Uttarakaanda is a two-part film with Dhananjaya in the lead and veteran star Shivarajkumar in a prominent role. Ramya was earlier named as the female lead of the movie, but the actor-politician opted out of the project owing to “unavailability of dates”. Aishwarya Rajesh is set to play a character name Durgi in the movie.
The other actors in the film are Chaithra J Achar, Diganth, Yogaraj Bhat, Gopalkrishna Deshpande, Umashree and Malayalam actor-producer Vijay Babu. Advaitha Gurumurthy is the cinematographer while ace Bollywood composer Amit Trivedi will compose music for the movie.
