Bhogi First Look: Sharwanand Unveils Ferocious Avatar; Pan-India Release Locked for August 28, 2026
Actor Sharwanand joins hands for the first time with filmmaker Sampath Nandi for the ambitious period action drama Bhogi. Produced by KK Radhamohan under Sri Sathya Sai Arts and presented by Lakshmi Radhamohan, the film is being mounted on a large canvas and is positioned as one of the most daring projects in the actor’s career. The makers have now revealed a striking first-look poster.
A Gritty, Battle-Hardened Transformation
The first look presents Sharwanand in a raw and uncompromising avatar. With a thick beard, heavy moustache, and untamed curls, he exudes a battle-scarred intensity. Seated behind a massive, rustic blade wrapped in cloth, the character’s presence suggests a world shaped by conflict and survival.
A smoky, ember-filled backdrop complements the film’s fiery tone and aligns with its bold tagline, “A Blood Fest.” The visual signals a dramatic reinvention—marking a departure from Sharwanand’s earlier screen personas and ushering in a rugged, mass-driven characterization.
Set in the Late 1960s Borderlands
Director Sampath Nandi situates the narrative in the late 1960s along the North Telangana–Maharashtra border, crafting a socio-cultural backdrop steeped in intensity and unrest. The team is currently filming key sequences in Hyderabad, including two elaborate action blocks choreographed by renowned stunt master Dilip Subbarayan.
Cast & Technical Crew
The film features Anupama Parameswaran and Dimple Hayathi as the female leads, alongside a notable supporting ensemble.
Technical credits include:
- Production Design: Kiran Kumar Manne
- Cinematography: Kishore Kumar Arokia
- Music: Bheems Ceciroleo
Release Date Confirmed
The makers have announced a grand pan-India theatrical release on August 28, 2026, coinciding with Raksha Bandhan. The film will release simultaneously in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi, underscoring its multilingual ambitions.
With its rugged first look, period setting, and action-heavy canvas, Bhogi positions itself as a high-stakes entry in Sharwanand’s filmography.
