. The film is also said to feature several high-elevation sequences that require extensive CG work.
The makers are therefore choosing quality over speed and are in no hurry to rush the remaining post-production work.
