Shooting for Darshan’s Roberrt has been wrapped up. The film has Tharun Kishore Sudhir wielding the megaphone for the Challenging Star, and a 180-member crew spent 108 days across various schedules to complete the shoot in Bengaluru.

The project is bankrolled by Umapathy Srinivas Gowda under the banner, Umapathy Films. It is already into the post-production stage, and the makers are looking at a summer release, targeting April 9 as the release date.

Talking about his journey with Roberrt, Tharun said, “Most people are surprised about how we could finish such a big project in this time span, and many of them have given the credit to my planning. But I believe that planning is done by all the directors. However, it can be executed only when two people support it — the hero and the producer. In this case, I was lucky. Both Darshan and producer Umapathy trusted me, and stood by me.”

The emotional action thriller is being made on a huge budget and boasts of a bevy of stars, including Jagapati Babu as the antagonist, and Asha Bha in her Kannada film debut. The cast also includes Vinod Prabhakar, Sonal Monteiro, Ravi Kishan, Chikkanna, and Shivaraj KR Pete who will appear in prominent roles.

The film has been shot in Puducherry, Lucknow, Bengaluru, Mysuru, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Varanasi.

Roberrt, which went on floors in June last year, has Arjun Janya composing the music and Sudhakar S Raj handling the camera, while KM Prakash is taking care of the editing.
