Bidri to act
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,July 30 2015]
Like how it is a right film for Dr Shivarajakumar in Killing Veerappan' (his father icon Dr Rajakumar was kidnapped and kept in forest for 108 days and released on ransom), the film Maththe Banda Veerappan' is also closely connected to former Cop Shanker Bidri. In the 20 long years battle with Veerappan forest brigand, for some time Shanker Bidri as cop at the help taken risk in checking the moves of Veerappan. Shanker Bidri retired from services is playing the role of DGP in this imaginary subject of Omkar alias Purushottam director of the film.
His role is only a few minutes on the silver screen. HV Annappa is playing Veerappan' role. The film is about what happens when Veerappan takes birth again. Shanker Bidri was behind Veerappan for a period of three years. On request from the team I have given consent. I don't have the habit of seeing films say the retired cop.
