In the competitive territories of Indian cinema, Sandalwood has often taken a backseat, operating within its own world and fan base, which has traditionally had limited reach. However, things changed with the emergence of Rock Star Yash, whose film KGF set a grand scale opening worldwide and opened minds to Sandalwood’s potential.
Since the introduction of the KGF factor, Sandalwood stars have been striving to follow this successful pattern by launching larger-scale projects with broader appeal. Rishab Shetty’s Kantara has emerged as a notable success, gaining significant recognition. However, subsequent attempts by other stars, such as Kichcha Sudeep with Vikrant Rona and Kabzaa, along with Dhruva Sarja’s recent film Martin, have not performed well—not just in other states, but also within their own language market.
Now, actor Sreemurali is trying his luck with his upcoming film, Bagheera, directed by D.R. Suri. What makes this film particularly interesting is that Prashant Neel, the creator of the KGF franchise, is one of the writers, which has piqued the interest of fans and netizens alike. Whether his involvement will contribute to the film’s success like KGF and Kantara remains to be seen. The trailer is set to launch tomorrow, and the film is scheduled to hit the screens this Diwali 2024.
