Ramana Avatara is actor Rishi’s first theatrical release since 2019’s Sarvajanikarige Suvarnavakasha. His Nodi Swamy Ivanu Irode Heege went straight to OTT and his other big screen appearances were only cameos. The film by Vikas Pampapathi is likely to be in theatres in August or September, in the run-up to which the team has been releasing glimpses in the form of songs and a teaser. The first song, Rama is a Gentleman, which featured Rishi with Shrubra Aiyappa, was well received and became a hot favourite for reels and now, the team has dropped the second.

A lyrical video of the song Manasu Bereya Dikkali Saagalu came out earlier today. What’s special about the song, beside the music by Judah Sandhy and Sanjith Hegde’s vocals, is the fact that filmmaker Simple Suni, who launched Rishi as a leading man in Operation Alamelamma, has written the lyrics. The song has Rishi and Pranitha Subhash and has been shot in the coastal town of Udupi. The highlight, of course, is the cute chemistry between the lead pair.

In the comedy, Rishi plays Rama, who believes that doing good for society comes from working for its development not by migrating, but by staying back and being on ground. Rama, Rishi had said, wants to be a local political leader, in the course of which a series of uncontrollable situations occur, and end up teaching him lessons of life and how to become a true leader. The film, produced by Amrej Suryavanshi, also stars Arun Sagar in a pivotal role.

Meanwhile, in an earlier interview with the media, Rishi had addressed the issue of audiences not coming to theatres and expressed what he thought filmmakers had to do to rectify this. “When I tell people that I have made an entertainer and would like them to come to theatres, I have to make sure that I live up to that promise. Tomorrow, if it is a thriller, I have to see if I can do justice to what the genre deserves and if the story has the strength to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. These are the kind of questions that go through my head now. We have to put in our best efforts to ensure that we give audiences exactly what we’ve promised,” he was quoted as saying.
