Bengaluru: A jubilant atmosphere enveloped the birthday festivities of Roopesh Shetty, the victor of the previous season of Bigg Boss Kannada.

Amid the celebrations, the spotlight was stolen by a momentous revelation – the announcement of his upcoming Kannada cinematic venture, "Adhipatra".

Following his triumphant conquests in Bigg Boss Season 9 and the preceding Bigg Boss OTT edition, speculation had been rife concerning Shetty's trajectory in the film industry.

The veil has now been lifted, and the moniker of his acting endeavor unveiled as "Adhipatra".

The contemporary trend of kindling intrigue through the title itself finds resonance in this forthcoming film, wherein Roopesh Shetty takes on the mantle of the protagonist.

The mere mention of "Adhipatra" provokes a torrent of questions about its connotation, with the production team adeptly safeguarding most details, including the essence of the title.

The cinematic undertaking is slated to be produced under the aegis of KR Cine Combines, with directorial duties entrusted to Chayan Shetty. The announcement was accompanied by a cascade of revelations from the film's creative ensemble, hinting at a plethora of captivating concepts poised to captivate the audience in the imminent future.

Roopesh Shetty, who has etched his presence in diverse spheres of the Tulu film industry as an actor and director, reflected on his journey, stating, "Through relentless dedication, I ventured into the realm of Bigg Boss and emerged victorious."

Forecasts of Shetty's ascendancy as a leading figure in the Kannada film milieu post his Bigg Boss victory had long been in the offing. However, Rupesh Shetty is now poised to unfurl a distinctive narrative, portraying a character that diverges from the anticipated trajectory.

The lingering query of why Rupesh Shetty deferred his foray into Kannada cinema, despite clinching the laurels of a prominent reality show like Bigg Boss, has not escaped the public's curiosity.

The answer lies in his concurrent directorial engagement with the Tulu film "Circus", which recently graced the silver screen with resounding success. Notably, "Circus" claimed the distinction of being the first Tulu film to grace over a hundred and fifty cinema halls.

Transitioning to the realm of "Adhipatra", the cameras are poised to roll in September, marking Shetty's concentrated endeavor to forge his path in the Kannada film domain.

As Roopesh Shetty embarks on this novel odyssey, "Adhipatra" assumes an aura of anticipation, promising a unique and riveting addition to his cinematic repertoire.
