2022 marks the year of the South. The Kannada film industry has come out as a powerful force to reckon with in the past 10 months. From ‘KGF: Chapter 2’, ‘Charlie 777’, ‘Vikrant Rona’ to the most recent, ‘Kantara’, it has been one blockbuster hit, one after another. In 2022 itself, Kannada films have cemented themselves as the largest industry in India as their joint collections of five films surpassed with Rs. 1851 Crore.
KVN Productions has been at the forefront of the industry with back to back hit projects. Their fourth project was announced in a grand way in bangalore. For the first time ever, a pan-India movie, ‘KD – The Devil’, that was conceptualised in Karnataka, was unveiled amidst the actors, producer and director of the project.
The event took place in Orion Mall, Bengaluru and was attended by stalwarts from Bollywood and the Kannada film industry like Sanjay Dutt, Dhruva Sarja, director Prem, KVN head Suprith, Rakshitha and music director Arjun Janya presided over the event and launched the most awaited title teaser.
The specialty of ‘KD – The Devil’s title teaser is that it is voiced by stars from Kannada, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam film industry. Director Prem has himself voiced the Kannada version, while Sanjay Dutt, Vijay Sethupathi and Mohanlal have voiced the Hindi, Tamil and Malayalam versions respectively. This is a feat that hasn’t been achieved in the Indian Film Industry before. The action part title teaser launch sets its own benchmark as it marks the maiden Pan India project from the Kannada Film Industry. With powerful visuals and music, it sets the pace for ‘KD – The Devil’.
Speaking at the event, director Prem shared, “Wherever good exists, bad exists too. For example, when Rama existed, Ravana existed too. The film has similar lines. The film is not only a bloody gory story but it has a romantic and moral line to it. This film is entirely different from ‘KGF’ and ‘Pushpa’.“
Dhruva Sarja shared, “Sanjay Dutt is a legendary actor. The ‘KD’ teaser might be visually strong but it caters to the family audience. I’m confident about ‘KD’ and the verdict will be delivered by the audience.”
Sanjay Dutt shared, “I’m really looking forward and I wish the team all the best and KVN Productions. I feel I’m going to work more in South Indian films so thankyou again Prem sir and KVN Productions and everybody and please enjoy the teaser.”
Actress Rakshitha said, “The event wouldn’t be complete without Sanjay Dutt Sir. The support of Mr. Anil Thadani is immense. This film will be a new beginning for Dhruva Sarja.”
Suprith, KVN Productions head said, “The film is high on content. Prem sir has been thinking in a very big manner for this project. Prem sir has a knack for creating a huge craze for every project that he works on. We couldn’t have asked for a more dedicated actor than Dhruva Sarja.”
The title teaser offers a glimpse into the vintage world that is showcased in ‘KD – The Devil’. The teaser showcases the first look of the notorious Kaali, played by Dhruva Sarja.
