Jatta Director B. M. Giriraj in Ooty

Dr Chamaram, the director of Ooty, spoke to Giriraj B. M., the director of Jatta, to play the role of a social activist in his movie that also stars Jugaari Avinash and Samyuktha Hornad in lead roles. Ooty is a story from the early 90s when the Kaveri river dispute marred the interstate relations between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The story is about a love relationship between the lead characters, both from either of the two states, and what struggles they undergo to keep their relationship alive despite the disputes. B. M. Giriraj, after hearing the storyline, expressed his liking for the concept and described it as different, which encouraged him to take part in the shoot and perform his assigned role with ease. 'Matha' director Guruprasad and Malayalam superstar Mohanlal are also in talks for guest roles.
