Kannada actor Dhananjay needs no introduction to the Telugu audience. Known for his impactful performances in films like Pushpa and Zebra, the actor is now gearing up for a powerful new role in the upcoming period drama Halagali.
Directed by Sukesh DK and produced by Kalyan Chakravarthy Dhoolipalla under the banner of Duhar Movies, Halagali promises to be a grand cinematic experience.
Along with the title reveal, the makers have unveiled a first-look teaser that introduces both Dhananjaya’s character and the film’s compelling premise.
Battle For The Weapons is the title for the first part. Set against the backdrop of colonial India, Halagali brings to light the untold story of the Bedar community, renowned for their guerrilla warfare against the British.
Dhananjay makes a striking entry in the teaser, confronting British forces with fierce intensity.
The highlight comes as he defiantly hurls a spear at the British flag, toppling it to the ground, just before his face is dramatically revealed, embodying the spirit of a fearless rebel leader.
Dhananjay’s transformation for the role is remarkable, hinting at the extensive preparation and physical training he has undergone.
The teaser generates a lot of excitement surrounding the project, reflecting its high production values and ambitious scale, suggesting Halagali is being mounted on big canvas. It indeed is the highest budgeted movie for Dhananjaya.
Kantara fame Sapthami Gowda plays a pivotal role, while music is composed by Vasuki Vaibhav.
The film is set to release in two parts, with the first part already halfway through its shoot. It will have a Pan India release in 5 languages.
