This is Dhananjaya’s second project with Nagabharana after Allama (2017), a film based on the life of a rebellious thinker, Allama Prabhu, from the 12th century. Nadaprabhu Kempegowda will be produced by M N Shivarudra Shivam Gundala while Dhananjaya’s Daali Pictures and KRG Studios are associated with the project as well.
