What was ‘Sahasa Simha’ to Dr Vishnuvardhana, ‘Raja Simha’ will be for his son in law Anirudh? This is ray of hope in the career of talented, handsome actor Anirudh – for the first time he has taken up action based film with very important elements what we see in Dr Vishnuvardhana films. The village backdrop, humanity, good deeds, softening feuds and Good Samaritan are salient natures of this film.
The relevance of Dr Vishnuvardhana – triple role of Dr Vishnu – Simhadriya Simha – Narasimhe Gowda role is the take off for this film. It is at this village the protagonist Anirudh comes as his son. Here in this village is Dr Bharathi Vishnuvardhana mother of protagonist. There is graphic presentation of Dr Vishnuvardhana role besides the Narasimhe Gowda portions on silver screen in ‘Raja Simha’.
The trials and tribulation he faces from detractors is the trump card for action portions in this film. Director Ravi Ram in his first venture has worked on the script for two years.
Nikita Tukral is heroine, Dr Ambarish, Arun Sagar, Sharat Lohitashva, CD Basappa, Bullet Prakash, Chitra Shenoy, Vijay Chendur and a number of actors are seen in this high budget cinema of Veer Masthi Movies produced by CD Basappa.
