• Love Story of Jaggesh to Become a Movie

  Most of us by now know that Jaggesh too had a love story where he married Parimala. But here's the deal! Jaggesh is all set to make a biopic of his love story where his role will be enacted by his younger son Yatiraj for which he has written the story and screenplay. Jaggesh and Parimala fell in love when they were 19 and 14 respectively, which had caused a furore and had even attracted the court's intervention in resolving the issue. Saying the movie would be a total entertainer, Jaggesh promises loads of chuckles all the way but a serious climax, with a social message in the end. The story is based on the premise that when teenagers love each other, they don't hesitate to go to any extent to marry, even at the cost of losing familial ties. Such situations put even the judges in confusion as whom to justify. Parents still offer the girl to come home in case of the relationship failing, which is essentially the characteristic of any parents caring for their child. Despite familial pressures, the girl manages to convince the judge and her parents and marries her love, forms the crux of the story. News and Image Courtesy: Vijaya Karnataka
