“The KGF land… it is not just ordinary land. The land has a lot of mythological and historical significance,” Ranjith said. “When I started delving into the history and folklore of the region, I discovered a treasure trove of stories about the people who lived there, their struggles, and their beliefs.”
Actress Malavika Mohanan, who plays Aarti in the film, discussed her role. “I think the most challenging part of this film for me was that every aspect of the character I’m playing, Aarti, was hard and challenging.”
