BENGALURU: The second song from Sandeep Sunkad’s much-awaited film ‘Pabbar’, starring Dheeren R Rajkumar in the lead, has been released recently. The film is produced by Geetha Shivarajkumar under the banner Geetha Pictures. Composed by Mayur Ambekallu, the song has been sung by Anurag Kulkarni and Meghna Haliyal.
Speaking at the launch of the song, Shivarajkumar said, “We should never compromise on filmmaking. Geeta is extremely meticulous in every aspect of the production, especially the food. The story of ‘Pabbar’ is very sensitive and it is a pleasure to make such a natural film in the midst of today’s excessive glamour. Dheeren and Amrita Prem bring life to their characters. When it came to the song ‘Balegaara’, I kept quiet so that the freedom of the director would not be affected, but when Sandeep himself came and asked me, I accepted it very happily. The film is slated to release on December 11 2026 and ‘Pabbar’ is sure to be a treat for the audience.
Producer Geetha Shivarajkumar said, “The more I hear this song, the more I want to hear it again. When director Sandeep and Dheeren came and narrated the story, we liked it so much that we decided to produce it through Geetha Pictures. The entire team including Dheeren, Amrutha, the technicians and the production team put in a lot of hard work in the freezing cold of North India.
Hero Dheeren gets emotional and says, “My elder uncle Shivanna and Geetha aunty are in the position of grandparents for me. For me, who was looking for many opportunities, he fulfilled a big dream by announcing this film on the day of my grandmother’s birthday. It’s a sensitive character that seeks my own existence beyond the big name of my family, for which I reduced my weight from 75 kg to 63 kg. We shot for one-and-a-half years from the harshest winters like Kinnaur in Himachal Pradesh to 45-degree sunny Varanasi, Jaipur and Coorg, Mysore and Kasargod.
Heroine Amrutha Prem shared her happiness and said, “I danced to the song ‘Bhagyada Balegaara’ at the school anniversary. Now sharing the screen with Shivanna sir in the same song is the most special moment of my life. Initially, I was apprehensive about acting to suit his energy, but Shivanna made me feel very comfortable.
Director Sandeep Sunkad explained the scope of the film, “We shot the film at 10 locations in just one city. But since the story of ‘Pabbar’ is so vast, we shot in about 165 locations in 14 districts. Shivanna’s’ Balegara ‘song adds to the pace of the film, giving a new twist to the story. ‘Sakhahari ‘was appreciated by crores of people on OTT, but it could not reach many people in the theater. This time, ‘Pabbar’ has been prepared for the big screen experience and the audience should come to the theatres and watch the film, “he said.
