Pogaru: Song set for Dhruva Sarja’s song to be built at cost of Rs 1.5 crore

Pogaru was scheduled for release on April 24, but with the lockdown due to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, it was postponed. The latest reports say that the makers of the film will be erecting a grand set at HMT in Bengaluru for shooting a song sequence. Sources say that the set will cost the makers close to Rs 1.5 crore, making it one of the most expensive in Sandalwood in recent times.

Apparently, the sets are for the song Pogaru Annaige Pogaru, the title track that will feature the film’s lead star Dhruva Sarja along with a group of dancers. The song, which will be shot in a six-day schedule, will be choreographed by Murali master. 

Incidentally, the Karabuu song in Pogaru released earlier this year was a chartbuster and expectations are now high on the title track. ‘Karabuu’ was written and composed by singer Chandan Shetty. The foot-tapping number featuring Dhruva and heroine Rashmika Mandanna went viral and has upped the expectation levels for Pogaru. 

Pogaru is directed by Nanda Kishore and has two heroines – Shanvi Srivastava and Rashmika Mandanna – with Dhananjay, P Ravishankar, Sadhu Kokila, Chikkanna, and Kuri Pratap roped in for supporting roles. The technical crew of this film includes Chandan Shetty for music and Vijay Milton for cinematography. Pogaru is bankrolled by BK Gangadhar under his banner.
