The first look motion poster of Darshan's upcoming film, Roberrt, was released on the festive occasion of Christmas, and it started trending on social media within hours of its release. 

“Everyone was curious about Darshan’s look in Roberrt,” says director Tharun. The film’s first poster, which had Darshan as a Hanuman, was released last Christmas followed by two more posters which were revealed on Ramzan and Deepavali, respectively. 

“It is nice to celebrate our films during festivals, and I didn’t find a better day than Christmas to reveal Roberrt's motion poster,” he says, about the minute-long video which shows elements that set the tone for the film, such as Darshan wielding a gun and a truck in the background.

Roberrt has been shot in various locations in Puducherry, Lucknow, Bengaluru, Mysuru, Hyderabad, and Chennai. The team has just come back from Varanasi, where they canned some important portions. 

“In the 105-day shooting schedule, we are now left with two song sequences to shoot, which we plan to resume on New Year's Day. This will be followed by another track, and that will wrap up the film,” says Tharun.

The film is produced by Umapathy Films, and the crew includes music director Arjun Janya and cinematographer Sudhakar S Raj. Roberrt marks the debut of actor Asha Bhat in Kannada cinema. It also features Jagapathi Babu as the antagonist. Vinod Prabhakar and Chikanna play prominent roles as well.

Roberrt, one of the most anticipated films of 2020, is likely to get a summer release.
