Radhika Pandit in <i>Drama</i>

Actress Radhika Pandit has replaced Bhama in well known writer and director Yogaraj Bhat directed Drama

The movie will be launched on February 20. The film is being produced by Jayanna who had earlier produced Johny Mera Naam and Paramaathma.

He is now making Janoo starring Yash and Deepa Sannidhi, and directed by Preetham Gubbi. The shooting of the movie has already been completed.

Yogaraj Bhat had earlier selected Yash, Bhama, Neenasam Sathish and Pragna in lead roles. But the shooting had to be postponed because of the pre production work of the film. Bhama was trying to adjust her dates when there was some changes in the script which called for a new heroine.

After considering many alternatives, Bhat finally opted to cast Radhika Pandit. She has earlier worked with Yash in Shashank directed Moggina Manasu which won her many prestigious awards. This is the first time she is working with director Yogaraj Bhat, cameraman S.Krishna and producer Jayanna.

An excited Radhika Pandit said that she is happy to get an offer to work with a director like Yogaraj Bhat. "I missed out earlier opportunities because of date problems. This offer was a bonus", said an elated Radhika Pandit who is now shooting for a romantic song sequence of the film Breaking News directed by Nagathihalli Chandrashekhar.

"I will complete all my assignments before February 20 when I may have to participate in the shooting of Drama," said Radhika Pandit.
