Action star Dhruva Sarja, eagerly anticipating the release of his so-called pan-India film Martin on October 11 and KD The Devil in December, has discussed the Renukaswamy murder case, involving Darshan and others, for the first time. Darshan, along with few others co-accused, is in the confines of Parappana Agrahara Central Prison. Speaking solemnly about the sensitive matter to a particular section of the media during his public meet on Sunday, Dhruva Sarja asserted, "When someone faces hardship, our response should not be impulsive. This is about families; Darshan sir has a son, and Renukaswamy had loved ones too." He further remarked, "No one, not even a king, stands above the law. Let the judiciary determine the course. We must refrain from hasty reactions. Nevertheless, Renukaswamy and his kin deserve justice."

Turning to his upcoming project Martin, the film directed by AP Arjun and produced by Uday K Mehta, Dhruva Sarja shared insights into its upcoming promotions. "We plan to unveil either the introductory song or the first trailer soon, based on audience feedback," he revealed. Billed as an action drama, Martin, which has consumed a lot of time for shooting, is currently in post production. The story penned by Dhruva Sarja's uncle, Arjun Sarja, Martin, which is set to release in Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Hindi has background score by Ravi Basrur and music by Mani Sharma. The film also has cinematography by Satya Hegde and action sequences choreographed by stunt masters Ram-Lakshman and Ravi Varma. The film also stars Vaibhavi Shandilya in a lead role, along with Anveshi Jain, Sukruta Wagle, Nathan Jones, Rubiel Mosquera, Achyuth Kumar, and Malavika Avinash, among others. It is scheduled for release on October 11.
