It is not every day that a newcomer-led project gets five days of booking windows, but filmmaker Simple Suni’s upcoming sci-fi social thriller Lambodhara 2.0 starring Anil Shetty seems to have made an impression early on the trade desks. Backing the ambitious bilingual project, theatrical heavyweight PVR INOX Pictures has picked up the distribution rights of the film ahead of its theatrical bow on November 13.
Presented by Mahaveer Jain Films and produced under the MASS Production banner, Lambodhara 2.0 stars Anil Shetty. Sharing screen space with him is Bollywood actor Kunal Kapoor, who makes his Kannada debut with the film, alongside Saachi Bindra. However, the film's most unusual billing belongs to JIA, a humanoid robot credited as a cast member rather than being rendered through visual effects.
Directed by Suni, known for his offbeat relationship dramas, the film leans into a high-concept that explores a world dictated by artificial intelligence, automated algorithms, and digital interfaces. The narrative examines how modern technology impacts human happiness, reshapes day-to-day emotional equations, and challenges the concept of free will. Suni treats the sci-fi backdrop with his signature sensibilities, blending situational comedy, romance, family dynamics, and a strong social message meant for family audiences.
Having a major distribution network on board provides the film with extensive theatrical access across Karnataka as well as select pan-India circuits. With ticket windows already active nearly a week ahead of its release date, Lambodhara 2.0 is gearing up for its release this week.
