Dhananjaya's gesture for close pal Nagabhushana

Dhananjaya had earlier said that he would produce a film for his good friend Nagabhushana at some point. So, when Tagaru Palya was announced, it was assumed it would be for Nagabhushana. This, however, was confirmed only closer to the muhurtha. 

Amrutha Prem to debut with Tagaru Palya

Tagaru Palya's leading lady is a star kid. Amrutha is actor Nenapirali Prem's daughter. 

Happy that Amrutha is debuting with a good banner: Prem

Prem, who heard the story of Tagaru Palya, was excited about its realistic subject. But the clincher, he says, was that Daali Dhananjaya was producing the film. That's why he thought Tagaru Palya would be good launchpad for his daughter.  

Film officially launched

Tagaru Palya had its official muhurtha this week. The film will go on floors shortly. 

Tagaru Palya: Rooted, rural story

Diirector Umesh has been quoted as saying that Tagaru Palya is a rural subject, revolving around a function, and villagers who cook food at the temple premises and offer it to the deity. 

Proud parents sound first clap

Prem and his wife Jyoti sounded the first clap of Tagaru Palya. Amrutha will play a village belle in the film; a role that director Umesh says has a lot of scope for performance.
