It’s a Hindi movie called Jan Leva 555. It’s a “romantic musical mystery thriller spanning 555 years”—and 15 songs. It’s due for release on October 19. And it stars our very own Kalpana Pandit of 1st main road, Yadavagiri, Mysore 570020.
Produced by Kalpana Pandit, MD, a former “Miss India USA” who belongs to the Nanjangud B.V. Pandit family, the movie aims to sensitise audiences to cobra bites; proceeds from the film will apparently go to buy ventilators for cobra-bitten patients and anti-vinen research.
Kalpana’s previous Kannada flick Jo Jo Laali dwelt on HIV.
News reports say Jan Leva 555 also stars Anant Nag in a Hindi film after two decades and Vyjayanthimala Bali (who was herself married to a doctor) after 42 years.
The Marimallappa’s college and Mysore medical college alum, who is a emergency doctor in Arizona, had previously acted in M.F. Husain‘s Gajagamini.

What is this rubbish? When there are hot issues like Mamta pull out, Yeddy threat and Cauvery why do you waste space for such trash. Seriously, do you need the picture of some half-naked pehlawan type to sell your site?

One great thing happening to Kannada film industry,
Lot of doctors entering the industry with intention of giving good Kannada movies, this has improved the standards.
Dr shamita malnad— dentist, very successful playback Singer
Ricky kej— dentist, accomplished music director
Dr bharti— practising medicine, heroine
Siddhanth—- studied medicine in London, lead actor in many movies
Many more.
All the best to kalpana pandit, wish her a great career in Kannada film industry as well.

Deepak, Anna you aren’t paying a naya paisa to dictate the content of this site. If you want to see hot pic of Sushma Swaraja in a bikini, try a search.
Kalpana Pandit = impressive achievements, impressive looks, impressive kannadiga.

@Anonymous – Bro looks like you spend all your time searching for bikini babes, so you are well qualified to give expert opinions. And yes, I don’t pay a paisa to churumuri and neither do you. But churumuri has to decide what is important – relevant issues that encourage debate or irrelevant tripe that attracts irrelevant comments!!

@Dr. Ramesh, add to your list Dr. Suri who directed “Lucky” produced by Smt. Radhika Kumaraswamy. Ricky Kej and Shamita have been doing a good job in music. But Siddhanth!! Surely he doesnt deserve to be an actor. He studied in MMC if I am not wrong.
Long ago, we even had doctors in TV serials. The famous Dr. Vijay of Shakti and other serials. Even one of the “danDapinDagaLu” actor was a doctor.
