What happens

Viraattt is a 2016 Indian Kannada-language action drama film directed by H. Vasu and written by M. S. Ramesh. The film, produced by C. Kalyan under Theja Cinemas banner, features Darshan in the lead role. whilst newcomers Vidhisha Srivatsav, Isha Chawla and Chaitra Chandranath play the female lead characters. P. Ravi Shankar, Suhasini Maniratnam and Sumalatha play crucial supporting roles. V. Harikrishna has composed the soundtrack and background score, while the dialogues and screenplay were written by M. S. Ramesh. The film which was earlier slated for a 2012 release underwent significant delays during the making due to the earlier producer and director tussles which ended up in the producer Sandesh Nagaraj walking out of the film. The film was eventually shelved and later was taken up by C. Kalyan, a Tollywood-based producer. Viraattt was released on 29 January 2016, where it received mixed to negative reviews from critics and became a box-office bomb. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
