Pradeep Raj: Kichchu Is About Dhruva, But He Is Not Around To See It

Late Dhruva Sharma worked for director Pradeep Raj in their film Bangalore 23. At that time the filmmaker got impressed with the speech-and-hearing impaired actor and decided to take him into another collaboration. The film Kichchu is about the struggles of people in the Bhadra forest region to safeguard its green cover and touches upon Naxal activities as well.

Alas! A tragedy happened when Dhruva passed away shortly after the team had wrapped up primary filming. The director said, “I was devastated. Kichchu is about Dhruva and he is not around to see how the film has turned out. The film was ready to be released months ago, but I could not bring myself to do it. But then someone said that I should release the film and honour the hard work Dhruva had put into it”.

The film is produced by Ruby Sharma and Pradeep Raj, is also featuring Abhinaya who has a similar impediment.  Kichchu hits theatres today and the director believes that it will show Dhruva in a different light. Ragini Dwivedi plays an integral part in the narrative, as Abhinaya’s sister, a coffee plantation worker who also works for the betterment of society.
