August 23, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Producers Raghavendra Raj Kumar and Puneeth Raj Kumar are very happy about shooting their latest project ‘Jackie’ in Namibia. ‘Jackie’ has joined the list of select Indian movies like Ghajini, Ayyan and Dhoom to be shot in the African Nation. The siblings seemed to be in a jovial mood as they have wrapped up the shooting sequences in Namibia, but their shoot in Austria got disturbed because of heavy rainfalls, so they have been resting in a deluxe Austrian hotel for last three days.
The cast and crew had been sitting idle for 3 days because of the heavy rainfall in Austria. The production has already spent more than INR 40 lakhs of the budget without canning a single shot. The siblings said shooting in Namibia was a tough call but they managed to jump over all the hurdles.
The Producers said that South Italy posed another challenge as the journey to the location took nine hours. The shooting for ‘Jackie’ was also held up in Bangalore, Mysore, Somwarpet and Kushalnagar due to unforeseen events.
According to the brothers, the storyline of the movie is very hard to explain since a bit of experimentation has gone into the movie. Puneeth plays the role of Janakiran in ‘Jackie’ and his character plays cards too. This movie is expected to set the box office on fire.
