Bigg Boss 7 contestant Priyanka Shivanna, who gained popularity with her negative shaded-role as Chandrika in Kannada TV series Agnisakshi, is set to mark her silver screen debut with Fantasy.

Pavan Kumar, who has previously worked as an associate director in films like Samhaara, Amma I Love You, Damayanti, and Aadya, will make his debut with Fantasy.

Interestingly, Priyanka will be portraying a role with a negative shade in her first film as well. “I wanted to start my film career with a unique character, and chose to play a role with grey shades,” says Priyanka.

The psychological horror thriller penned by Pavan, who is also backing the project, is set against the backdrop of Madikeri and tries to blur the lines between fantasy and reality. The film also features Bala Rajwadi, child artist Anurag S Patil, and Gaurish Akki in prominent roles. Music is composed by Ganesh Narayan, and PKH Dass is serving as the cinematographer.

The film is expected to hit the theatres on September 2.
