Now, he is back with another offbeat film, Uma Maheshwara Ugra Roopasya starring Satyadev and debutant Roopa Koduvayur. The makers recently unveiled a song which introduces actress Roopa. Elated over this, she took to social media thanking the team for giving her a break. She went on to thank her co-star Satyadev too for being supportive throughout the film.
