Dheeren’s avatar in our next will wow audiences, says director Sandeep

For the first time, actor Dheeren R Rajkumar and director Sandeep Sunkad are joining forces for the new film Pabbar. The movie will also feature Dheeren alongside Amrutha Prem. Back with his second directorial venture, Sandeep says, “Pabbar is an adventurous crime thriller set in the remote hill stations of Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh. Pabbar, the name of a valley in Himachal Pradesh, is also central to the film’s narrative. I met Dheeren during the Shakhahaari screening. We admired each other’s work, and our desire to collaborate has now materialised in this story and character-driven movie. We aim to create it without unnecessary commercial frills, lacing it with nature and realistic elements.”“Aiming to broaden the audience reach, I’m staying true to my strengths by crafting this film in a world cinema style. Dheeren has been diligently preparing for his role for the past few months, shedding nearly 12 kilos. I’m confident audiences will embrace his new look. We’re set to begin filming this month,” he says.
