'It focuses on welfare of farmers': Actor Prajwal Devaraj on 'Cheetah'
Actor Prajwal Devaraj discusses his big-budget film Cheetah, where he plays a labourer focusing on farmer welfare.
Kannada superstar Prajwal Devaraj has shared exciting details about his highly anticipated upcoming project, 'Cheetah', describing it as a massive, content-driven cinematic experience that puts the plight and welfare of farmers at its heart.
Speaking to the media during a recent appearance in Chitradurga, the actor revealed that his role in the film marks a significant departure from his usual characters, as he will be portraying the life of a labourer.
A Blend of Mass Appeal and Meaningful Content
According to Devaraj, 'Cheetah' is designed to be a big-budget spectacle that does not sacrifice substance for stardom. He noted that the film aims to balance commercial elements, such as high-energy songs and mass-appeal sequences, with a deeply rooted story centered on the agricultural community.
"My upcoming project, 'Cheetah', is a big-budget film that focuses on the welfare of farmers. I play the role of a labourer in it," Devaraj stated. "The film features mass-appeal elements and songs; it is a content-driven movie. I am deeply interested in such projects. We are combining all these elements, and it promises to be a major film in my career."
Grand Scale and Elaborate Sets
The scale of the production is evident in its technical execution. Devaraj shared that the production team went to great lengths to create an authentic atmosphere, constructing a massive set to replicate the iconic K.R. Market. This sprawling set was built across two acres within the HMT factory premises to ensure the film's visual authenticity.
The film features a talented ensemble cast, including:
- Sunil
- Sruthi Hariharan
- Megha Shetty
Directed by Raja Kalai Kumar and produced by Prathiba Naresh under the Rajalakshmi Entertainment banner, the movie is generating significant buzz within the Kannada film industry.
Devotion and Prayers for the Agricultural Community
Beyond his cinematic updates, Devaraj was in Chitradurga to participate in the Hindu Maha Ganapati Shobha Yatra, an event organized by the Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad. During the festivities, he was felicitated by District In-charge Minister T Raghumurthy and MLA K C Veerendra Pappy.
The actor expressed his joy at finally being able to join the massive celebration, which draws lakhs of devotees. He also took a moment to offer heartfelt prayers for the state's farmers, acknowledging their vital role in society.
"I pray to Vighna Nivaraka for the farmers of the state that he should give timely rain and crops and protect them. It is because of them that we eat food. We exist if they exist," he remarked emotionally.
While the excitement for 'Cheetah' continues to build, the makers have yet to announce an official release date for the film.
