Rishi Kumar Swamiji on silver screen

Rishi Kumar Swamiji , known for hogging the limelight frequently, is acting as a dance teacher in Kannada movie Sarvasya Natyam.

Swamiji was one of the contestants for Kannada Bigg Boss last year.

It may be recalled that police had registered a first information report (FIR) against Swamiji for a post on social media against Congress MLA Zameer Ahmed in January 2020.

Sarasva Natyam will be the maiden movie for Swamiji. It is directed by Manjunath BN, secretary of Kannada Film Choreographers’ Association.

“I am very happy to act in this movie. All the children who acted in this movie have acted well. I played the character of a dance teacher who faces a lot of problems while teaching dance for orphan children,’’ said Swamiji.

Shamya Gubbi, a homeopathy doctor, has played the lead role in this movie.

“It is about how downtrodden children struggle to realize their dreams,’’ said director Manjunath BN.
