With Challenging Star Darshan's 50th film 'Munirathna Kurukshetra' hitting the screens worldwide, the actor received a special gift from M G Ramamurthy, the producer of his debut movie Majestic.

The producer Ramamurthy, who visited Darshan at his residence in Rajarajeshwari Nagar, celebrated the release of the actor's 50th film with a specially made cake weighing 50 kilograms! Also, Mr. Ramamurthy's friend Manjunatha presented a silver chain weighing 5 kilograms to the actor on the occasion.

Darshan has always held Mr Ramamurthy with high regards for having given him his first breakthrough in his career after struggling through his initial days working in various capacities in the film industry as a technician and for a brief period in television.

Actor Yash has confirmed that he will not be acting in a new film called 'Jodettu' to be produced by senior director M G Ramamurthy.

'Jodettu' was a statement made by actor Darshan in reference to his campaigning along with Yash for the Mandya Lok Sabha elections. The term became very popular and many producers tried to en cash it by trying to do a film by that name. However, M G Ramamurthy got the title and announced that he will do a film called 'Jodettu'.

Though Ramamurthy has announced that he will be doing a film, he has not got a green signal from Darshan for acting in the film. Meanwhile, Yash has confirmed that he will not act in the film.

M G Ramamurthy who has produced films like 'Encounter Dayanayak' and 'Majestic' has silently registered a title called 'Jodettu' and is planning to produce a film under the same name.

Darshan and Yash campaigned for independent candidate Sumalatha and the Chief Minister referred to the actors as 'Jodettu'. However, M G Ramamurthy has become successful in registering the title and is planning to produce the film with Darshan in lead role.

Ramamurthy confirms of registering the title and planning to produce a film with the same name. Though the title is ready, Darshan is yet to give green signal for acting in the film.
