Director Srinivas Raju is revisiting the Dandupalya gang, the notorious criminals whose gory murder and crimes had hit the headlines some years ago, in ‘Dandupalya 2’.<br /><br />Srinivas who has written the story, screenplay and directed ‘Dandupalya 2’, says that he had gathered so much material when researching for ‘Dandupalya’ says he couldn’t finish the story in just one part. “The first part focussed on the activities of the gang on the surface level. The second part delves into the modus operandi and the conclusion will be in the final part which will release in the first week of August,” says Srinivas.

The movie has been shot in and around Bengaluru and a few villages in Kolar.
