Geetha Pictures has dropped two gripping posters for their latest venture, Pabbar, marking their fourth production under the banner. Captioned "PRODUCTION #4 #PABBAR | Thrilling journey has begun…", the visuals hint at a rugged, intense narrative set against a mountainous backdrop. The posters were released alongside tags and mentions for lead actor Dheeren R Rajkumar, Rutha Prem, director Sandeep Sunkad, and the creative collaborators, fueling excitement among Kannada film audiences.
In a unique cultural gesture, lead actor Dheeren R Rajkumar recently changed his name after a spiritual visit to the Koragajja temple in Karnataka—an act that echoes Tulu traditions reminiscent of Kantara. This personal transformation might reflect deeper thematic elements within the film, possibly exploring regional beliefs and mystical undertones rooted in South Indian culture.
Set near the Pabbar River in Himachal Pradesh, the film appears to draw visual and thematic inspiration from the real-world Pabbar Valley—home to the Shikru Devta fair and rich in folklore and rural traditions. The stark landscape shown in the posters, combined with the spiritual references, suggests a narrative that could blend elements of adventure, identity, and local mysticism.
Produced by Geetha Pictures, a prominent South Indian production house affiliated with Geetha Arts, Pabbar aligns with the studio’s commitment to culturally resonant storytelling. Known for embracing tradition while adapting to modern formats—evident in ventures like the OTT platform Aha—Geetha Pictures seems poised to deliver yet another compelling and grounded cinematic experience.
