The trailer of the Kannada paranormal-horror film “Kamarottu 2” was recently released and has generated curiosity among viewers. The film, which belongs to a rarely explored genre in Kannada cinema, is scheduled to release on August 1. It is produced by Pavan Gowda and directed by A. Paramesh. The film team shared details at a press conference.
Director Paramesh stated, “Earlier, I directed a film titled ‘Kamarottu Check Post’, which was a rare attempt in the Kannada paranormal genre. It was made as a technical experiment, and it had no known actors, yet it found success. ‘Kamarottu 2’ is the sequel, and it also falls under the paranormal-horror category. The film was shot in and around Udupi, Mangaluru, and Chikkamagaluru. After hearing the story, producer Pavan Gowda agreed to back the project. Priyanka Upendra is playing a character she hasn’t portrayed before. There was initial uncertainty about whether she would accept the role, but she agreed after hearing the narration. Ananthaswamy, known for his work in Kannada serials like ‘Mithuna Rashi’ and Tamil television, is part of the cast.”
Rajani Bharadwaj, known for her role as Mogra in ‘Choo Mantar’, is also part of the film. The cast includes Neenasam Ashwath, Nagendra Aras, Mahesh Raj, Baby Khushi, and others. Raghavendra Rajkumar appears in a special role. The film has music by A.T. Ravish and cinematography by Prajwal Gowda.
Speaking at the event, Priyanka Upendra said that she liked the story narrated by the director and found her character interesting. She noted that the film has been made with quality and that such projects should be encouraged in Kannada.
Ananthaswamy said that when Paramesh narrated the story to him while he was acting in serials, he was happy to accept the offer and is hopeful the audience will receive his role well. Rajani Bharadwaj shared that while she couldn’t reveal much about her role, the filming experience was positive. Neenasam Ashwath said that his character in this film is different from anything he has done so far and may not be easy to guess.
Producer Pavan Gowda mentioned that support from the technical team and actors helped bring the film to completion. He said this is his first production and that he named his banner Kanasu Pictures as a fan of actor Ravichandran. The film is set for statewide release on August 1, and he requested public support.
