Aditi Balan has been cast as Agent Kaveri in filmmaker Hemanth M Rao’s spy drama 666: Operation Dream Theatre. She joins the previously announced cast, including Shivarajkumar and Dhananjay. Aditi, who worked briefly as a lawyer before acting, gained national fame with her debut in Aruvi. She later starred in Padavettu and Captain Miller, where she received praise for her ability to portray complex and powerful characters.
The first look at Agent Kaveri has sparked interest. Clad in a simple saree and holding a gun, she gives off an air of quiet authority. Her presence feels subtle yet dangerous, suggesting that her character may have hidden depths.
The team behind 666: Operation Dream Theatre has been revealing characters one by one, each introduction offering a peek into the film's secretive world. Previously, Shivarajkumar appeared as Agent Prakash, a name that references the legendary spy role portrayed by Rajkumar in the classic Operation Diamond Racket.
Actor Dhananjay has also joined as Agent Shankar, further expanding the film’s lineup and raising excitement about the interconnections among these characters. Produced by Dr Vaishak J Gowda under Vaishak J Films, the project also features Priyanka Mohan in a significant role.
The film has just finished its fifth shooting schedule and is moving on to the next phases of principal photography before post-production commences.
The crew includes composer Charan Raj, cinematographer Advaitha Gurumurthy, production designer Vishwas Kashyap, and costume designer Inchara Suresh.
Designed as a large-scale production, this spy drama is set to be released in both Kannada and Telugu, with a theatrical debut aimed for the second half of 2026. With the addition of Agent Kaveri, the film's roster of operatives grows, hinting at a mission that could hold many surprises.
