Play all audios:
Pruthvi Ambaar, known for his sensitive and introspective performances in films like _DIA_, is aiming to redefine his screen identity with his next film. While _KOTHALAWADI_ already hinted
at a shift, his role in director Chandrashekar Bandiyappa's _CHOWKIDAR_, a Kannada-Telugu bilingual, is pegged to mark his most radical transformation yet. The teaser places Pruthvi
Ambaar front and center in a brutal new avatar with blood streaked across his face and eyes filled with both rage and sorrow. He steps into a character that feels far removed from his
earlier work. “This is a man who has seen too much, and carries it all in silence,” says director Chandrashekar Bandiyappa, and adds, “Pruthvi didn’t just act the part—he absorbed it.” Known
for his quiet intensity, Ambaar conveys depth without excess. In _CHOWKIDAR_, his transformation appears not only physical but also emotional and philosophical. The teaser hints at a man
caught between violence and morality.
