<p>Addressing media here on Sunday, Narayan who is not leaving any stone unturned to cement his son Pankaj’s prospects as a hero in Sandalwood, said the film has opened to good crowds, with overwhelming response from all the centres. <br /><br />It’s not usual commercial flick, but a different film that has also brought satisfaction to me as the man behind, said Narayan.<br /><br />Explaining about the connecting facts, Narayan said the story was an inspiration of a real life incident, to which he was a witness in his nascent days. <br /><br />If all had gone well, Narayan would have filmed it with Raghuveer in the lead, after runaway hit-Chaitrada Premanjali. But, it couldn’t see the light of the day due to many reasons. <br /><br />However, the project got a push with writing the script eight years after, but to lose track again.<br /><br />In 2003, though he made up his mind, lack of a likeable face to fit the role of a hero, shelved the project yet again. Similar was the fate, when Narayan attempted to launch the movie in 2009. <br /><br />“My friends advised me to go ahead with Pankaj in the lead role and now it is a reality”, recalled Narayan.<br /><br />Another highlight of the movie is, barring Pankaj, almost all the characters in the movie are played by newcomers.<br /><br />It’s a challenge and risk to extract work from them, claimed Narayan.<br /><br />He was optimistic that the cash registers will ring, if not right away, in the coming days for sure. <br /><br />Pankaj said he found it challenging to act with newcomers, and was afraid playing a few sequences. <br /><br />But, I enjoyed during dubbing and was dumbstruck during the first show, said the excited newcomer. <br /><br /></p>
