Aryan (Kannada: ಆರ್ಯನ್) is a 2014 Kannada Indian sports drama film. Initially directed by Late D. Rajendra Babu, who died while filming half-way, the responsibility of directing the film went to Chi Guru Dutt. The film was produced by Dhruv Das under the banner Dreamweaver Entertainment and stars Shivarajkumar and Ramya in the lead roles.
The movie is based on the life of Aryan (acted by Shivrajkumar), who is an athletics coach. His protégé, a sprint queen (acted by Ramya) goes on win a major athletics event. Against this backdrop, there is a love story between the two.
The first look and music of the film are released on 9 June 2014.
The movie is based on the life of Aryan (acted by Shiva Rajkumar), who is a former champion Indian athlete. This film focuses on his life as an athletics coach. His protégé, a sprint queen (acted by Ramya) goes on win a major athletics event. Against this backdrop, there is a love story between the two.
However, before Shwetha finds success as an athlete and before Aryan finds his credibility back as a coach, they have to overcome various obstacles in the form of hostility, betrayal, jealousy and lust.
Coinciding with the birthday of Shivarajkumar's late father and Kannada cinema's most celebrated actor, Rajkumar, the filming began on 24 April 2013. While the filming was half-complete, director D. Rajendra Babu died following a heart attack. Subsequently, Chi Guru Dutt was signed in on to direct the film.
Majority of the filming has been done in Bengaluru. Sporting sequences and some other portions are shot in Singapore. The film has lavishly shot sports sequences and some beautiful dance numbers. Harsha, the well known choreographer and director is involved in the dance sequences of the film.
Actor turned director Chi Guru Dutt, son of stalwart writer of Kannada cinema Chi. Udaya Shankar took over the film after the death of D. Rajendra Babu. He started work as a dedication to the legendary Kannada director. According to him, he worked as an actor under Babu in four films. Guru Dutt admits that it is an honour and a duty to complete this film. In fact, Guru Dutt feels that the film should credit Rajendra Babu as the director of Aryan, and not him. The producer, Dhruv Das, has decided that the film will credit both names as the directors of the film.
