Pushpaka Vimana (Kannada: ಪುಷ್ಪಕ ವಿಮಾನ) is an upcoming Indian Kannada drama film directed by S. Ravindranath, making his debut.[1] The film stars Ramesh Aravind, acting in his 100th Kannada film, as the protagonist playing the father role.[2] Rachita Ram and Baby Yuvina Parthavi play the daughters role. Prominent Bollywood actress Juhi Chawla stars in an extended cameo role, marking her re-entry to Kannada films after 18 years.[3] The film's title is borrowed from the 1987 silent film of the same name which starred Kamal Haasan and Amala in the lead roles.[4]
The film is a joint venture between Vikhyath Chitra Productions and Pawan Wadeyar Film Factory. The film's score and soundtrack is by Charan Raj whilst the cinematography is by Bhuvan Gowda. The film's teaser clocking 2minutes 37seconds and portraying the love and affection between the father and the daughter garnered much praise for Ramesh's expressive act and Bhuvan's cinematography.[5]

Production
Development
Early reports of the film emerged in December 2015 that actor Ramesh Aravind would feature in a new film which has the title of the 1987 silent film Pushpaka Vimana.[6] Initially apprehensive about using the same title, the team later decided to go ahead with the same as the story would connect to the title. Ramesh's role was revealed to be that of a father to a little girl and is "crazy about planes". The producers chose S. Ravindranath to helm the director role, making his debut in the feature film.
Casting
After roping in Ramesh for the lead role, producers went in search for a baby girl who could play the daughter character to Ramesh. They finally selected Yuvina Parthavi after being impressed with her performance in the Tamil film Vedhalam (2015). Actress Rachita Ram was selected to play the grown up daughter role with the producers claiming even though it was not a full-fledged role, it would be a prominent character which would last for about 10minutes.[7] After launching the teaser, in February 2016, the makers approached Bollywood actress Juhi Chawla to act in a few scenes apart from appearing in a special song in the film.[8] This film would be Juhi's re-entry to Kannada cinema since her last release Shanti Kranti in 1991.
In the mid January 2016, a teaser was released which saw the 2minutes 37seconds of video showing the emotional attachment between the father played by Ramesh and his daughter played by Yuvina.[9] Upon the release of teaser, huge appreciations poured in from different quarters particularly pointing out Ramesh's acting along with Bhuvan's cinematography. The teaser was shown to Juhi Chawla before signing her into the film.
