AR Sairam, who has previously worked as a dialogue writer in around 18 films, for 14 years, is all set to make his directorial debut with Dhairyam Sarvathra Sadhanam. The film is gearing up to hit the big screens on February 23. According to the first-time filmmaker Sairam, Dhairyam Sarvathra Sadhanam is based on a real incident, which took place in a remote village of Koratagere taluk.
“The film, revolving around a father and a son, is a real-life incident which took place in my native in the 1960s. Growing up, I often listened to stories about this incident in my village which highlights the father’s fight for survival, and I thought it would be the best subject for my film. Though the subject is of the 60s, I have modified it to take place in 2015-2017, with changes made to the story, accordingly,” says the debutant director.
Produced by Anand Babu G, Dhairyam Sarvathra Sadhanam stars newcomer Vivan KK, Anusha Rai, and Balaraj Wadi in significant roles along with Vardhan Theethahalli, Rama Naik, Pradeep Pujari, Ram Pawan, and theatre artist Arjun Palegar in supporting roles. Judah Sandy has scored the music, and Ravi Kumar Sana has handled the cinematography for the film.
