Three's not a crowd: Ajit, Yogesh Veer and Manasi play the lead roles in Shivakashiu00a0 Pic\KN Nagesh Kumar

A film revolving around Cauvery is sure to have its fair share of controversy, we thought. But director Ramprakash, who launched the film Shivakashi at Kanteerava Studio on Monday, was quick to point out that his film is a love story.u00a0 Having directed 18 serials for Door Darshan, he believes that he can tell a good story without sounding clichu00e9d. Ajit, of Pallaki fame, plays the hero while Yogesh Veer is the villain. Manasi, who has acted in Moggina Manasu, plays Ajit's love interest. "Shivakashi is not a remake of the Tamil film of the same name. It is about two characters, Shiva, a Kannadiga, and Kaashi, a Tamilian, who vie for Cauvery's attention," says Ramprakash. So, don't you try reading loftier meaning into the title or the plot!
