Mangaluru: The first-look poster of actor-filmmaker Roopesh Shetty’s upcoming Kannada film ‘Boys’ has been unveiled, offering a glimpse into a youthful story that appears to revolve around friendship, travel and cherished memories. The film is directed by Kishore Rathnam and features Roopesh Shetty in the male lead, with Raadhya playing the female lead.
The poster hints at a road-trip adventure, setting the tone for a story centred on youthful experiences and the bonds shared between friends. While the makers have revealed the film’s first look, further details about its storyline, supporting cast and release date are yet to be announced.
Roopesh Shetty takes the lead
Roopesh Shetty, who has established himself as an actor and filmmaker in the Kannada entertainment industry, headlines ‘Boys’. His involvement in the project adds to his ongoing slate of Kannada films and other creative commitments.
Known for his work in Tulu and Kannada cinema, Roopesh has built a following among audiences in coastal Karnataka. His association with regional cinema has contributed to his recognition as a performer and filmmaker, particularly among viewers who follow the Kannada and Tulu film industries.
With ‘Boys’, the actor takes on another lead role in a Kannada-language production. The film’s first-look poster introduces its youthful setting, suggesting a narrative that could appeal to audiences interested in friendship-driven stories and coming-of-age experiences.
Raadhya has been cast as the female lead. However, the makers have not yet disclosed details about her character or the nature of her role in the story.
Kishore Rathnam directs the film
‘Boys’ is directed by Kishore Rathnam, who will lead the project’s creative execution. The film’s title and first-look poster suggest a focus on the experiences of young people, with friendship and travel appearing to be central elements.
The road-trip imagery associated with the first look offers a possible indication of the film’s visual setting and narrative direction. Such stories often explore relationships, personal discoveries and the experiences that shape friendships over time. However, the precise plot of ‘Boys’ remains under wraps, and the makers are yet to share an official synopsis.
The film is produced by Channa Keshava BC of Kundagol under the Mahati Pictures banner. The production house is presenting the project, which brings together the cast and crew for another Kannada-language film.
Further announcements from the production team are expected to provide more information about the film’s supporting cast, shooting schedule and other production details.
Ravi Basrur joins the project as music composer
One of the notable names associated with ‘Boys’ is composer Ravi Basrur, who is handling the film’s music.
Basrur is widely recognised for his work in Kannada cinema and his ability to create music that complements a film’s mood and storytelling. His compositions have featured in several prominent productions, earning him recognition among audiences beyond Karnataka.
His involvement in ‘Boys’ brings an established musical name into a project that appears to explore youthful relationships and memorable experiences. The soundtrack could play an important role in establishing the film’s atmosphere, particularly if the road-trip theme forms a significant part of the narrative.
The makers have not yet released details about the film’s songs, background score or music launch. Information about the soundtrack is expected to emerge as the project progresses towards its next promotional phase.
First look offers a glimpse into the film’s theme
The unveiling of the first-look poster marks an early promotional step for ‘Boys’. Although the makers have kept the storyline largely undisclosed, the poster provides audiences with an initial impression of the film’s tone and setting.
The themes suggested by the title and promotional material — friendship, travel and memories — are familiar elements of youth-oriented cinema. Their appeal often lies in portraying shared experiences, personal relationships and the moments that remain significant long after a journey ends.
For now, the first look serves primarily as an introduction to the film and its principal cast. The makers are yet to confirm whether the narrative will combine comedy, romance, drama or other elements alongside its apparent road-trip theme.
The film also brings together a director, producer and music composer with Roopesh Shetty in the lead, creating interest among audiences following his Kannada projects.
Release date and further details awaited
‘Boys’ is among Roopesh Shetty’s ongoing Kannada film projects, alongside his other acting and directorial commitments. With the first-look poster now unveiled, attention is likely to turn towards further promotional material and announcements from the production team.
The makers have not announced an official release date or provided a detailed account of the film’s production status. Details regarding the supporting cast, trailer launch and music release also remain awaited.
For audiences in coastal Karnataka and Kannada cinema followers elsewhere, the project adds another title to Roopesh Shetty’s filmography. More information about the story and its characters will help establish the film’s direction as the promotional campaign develops.
Until then, the first-look poster offers the initial glimpse of ‘Boys’, a Kannada film that appears poised to explore youthful friendships and the memories created along the way.
