Back to Kannada films section

Away from campaigning, Jayaprada works in 'Ee Bhandhana'
By R.G. Vijayasarathy,

Bangalore, April 15  Kannada cinema is providing actress-politician Jayaprada a much-needed break from her hectic election campaign in Uttar Pradesh.

"I am happy to be back in Kannada films after a gap of nearly three years," said the Samajwadi Party MP who was here for the launch of "Ee Bhandhana".

To be produced by Jai Jagadish and directed by his wife Vijayalakshmi Singh, the film has Vishnuvardhan in the male lead. This is Jayaprada's third Kannada film with the veteran actor.

Answering a question, she said: "Playing a role in cinema is far easier than playing a game on the political turf of UP (Uttar Pradesh)."
 
She finished the first day's filming and left for Uttar Pradesh. The actress is expected to resume shooting after completing her campaigning for the Samajwadi Party.

Asked whether it is easier to deal with a woman director than a female political opponent like Mayawati, Jayaprada laughed and remarked: "Don't ask me that question!"
