A director, composer, actor and singer!

Sadhu Kokila's many roles
A director, composer, actor and singer!
Sadhu Kokila is without doubt one of the most versatile talents in Sandalwood. He has proved it time and again. In his upcoming film, he had the chance to showcase not one but four of his talents. He is the director of Bhale Jodi starring Sumanth Shailendra and Shanvi Srivastava. He is also the music composer for the film and plays the character of Shanvi's father in the film. To top it, he also sang one of the songs (Yedeya Aala) in the film .
Producer Shailendra Babu sadi, "He is master of so many things. We call him 'sakalakalavallabha' because of that. It has also proved a bit problematic because he has so many commitments for acting and composing for other films. The film took one year to complete. The problem with the Censor Board delayed the film by three months."
Babu is still not happy with how the film had to face trouble in the Censor. "Finally, we had to delete a scene about gay people. The Censor committee had asked us to delete it and we had appealed to the Revising Committee to see if they accept it. I paid the fee and waited but the file never reached the Mumbai office. We lost three months and are releasing the film without that scene. The film has a 'U' certificate now," Babu said.
The producer however is happy with how the film has shaped up. "Sadhu has done a great job. He has delivered a better film than what he had promised. I loved the outcome. Sumanth (his son) has improved as an actor and there was a very good team of technicians who jelled well. Shanvi and Ravishankar have given excellent performances and are a treat to watch. Overall, I loved watching the film. I have a good film on hand," he said.
