Bangalore-based model Raagini Dwivedi plays his love interest.
Raagini is the first runner up of the Miss India South, 2009. Though Veera Madakari will be the first film to feature her as a heroine, she was introduced by director Shankar Linga Sugnalli in Holi, which has already completed its shoot.
She was also one of the twelve heroines who had danced with Upendra in an item song in the film Mast Majaa Maadi which was released last year.
