Shivarajkumar’s Upcoming Film DAD Officially Launched

The muhurat of DAD, starring Shivarajkumar, was held on Monday at the historic Nandi Temple atop Chamundi Hill in Mysuru. The opening shot was given a ceremonial start by Geetha Shivarajkumar, who clapped the first take and wished the film’s team great success.

This temple holds a special memory for the actor. Around 32 years ago, his film Jagamechida Huduga had also begun its journey at the same sacred site, before the giant Nandi idol. Now, with DAD, history seems to repeat itself.

The film is being produced by Harish Peddi under Myra Creations. Peddi has earlier backed Telugu hits like Bhagavanth Kesari, Ugramm, and Tuck Jagadish. Director Anil Kanneganti, known for Telugu films such as Asadhyudu, Mr. Nookayya, and Hidimbha, has written the story and screenplay, and will also direct. Both Peddi and Kanneganti are making their debut in Kannada cinema through this project. B.S. Sudheendra, who is currently working on Shivanna 131, is on board as executive producer.

DAD is said to be an emotional family drama with thrilling elements. Shivarajkumar will be seen as a doctor, a role he is revisiting after 27 years, his last being in Gadibidi Krishna. The film will be shot across Bengaluru and Mysuru in a 50-day schedule.

The cast includes Sharmila Mandre, Baby Nakshatra, Babu, and Malayalam star Suraj Venjaramoodu. The trilingual film (Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam) will feature music by Arjun Janya, while cinematography will be handled by B. Rajashekar, noted for Telugu hits like Orange and Arya 2.
