Audithya will be playing the role of a Race driver with a red face in the film Rakthaksha to be produced under the banner of SVR Movies and directed by his father and veteran director S.V.Rajendra Singh Babu.

The film had a grand launch a few days ago in the presence of many young Kannada film stars like Puneet Raj Kumar, Darshan, Vijay and Upendra. Rebel Star Ambareesh and Ms. Parvathamma Raj Kumar were present in the function to bless Audithya and wish Rajendra Singh Babu's family members.

Rajendra Singh Babu said that the regular shooting of the film would start in the third week of July after the heroine of the film is finalized. 'The film is an action oriented family entertainer which has the Defense deals kickback element in the story's back drop. I am not making a documentary film. I am making a commercial film. It will have this element in the background, but the hero whose family has become victim of such a large scale corruption in a deal decides to fight back. I am selecting a Mangalore based girl as the heroine of the film. One more girl who has her roots in Karnataka is also being selected' said Babu.

Incidentally sources said that Bollywood heroine Amrutha Rao's sister may be making a debut through this Kannada film.
