Directed by Vikrant Rudra and featuring Vijaya Rama Raju and Sija Rose in lead roles, the film traces the life of Arjun Chakravarthy, a tenacious kabaddi player who represented India during the 1980s. His story mirrors the struggles of countless athletes who played with passion but were denied the recognition, financial stability, and institutional support routinely afforded to mainstream sports.

The film’s release is strategically significant: it arrives on National Sports Day, commemorated in honour of hockey legend Major Dhyan Chand, and coincides with the kick-off of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL). The makers say this alignment is intended to amplify the celebration of India’s sporting spirit.

“This film is more than cinema; it is a salute to kabaddi and to every athlete who fought for recognition against overwhelming odds. We are proud to bring Arjun’s inspiring story to audiences at such a meaningful time,” said Srinivasa Rao Gubbala, Producer.

The film has been branded as the ‘Journey of an Unsung Champion’ and is already riding high on international acclaim. It has secured 46 awards at global film festivals, including notable honours in Canada and Los Angeles—an uncommon feat for a kabaddi-based sports drama in Indian cinema.
