Director Chethan Kumar of 'Bahaddur' fame had earlier announced that he would be directing a film called 'James' with Puneeth being Jamesh. However, Chethan did not disclose who the producer is.

Now the cat is finally out of bag and Patthikonda Kishore who had distributed films like Puneeth's 'Mythri' and 'Om' will be producing the film under his Kishore Films banner. The film will be first from the Kishore Films banner.

Though the film has been announced, the film will start later this year as Puneeth is busy with his prior commitments.
