All of today’s children not only aim to become doctors or engineers, but they still crack under the pressure of an education system that forces them to learn equations and theorems by heart.

In order to encourage them to branch out and get out of this age-old rat race, the theater company and casting house Sutradhar are working on a bilingual feature film, Music School. The film, which has several big names in the industry on board, will promote sports and the arts, highlight the issues students face and why many are unable to pursue their passion for music and theater.

Actors Shriya Saran and Sharman Joshi, as well as singer Shaan, will star there. The supporting cast includes actors Suhasini Mulay, Benjamin Gilani, Prakash Raj and actor-director Vinay Varma. Telugu comedian Brahmanandam, Mona Ambegaokar, Gracie Goswami and Ozu Barua are also part of the project.

Cinematographer Kiran Deohans, best known for his work in Jodhaa Akbar, will shoot the film. The music school will also include Hyderabad-based actors such as Ramakrishna Shenoy, C Suresh Kumar, Phani Eggone, Mangala Bhatt, Surabhi Prabhavati, Monto Irfan, Tanmayi Rao and Vivaan Jain.

Shaan will play the ex-boyfriend of lead actor Shriya Saran and also sing on screen. “In addition to them, several child actors will have the opportunity to show their acting skills,” explains Vinay, the founder of Sutradhar. Working with the team for over four years now, he’s not only an actor but also behind the camera.

Music School is produced and directed by Papa Rao Biyyala, a former bureaucrat who also wrote the story and the screenplay. The film is a musical, with 12 songs composed by Ilaiyaraaja. “Three of them are from the classic Hollywood film Sound of Music, for which the producer has acquired the rights to its filmmakers,” Vinay said.

The film will hit the parquet floors from November 15, with the song sequences set to be shot in Goa and Hyderabad. Choreographer Adam Murray rehearses with the actors of Sutradhar. Filming for the film is expected to be finished by February 2022, says Vinay, who is all excited about the project.
