In a move that surprised the entertainment world, director Prem facilitated a much-anticipated meeting between two cinema heavyweights: Darshan Thoogudeepa and Sanjay Dutt. Amidst earlier announcements of Darshan and Prem's reunion for a significant project this year, speculation reached fever pitch. 

The last time Darshan and Prem collaborated was a whopping 21 years ago on the iconic film Kariya. With Prem currently immersed in the production of KD-The Devil, starring Dhruva Sarja, and Sanjay Dutt essaying a pivotal role in the same, fans and cinephiles are left wondering: could this meeting signal Sanjay Dutt's involvement in Prem's upcoming Darshan venture? 

We'll need to wait for an official confirmation to see if there's any truth to the rumors.

The gathering was organized by KVN Productions in collaboration with Prem. Also present at the meeting were key figures from KVN Productions, including producer Venkat Konanki, Suprith, the operations head of KVN, as well as Rakshitha, the former actress and Prem's wife. 

Notably, it's KVN Productions that is financing Prem's project KD-The Devil, featuring Dhruva Sarja, Reeshma Nanaiah, Nora Fatehi, Sanjay Dutt, and Shilpa Shetty in prominent roles.

Challenging star Darshan’s upcoming Projects

Darshan's latest film, Kaatera, marks his most recent release. Presently, he is immersed in the filming of Raja Veera Madakari Nayaka, helmed by director SV Rajendra Singh Babu and produced by Rockline Venkatesh. Noteworthy composer Hamsalekha has lent his musical talents to this historical drama, which delves into events from the eighteenth century.

Although the project initially commenced in 2019, it encountered several setbacks before resuming production momentum. Following the completion of Raja Veera Madakari Nayaka, rumors suggest that Darshan will reunite with Prem for their next venture. Their previous collaboration, a successful gangster film in 2003, has heightened anticipation for their potential reunion.
