Hyderabad, March 6 – The makers of director Sampath Nandi's explosive action drama, 'Bhogi', wished the film's hero, Sharwanand, a very happy birthday on Friday by releasing a special poster of the actor from the film and by revealing that he plays a character named Ganga in the eagerly awaited action thriller.
Sri Sathya Sai Arts, the production house producing the film, posted the special poster on its social media accounts. They wrote, "Meet Ganga – a storm born in silence, a rage waiting to erupt. The world will soon witness his fury in #Bhogi. The #Bhogi team wishes Charming Star @ImSharwanand a very Happy Birthday. A #SharwaSampathBloodFest. In Cinemas from August 28, 2026."
The makers also unveiled a special poster of Sharwanand. With thick, messy hair and a dense beard, Sharwanand looks rugged and rebellious in this poster. The actor is seen smoking a beedi, which adds to his attitude. His face appears slightly sweaty and textured, enhancing the gritty realism of the character. With a stern expression and a sharp gaze, he hints at a fierce and uncompromising personality.
Sources close to the unit say that the shooting of the film, which has the tagline “A Blood Fest”, is progressing at a brisk pace.
Director Sampath Nandi is shaping the film against a rugged period setting, unfolding along the North Telangana–Maharashtra border during the late 1960s. The story is rooted in that era, promising a raw and intense backdrop that adds depth to the narrative.
The film’s shoot is presently happening in a massive set in Hyderabad, where the team is canning a high-octane action sequence.
Anupama Parameswaran and Dimple Hayathi play the female leads, while several notable actors appear in important supporting roles.
On the technical front, the project boasts an accomplished crew. Production design is by Kiran Kumar Manne, cinematography is by Kishore Kumar Arokia, and music is by Bheems Ceciroleo.
Planned as a pan-India release, the movie will hit the big screens in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi on August 28, coinciding with the festive occasion of Raksha Bandhan.
