Education
Is Melody all about Rajesh's real story?
The film's story is said to be about a wife seeking divorce after the first night of marriage.
Rajesh has been married and divorced to three women till now; Soumya Rao, Haripriyaand Ramya Vasishta. Writer-director K Nanjunda, who returns to direction with Melody, tried to downplay the issue. He said, “Yes the story can be summed up like that but there is much more to it. I do not want to say anything about it. We will have a press meet which will be attended by all the cast and none of them has any problem with the film. I will speak to Rajesh and sort out any misgivings."
If the rumours about the film's story being based on Rajesh's life turn true, he will probably be the first actor to act in a movie on his own life. But the film team is as of now stonewalling every question about it.
Rajesh Krishnan is paired opposite Karthika Menon, in Melody, which is also her Kannada debut. Chetan Gandharva is also playing a major role. The film has many other comebacks apart from Rajesh as an actor.
Nanjunda returns to direction after Kanasalu Neene Manasalu Neene. Music composer LN Shastry, who made his debut in the same film, returns to compose music with the same name after having used the name Chaitanya in the intervening years.
