Wissenswertes

Ranga (S.S.L.C) is a 2004 Indian Kannada-language masala film written by Duniya Suri and directed by Yogaraj Bhat. It stars Sudeep and Ramya in the lead roles. Nagashekar, Umashree and Rangayana Raghu appear in other significant roles. The film follows Ranga (Sudeep), a hot-headed auto rickshaw driver trying to turn his life around by clearing his SSLC examinations, whose romance with Padma (Ramya) unfolds amid gang rivalries, personal loss and violence.

Production

Ranga (S.S.L.C) was the second collaboration of friends and film writers Yogaraj Bhat and Duniya Suri, after they worked together on the former's directorial debut, Mani (2003). The film was first announced in mid-2003. Sudeep first met Bhat during the rerecording of Mani and expressed interest of working with him.

He reportedly stuck to Bhat despite the commercial failure of Mani. Bhat conceptualized Sudeep's character as one with a "unique" behavior and language. He also stated that a new version of the Kannada language would be used which would entertain the viewers. The makers announced during the launch that they aimed for a 23 April 2004 theatrical release for the film, after the SSLC examinations concluded that year in Karnataka.

Bhat stated that the film bore no resemblance to the then recently released Hindi film, Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. (2003), while adding that his film was "... 80 per cent comedy and 20 per cent sentiment." Sudeep, who was coming on the back of commercial and critical successes, Kiccha (2003) and Swathi Muthu (2003), was paired opposite Ramya for the first time, who had the commercial hit Excuse Me (2003) behind her.

The film was launched on 23 January 2004. It was the 23rd film produced by N. Kumar. Revealing the plot details in an interview during the filming stage, Bhat stated: "Ranga loses his father, while he was about to write his S.S.L.C. examinations. That creates havoc in his mind. His behavioral patterns are strange. You have to see it to understand. Even the language we have used in this film looks different.
