Comedian Danish Sait will bring Gopi, a character of a government school teacher that he created during the Covid-19 lockdown, to life in an upcoming Kannada film titled One Cut Two Cut, that will be backed by Puneeth Rajkumar‘s production banner PRK Productions.
“Gopi, the character that I created on the internet, is now becoming a full-fledged film,” Sait told Silverscreen India.
The poster of One Cut Two Cut was released on Friday. The film will be directed by standup comedian Vamsidhar Bhogaraju, who also wrote the dialogues for Sait’s debut film, Humble Politician Nograj in which Puneeth Rajkumar had also appeared in a cameo role.
The story is about Gopi’s first day at school and all the things that go awry, Sait told Silverscreen India. Gopi is a character created and played by Sait in an episode titled Perfect Proposal from his Youtube channel. In the original episode, Gopi is in search of a suitable life partner.
“So, I’m playing Gopi, who is an origami teacher, and it is his first day at a government school and everything that goes wrong there. It is a crazy comedy action film. The shooting will take place all indoors in one location,” Sait told Silverscreen India.
