‘Jaguar’, based on a story written by well-known Telugu film writer Vijayendra Prasad, will be made in Kannada and Telugu. It will be directed by Telugu director Mahadev and will go on the floor on August 2.

“There have been rumours that the film is being made at a cost of Rs 60 crore. I have been involved with films and know the economics of filmmaking. It will be completed in about Rs 10 to 15 crore,’’ Kumaraswamy, who has produced hits like the 2003 film Chandra Chakori, said.

Nikhil Gowda, who is Kumaraswamy’s son from his marriage to former MLA Anita Kumaraswamy, is a college drop out. He is known for his interest in cars and infamous for his involvement in a brawl at a restaurant in Bangalore in 2006, when Kumaraswamy was the CM.

Though the family denies it, the Nikhil is tipped to enter electoral politics sooner or later.
