Pramod’s most massy film to date, Bond Ravi, in theatres this December

Pramod was a few films old, with movies like Geetha Bangle Store, Premiere Padmini and Matthe Udhbhava to his credit, when Rohit Padaki’s Rathnan Prapancha came out. The film was led by Dhananjaya, but Pramod’s role as Udal Babu was one of the biggest talking points. Since Rathnan Prapancha, life has been on the upswing for Pramod, who signed up for films like the commercial action entertainer Bond Ravi, English Manja, a rowdyism based subject, a campus comedy called Alankar Vidyarthi and an untitled travel film with Pruthvi Ambaar and Rachel David, among others.

Most recently, though, he was in the news after confirming rumours that had been doing the rounds for a while. Pramod is currently working on Prashant Neel’s Salaar. The actor is playing a pivotal role in the Prabhas starrer and confirmed that most of his roles are with the Telugu super star, as well as with Malayalam star Prithviraj. Incidentally, the call to be a part of Salaar came to the actor after Rathnan Prapancha, a film, which seems to have well and truly changed his career trajectory.

Mwanwhile, back home, his film Bond Ravi is now ready for release. Pramod took to social media a little while ago to announce that the film, directed by Prajwal SP, and has Kajal Kunder as the female lead, will be in theatres on December 9. At the moment, two other Kannada movies are in the fray for a share of the box office, namely Dr 56, which has Priya Mani leading an investigative story and Vijayanand, the biopic of transport and media baron Vijay Sankeshwar.

The film, which has music by Mano Murthy and cinematography by KS Chandrashekar, is the directorial debut of Prajwal SP, who has assisted filmmakers like S Mahendar, Prashant Raj and Kantha Kannalli earlier. An action-based love story, the film also stars Ravi Kale, Ravi Prakash, Shobraj, and Vijay Chendoor, among others.
