The veteran of 84 years CV Shivashanker returns to direction after ‘Kannada Kuvara’. This time CVS has brought in the script approved by Dr Rajakumar three decades ago in one of the Sri Ayyappa pilgrimage tour.

It was ‘Daivika Daaha’ expressed by Dr Rajakumar the accompaniment CVS narrated sitting under Kantharaja Hills after Lord Ayyappa Darshan. The script is now approved by friends of CVS Rajendra and others and the film titled ‘Akalanka’ is ready with shooting.

Apparently the long time wish of CVS to make Girija Lokesh as heroine is also fulfilled. Girijamma today is in lead roles and she has three songs in this ‘Akalanka’. Dattanna, Doddanna, Meese Anjanappa, Bengaluru Nagesh, Ganesh Rao, Mani Murugan, Gym Shivu, Vasudha and others are in the cast. The trailer and audio CD with nine songs were released by Smt Girija Lokesh.

Shiva Sathya son of MS Sathyu (MS Umesh – Umeshanna brother) is very happy with the opportunity given to score music for nine songs in this film.

Girija Lokesh father and CVS father were close friends. It is from CVS Girija learnt dance. The opportunities to cast Girija as heroine in younger days did not happen for CVS. For Mene Katti Nodi CVS wanted Girija as heroine but demand came for Manjula to take lead role.

Finally the dance Girija Lokesh learnt earned her chance in cinema and that also became livelihood when her father lost in business affairs. Girijamma remembering her early days stated that at last CVS cast me in lead role that I missed. It is a moment of ‘Sarthakathe’ says Girijamma sitting next to CVS at Renukamba Digital theatre.
