Dheera Bhagat Roy is set for a December 6 release, directly competing with the much-awaited Pushpa 2. Director Karnan sees this as an opportunity for Kannada cinema to shine, expressing that it’s not merely competition but a bold step for the industry. The success of Rangi Taranga against Baahubali inspires us to stand tall, he shared.
Producer Praveen Gowda echoed this optimism, saying they trust the support of Kannada audiences. The film stars newcomer Rakesh Dalawai in the lead role, with Sucharitha Sahayara making her debut as the female lead. Rakesh, proud to represent Kannada cinema, expressed excitement over the challenge, declaring, I’m a Bellary boy, and Kannada cinema is close to my heart.
Backed by Shree Om Cine Entertainers, Dheera Bhagat Roy features music by Poornachandra Tejaswi, cinematography by Selvam John, and editing by NM Vishwa. Karnan described the film as a quality production, standing firm against any perceived dominance from Pushpa 2’s distributors. Activist Bhaskar Prasad voiced the team’s stance, emphasizing Kannada pride, while director Vijay Kumar of Salaga expressed his support. Dheera Bhagat Roy aspires to mark a significant moment in Kannada cinema.
