Dhruva Sarja catches B-town writers’eye

Raghavendra Hegde, director of Jaggu Dada, is keen to work with the Bharjari hero and is getting a script written by Shagufta Rafique; Shiraz Ahmed, who scripted Race 2, is also working on a story for actor

Dhurva Sarja broke a few records with his third movie Bharjari, helmed by Chethan Kumar, which is now headed for a 50-day run in theatres. The actor, who impressed the industry and audiences, with three back-to-back hits has caught the attention of Bollywood writers.

Writer Shiraz Ahmed, who has written the story for Race 2, is scripting one for Dhruva. It is being worked on after the actor liked the one-liner. The narration will be done after the script is done and the actor, we hear, is looking forward to hear from them.

Meanwhile, Raghavendra Hegde, who helmed Darshan’s Jaggu Dada, has shown interest in working on another project with the actor. The director is getting a script written by Shagufta Rafique, who penned stories for hit films such as Murder, Ashiqui 2.

Our source tells us, “Dhurva has asked Raghavendra to come up with a good script. It is likely to a futuristic love story, which also talks about the Moon Rover. The writing is nearly done and the narration will be given to the actor in November. If everything goes well, Raghavendra will be back to helm his second film in Kannada.” The director is currently busy with the small screen, completing a few episodes of the new serial Shani, which is just aired on Colors.

It is a known that Dhruva is now choosy about his projects. In fact, producer Uday Mehta, who will be working with the actor after Pogaru, is still looking for a director. Will these Bollywood writers impress the actor with their unique stories?

Meanwhile, Dhruva is waiting to celebrate Bharjari’s half century and is gearing up for Pogaru directed by Nanda Kishore. The actor is being trained with the dialogues and for the fights, before the shooting begins.
