Adhipatra was Bigg Boss Kannada Season 9 winner Roopesh Shetty’s (Govinda Govinda) first major K annada release after his stint on the show. It came on the back of his successful run as director with the Tulu film Circus, but unfortunately, it did not create the same magic at the box office. The film had Roopesh in cop mode in a tale set in a coastal town. It was initially said that Adhipatra, which came out in early February, would be headed to Prime Video like most other Kannada films.
But according to the latest, it is Sun Network that has procured the satellite and digital rights of the film written and directed by Chayan Shetty. The network has set a tentative streaming date for the film, which is likely to change, but at the moment, June 13, 2025 is when Adhipatra will drop on Sun NXT. It will be available on OTTplay Premium as well. The film also stars Jahnavi Mahadi, Prakash Thuminad, Deepak Rai Panaje, Raghu Pandeshwar, Prashant Nata and MK Mata, among others.

All about Adhipatra
Adhipatra is a murder mystery that unfolds in the forests of coastal Karnataka. Roopesh plays Athreya, a police officer charged with investigating a spate of murders that are being attributed to a Brahma Rakshasa. Athreya, though, is not convinced that a demonic power is at play and sets out to find what, or rather, who is really responsible for these deaths. Jahnavi plays a journalist who is also hoping to get to the bottom of this mystery.
Although Jahnavi was the leading lady of the film, the fact that she was not the romantic interest was an aspect that was lauded about the film. However, the rest of the elements were said to be predictable, offering no novelty. Roopesh is yet to announce a new project in Kannada, but he has already moved on with his next directorial, a Tulu film called Jai, a political thriller that brings Suniel Shetty to the industry.
