James, starring late Puneeth Rajkumar in the lead, will release this Thursday. But apart from Puneeth and leading lady Priya Anand who stars opposite him for the second time, director Chethan Kumar has lined up a big cast, drawn from different regional industries, who add stellar appeal to the story.

“We have many interesting faces in the film, each of whom will be presented in a different manner than what they have always been seen as. For instance, Sarath Kumar has always been seen in positive supporting roles, but here, his role will have major negative shades, which will be a first,” shares Chethan, adding that this will be a big USP for the film.
