Aachar & Co’s Sindhu Sreenivasa Murthy on why she’s got a newbie cast onboard

If you’ve seen the trailer of the upcoming Kannada film Aachar & Co and wondered where you’ve seen most of the actors before, chances are that you won’t find too many answers. The film, produced by Ashwini Puneeth Rajkumar for PRK Productions, has been directed by Sindhu Sreenivasa Murthy, for who this is only her fourth as an actor and first as a filmmaker. Barring veteran actors Ashok and Sudha Belawadi, the rest of the cast largely comprises talent from theatre, some of who are rank newbies, while others have a few film roles to their credit. Aachar & Co’s cast is relatively unknown to Kannada film aficionados and that, says Sindhu, is what works for the film.
