What happens

Magic Ajji (transl. Magic Grandma) is a 2005 Indian Kannada language fantasy film directed by Dinesh Baboo. It was the first digital film shot in high-definition in Kannada, and the second to be released. The first being Baboo's 2004 Kanakambari. Magic Ajji stars Khushbu Sundar as Queen Rajeshwari Devi, the grandmother and ghost, Master Tejas (Thejas Kesari) as grandson Arjun, and Sudha Rani as Arjun's mother Nirmala Devi. The movie won critical acclaim for its family entertainment quotient, unprecedented use of special effects and animation, and for the performances on Khushbu and Thejas Kesari.
