The week-end curfew to come into effect from today has an adverse impact on Kannada movie “DNA”. The movie is scheduled to release at theaters across the state but has been postponed for two weeks due to the week-end curfew. “We have no problems with night curfew across the state but the week-end curfew would have an adverse impact on box-office collections of our movie DNA as Saturday and Sundays are crucial for any movie to get more audiences. We have decided to postpone the release of the DNA movie for two to three weeks,’’ says director Prakash Raju Mehu.

The director says that well-known writer Devanur Mahadeva’s novel is an inspiration to make the “DNA” movie.

“It is about human relations. Our movie DNA has a message to society,’’ he says, adding that he has worked under director Nagabharana for Kannada movie Janumada Jodi in which Shivarajkumar played the lead role.

Tulsi Gowda, an environmentalist who received Padma Shri award recently, has released the audio of DNA movie.

Ester Noronha, who acted in multilingual movies, has said that she has agreed to act in “DNA” because of its script. “DNA will remain as one of the movies that are close to my heart,’’ says Ester Noronha.

Roger Narayan, Achyuth Kumar, Yamuna, Anitha Bhat, Master Krishna Chaitanya, Master Dhruva Mehu and Niharika are the important star cast of “DNA”.
