Rogue (2017 film)

Rogue is an Indian Telugu - Kannada bilingual action thriller film directed by Puri Jagannadh. The film introduces Ishan in the lead role, along with Mannara Chopra and Angela Krislinzki playing the female leads.

The filming began in November 2015 and the first trailer was out on 1 March 2017.

In 2015, after the completion of the film Loafer, Puri Jagannadh announced that he would commence on his new project titled Rogue to be a sequel of his 2006 blockbuster film, Pokiri and had approached actor Mahesh Babu for the lead role . Since there were no confirmation from the actor's side, Puri hinted at directing Chiranjeevi's 150th film and narrated the story. Since Chiranjeevi was not impressed with the second half of the film and instead preferred a remake of Tamil film Kaththi, Puri went ahead with a fresh concept and cast producer C. R. Manohar's son Ishaan to lead the role. On 5 October 2015, Puri announced in his twitter account that he would introduce a new face for his upcoming film titled Rogue. Initially actresses Aisha Sharma and Pooja Jhaveri were signed on for the lead female roles. The shoot began and suddenly was shelved due to various resons. Later, Puri revived the project by replacing Jhaveri with Angela Krislinzki who had earlier appeared in a song of the film Jyothi Lakshmi to play the lead role along with Mannara Chopra in the parallel lead.

The official soundtrack of the film consisting of six songs was composed by Sunil Kashyap. While the Kannada version of the audio is about to be launched on 9 March 2017 at Palace grounds in Bengaluru and invited actors Shiva Rajkumar, Sudeep and Puneeth Rajkumar to be at the event. The Telugu version is planned to release in the second week of March with actor Nandamuri Balakrishna and Sunny Leone being the primary invitees.
