Darshan Thoogudeepa reveals the real star of Kateera

Darshan Thoogudeepa was recently all praises for his Kateera co-star Vaijanath Biradar. Darshan gave the full credit for how the film has shaped up to the ensemble cast of the film which also features sisters and actresses Radhana Ram and Shruthi. However, maximum credit for the final cut of the film was attributed to the 71-year old Vaijanath Biradar. Thoogudeepa stated how Biradar had outdone himself with his work in Kateera - so much so that one would need to see the film to believe it. 

He said, "His performance in Kaatera is on a different level. One should need to see him on screen." Produced by Rockline Venkatesh, the film is said to be inspired from real-life events set against the backdrop of a village. Kateera is eyeing a 2024 release.
