On a whirlwind tour with Shivraj Kumar's CNN!

"Hattrick hero" Shivaraj Kumar needs a big hit now.

And in all probability, his latest Kannada flick Cheluveye Ninne Nodalu directed by actor Raghuramand and produced by M N Suresh, may just be what the doctor ordered.

What is special about Cheluveye Ninne Nodalu is that it is poised as the first Kannada film to be shot in all the seven wonders of the world which includes the Taj Mahal -- sequences at the Great Wall of China are still pending.

Shivaraj Kumar, who plays an international tourist guide in the film, says that Cheluveye Ninne Nodalu is about the beauty of monuments and structures which have baffled mankind for thousands of years.

"Beauty cannot be associated with just human beings. We can see beauty in everything that is around us, natural as well as man-made. CNN makes an attempt to bring them to the Kannada audience," says Shivaraj Kumar.

Raghuram, who acted in several successful films like Jogi, Ajay, Maadesha, Dubai Babu etc, makes his directorial debut with Cheluveye Ninne Nodalu. He has also scripted the film along with writer Chinthan.

Raghuram says that Cheluveye Ninne Nodalu will offer a different experience to the viewers. "It will be a milestone in Shivaraj Kumar sir's career. We have taken a lot of care in his looks and style in this film."

The film's heroine is Sonal Chouhan who earlier acted in the Hindi film Jannat. Nenapirali Prem, Haripriya and Tarun are playing important roles. Kabir Lal is the cinematographer and V Hari Krishna, the music composer.
