Actor Siddu Moolimani, who has carved a distinct niche with his performances across films like Rangi Taranga, Vikrant Rona, Dharani Mandala Madhyadolage, and Abhiramachandra, has announced his next outing titled Dear Baby. The makers officially unveiled the first glimpse of the film out on the D Beats Music World channel, offering an preview into a story billed to be inspired by true events.

Written and directed by newcomer Pruthvi Ram PM, Dear Baby is produced Local Talkies, with Sumedha S Athreya on board as executive producer.The short teaser sets a somber, suspenseful tone right from the outset, leaning into provocative taglines that read: “The night that altered many fates” and “A price on hope, a profit from business.” The lines hint at a premise wrapped around human vulnerability, illegal trades, and moral compromises where personal desperation meets cold commerce. With music melody scored by composer Navaneeth Sham, the film's cinemattography by Ganesh Mahabala stars Ananya Amar opposite Siddu, alongside a supporting cast drawn from seasoned theatre and indie circuits, including Veera, Shrunga BV, Medini Kelamane, Rekha Kudligi, Baby Yashika, and Narayana Swamy.
