Late actor Punit Rajkumar’s final film, “Gandhada Gudi – Journey of a True Hero,” which was a box office success, will premiere on an OTT platform soon.
Gandhada Gudi will be hosted on Amazon Prime Video on March 17th, 2023, the actor’s birth anniversary. The docu-feature film was written and directed by Amoghavarsha, an award-winning wildlife photographer filmmaker, and produced by Ashwini Puneeth Rajkumar under the banner of PRK Productions in partnership with Mudskipper.
The film depicts how Mega superstar Dr. Puneeth Rajkumar teamed up with Amoghavarsha, a passionate wildlife filmmaker, to embark on a fascinating musical journey to explore the wonders of his homeland. The film’s title, which translates to “the abode of Sandalwood,” alludes to a time in the early 70s when rampant sandalwood smuggling threatened the valuable forest wealth of the region. The film is a Kannada cinema classic remembered for its exquisite music and cinematography.

The story of “Gandhada Gudi” revolves around a group of forest rangers tasked with protecting wildlife in a forest, facing challenges from poachers who hunt animals for their valuable parts. The film’s message of conservation and the importance of protecting the environment is renowned.
In this docu-feature film, Appu, as the late actor was widely known, uniquely explores Karnataka by discussing the state’s ecosystem. Amoghavarsha captures the biodiversity of Karnataka through the lens of Prateek Shetty, presenting it from a fresh perspective. Despite being a documentary, the film has sufficient drama and emotions to keep viewers engaged for the entire 98 minutes.
Starting at the Nagarhole National Park, the film takes us on a journey to showcase the state’s beauty, moving through Gajanurum BR Hills, places in coastal Karnataka and the Deccan, the Tungabhadra river, and Malenaadu. It concludes at Kushavali, the birthplace of the Kali river. This film represents Appu’s passion for honest filmmaking without commercial considerations.
