What happens

Kshana Kshana is a 2007 Indian Kannada language crime thriller film directed by Sunil Kumar Desai and produced by B. S. Thirumalai. The film stars Aditya, Prema and Kiran Rathod in the lead roles with actor Vishnuvardhan appearing in an extended cameo role. The film was released on 2 June 2007 across Karnataka to a positive response from the critics. However upon release, the film generally met with average reviews from critics. The core storyline of the movie - the protagonist, a well-known person in his/her profession, fearing that he/she is being targeted by an unknown person who wants to kill him/her for his/her past unknown deeds, hiring a detective/bodyguard who in turn fakes few attacks on the protagonist to gain his/her confidence and finally the original assailant turning out to be a person very close to the protagonist - is loosely based on Sidney Sheldon's first novel The Naked Face (1970).
