Team Pinaka unveiled a special poster showcasing the actor Ganesh’s intense new look from the film, to mark the special occasion of his birthday, and the look is certainly a departure from Ganesh’s previous roles. He is said to appear in multiple shades, including that of a tribal king from 600 years ago. This warrior-like portrayal and its backdrop hint at the character’s look and feel, exudes a fierce and commanding presence. Behind him stands a group of soldiers, ready for battle, adding to the warrior-like atmosphere of the poster.

Pinaka is directed by choreographer-turned-director Dhananjay, who is making his directorial debut with this project. The film is backed by a TG Vishwa Prasad's People Media Factory, known for his large-scale ventures across South India.

The shoot is currently underway on an expansive, intricately designed set near Nelamangala, where key sequences are being filmed. The production team has constructed elaborate sets to match the film’s grand narrative, which blends action, emotion, and strong character arcs.

Nayan Sarika stars opposite Ganesh as the female lead, bringing a fresh on-screen pairing. The supporting cast includes Rangayana Raghu, Ravi Shankar Gowda, and Giri Shivanna.

The technical crew includes cinematography by Hari K Vedantam and art direction by Santhosh Panchal. Pinaka will also be a bilingual film in Kannada and Telugu and is likely to feature South Indian actors Jagapati Babu and Sunil as part of the ensemble cast. An official announcement is expected soon.
