Interesting facts

Mr. Airavata is a 2015 Indian Kannada-language action film directed by A. P. Arjun and produced by Sandesh Nagaraj under Sandesh Combines. The film stars Darshan, alongside Urvashi Rautela, Prakash Raj, Anant Nag, Sithara, Bullet Prakash, Sindhu Lokanath, and Darshan's son Vineesh making his debut. The music was composed by V. Harikrishna, while cinematography and editing were handled by Shekhar Chandra and Deepu S.

Production

In mid February 2013, producer Sandesh Nagaraj of Sandesh Combines banner, who is also a politician, announced that he would produce a film starring Darshan and selected director A. P. Arjun upon his recommendation. It was reported that Darshan liked Arjun's work in both Ambari and Addhuri besides penning down lyrics for his own film Thangigagi.

The film began production on 16 February 2013 at the Kanteerava Studios in Bangalore with

former Chief Minister H. D. Kumaraswamy. Titled as Airavata, the film was reported to have been lavishly invested by the producer and added that the shooting would not take place in Mysore as is the usual case with Darshan's films. However, the film's proceedings went on a very slow pace owing to the busy schedules of director Arjun, and actor Darshan.

Actress Erica Fernandes was initially roped in to play the lead role opposite Darshan. She bagged this role even before the release of her maiden Kannada film Ninnindale's release. She was reportedly shuffling between the sets of this film and also Buguri simultaneously. However, due to under weight issue differences, Erica was out of the film. Reports indicated Rachita Ram would replace her for the role, which found to be untrue.

Multilingual actor Prakash Raj was signed in to play the main antagonist opposite Darshan. It was also reported that Girish Karnad and Arundhati Nag would play the role of parents to Darshan's character while Bullet Prakash was also reportedly cast in an important supporting role. In early 2015, Darshan's seven-year-old son Vineesh was reportedly roped in to play a small character role alongside his father.
