Crafting Guru Shishyaru it was no ordinary achievement for the team. The sports drama directed by Jadeshaa K Hampi explores the relationship between the Guru (the PT teacher) and his Shishyaru (students) on screen through the popular village sport of kho-kho. Actor Sharan is also bankrolling the film, Tharun Kishore Sudhir is the project’s creative director and co-producer. The team has gone the extra mile to capture the true essence of the sport and has selected 11 talented kids that include children of celebrities: Hruday (son of Sharan), Ekanth (son of Prem), Suriya (son of Ravi Shankar Gowda), Harshit (son of Naveen Krishna), Rakshak (son of Bullet Prakash) and Manikanta Nayak (son of MLA Raju Gowda). The other young talents selected through auditions are Asif Mulla, Sambhashiva, Sandesh, Sagar, Rudragowda, Anup Ramana and Amith B. All the children underwent rigorous training for a year under the guidance of a 40-year-old organization — Sports Club for young pioneers in Bengaluru, by coach BR Kumar and team.
“We had the vision to make sure that the kids give their best in sports and action through this training,” says Jadeshaa K Hampi, who himself was a part of the training camp. “Even Sharan underwent personal training for 4 months by seasoned player and teacher BV Nandakumar to suit his role as a coach.”
Tarun Kishore Sudhir says that bringing in celebrity kids was not commercially viable as the film already has star actor Sharan as the face of the film. “Coincidentally, some of the cast are child stars. This film gives them recognition, but it won’t give them a ticket to success.”The team ensures that star kids and others selected through auditions are treated equally. “They had to work as a team on and off set. I believe that Guru Shishyaru the experience will boost their confidence level and they have all lived up to the true spirit of this game,” he adds.
Set in the 1990s, the film starring Nishvika Naidu, Suresh Heblikar, Datana and Apoorva Kasaravali will hit theaters on September 23.
