Bengaluru: Sofia, the Bulgarian capital known for its rocking night life was scouted for its spectacular locales by former CM and State Janata Dal (Secular) president H D Kumaraswamy, set to launch his son, Mr Nikhil Gowda as the hottest young debutant in the Kannada movie industry in the upcoming movie, Jaguar that is set for a Dasara release.
Ringed by spectacular snow-capped mountains, fir forests, log cabins and ski resorts, HDK and a key aide returned early Tuesday, from Bulgaria after zeroing in on the perfect locations for the young cub, in the second leg of shooting that is set to commence in the former Soviet state, in ten days. HDK plans to return to Sofia with a 50 man crew of national and international technicians for a 30 day long location shoot.
Son first, party last?
The JD(S) leader H.D. Kumarswamy has taken a leave of absence from politics to concentrate on launching his son Nikhil Gowda's career. He takes no calls from party legislators or friends in the media.
All his political commitments are 'temporarily' on hold. Personally present when the shoot was on, in and around Mysuru, HDK skipped the budget session of the State Assembly.
Managing the party is JD(S) patriarch, Mr H.D. Deve Gowda, whose party legislators, Mr C N Balakrishna, Mr Zameer Ahmed Khan, Mr N. Cheluvarayaswamy, Mr Iqbal Ansari, Mr Akhanda Srinivas have boycotted meetings, demanding that a working president be appointed to run the party.
Is an exit on the cards?
