Bengaluru: Actor Prajwal Devaraj's wife Ragini Chandran's debut movie Vijayadashami was stalled after three days of shooting as the producer backtracked from the project.

The project was to be shelved, but hearing the news, ‘Power Star’ Puneeth Rajkumar has come forward to invest money in the same film with Ragini playing the lead. However, the name of the movie will be changed and it will be re-launched, say reports.

This is a women-oriented film and it is the first movie for Ragini. It will also be the first women-oriented movie being produced by PRK Productions, run by Puneeth and his wife Ashwini Revanth.

This will be the fourth film to be produced by PRK Productions after Kavaludari directed by Hemanth, Mayabazaar starring Raj B Shetty of Ondu Motteya Kathe fame, and another movie directed by Pannaga Bharana starring Danish Sait.

Ragini is a model but had never tried acting before. However, there were rumours that she will make her debut opposite husband Prajwal with the movie Inspector Vikram, in a special appearance. The movie is slated for release in March.
