'Dare Devil Musthafa' is a comedy drama based on the acclaimed and multi-talented Kannada author K.P. Poornachandra Tejaswi's story. Shashank Sogal is the director.

'Jersey Number 10' is a hearty heart-warming love story of a hockey player. State-level hockey player Adya Thimmaiah, who is also one of the producers, is playing the lead role. The movie is being co-produced by Adya Thimmaiah and Rashin Subbaiah.

'Suman' is directed by Ravi Sagar and features Dharma Keerthiraj, Rajani Bharadwaj, Zayleen Ganapathy and Nimika Ratnakar in the main roles.
