The film Black Sheep, made with new talents, is set for release. As part of its first promotional phase, the teaser, trailer, and song were launched at SRV Theatre.
Jeevan Hallikar, who has previously worked as a choreographer for Hare Rama Hare Krishna featuring Sruthi Hariharan, paired with Charmee Kaur in Dev Son of Mudde Gowda, and as a dance choreographer for Ellige Payana Yavudo Daari, has now taken on the roles of story writer, screenplay writer, director, and dance choreographer for this film.
Produced under Glitterrr’s Star House Productions by Ashwini Gurucharan—who has also taken responsibility as the costume designer—the film is co-produced by Manjunath P. Rao.
Speaking at the event, the director stated that the story moves through five genres and two threads, covering crime, suspense, and thrill. Inspired by Upendra, the narrative includes scenes set in the past and present. Some real incidents have been adapted into the storyline. The word ‘genre’ itself served as the title due to its rhyming nature. The plot deals with how a person forgets certain incidents in the conflict between the hero and the villain and how he begins to search for the forgotten aspects of his life. The curiosity remains until the climax. The film also includes mafia elements. Shooting took place in Bangalore, Mangalore, and Bombay.
Vishal Kiran, a fitness model, plays the lead role of a CBI officer. Shivangi Dave is the female lead. Prashanth V. Hari plays the antagonist. The cast also includes Nisha Hegde, Sidlungu Sridhar, Krishna Hebbale, Sundar Veena, Puneet, and Deepika Adtale.
Songs written by Abhijit Mahesh and Shailesh Kumar have been composed by Siddharth Kamath. Cinematography is by Devu, editing by S. Akash Mahendrakar, and stunt direction by Avatar Aditya.
