Arjun Sarja's latest directorial venture 'Prema Baraha' is all set to release on the 9th of February. The film will be releasing along with Chiru Sarja's 'Samhaara'.

'Prema Baraja' marks the debut of Arjun's daughter Aishwarya to Kannada cinema. Earlier, Aishwarya made his debut in 'Pattathu Yaanai' which was released in 2017. Now she is all set to make her debut in Kannada with 'Prema Baraha'. Chandan is the hero. Rangayana Raghu, Sadhu Kokila, Prakash Rai and others play prominent roles in the film. Darshan, Arjun Sarja, Dhruva Sarja and Chiranjeevi Sarja are seen in a special song.

'Prema Baraha' is derived from Arjun Sarja's song 'Prema Baraha Koti Taraha' from 'Pratap'. The song was a hit and Arjun has used the first two words of the song as the title. Arjun Sarja himself has written the story and screenplay of the film. Jessie Gift is the music director, while H C Venu is the cinematographer.

Just hours before Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) is to hold an all-important meeting over 'me too’ allegations especially concerning Sruthi Hariharan, multilingual actor Arjun Sarja has approached the court filing Rs 5 crore defamation suit against the actress.

He has approached the court citing that the actress has made false allegations and has in turn maligned his character and image. Sources say that the actor has even urged for restraining order against Sruthi from making any further statements until the matter is decided by the court.

The court is expected to hear the matter today or tomorrow.

The gentleman, and the 'Action King’, as he is fondly known by his fans across South Indian film industry, Arjun Sarja got his best birthday gift ever! It was none other than his daughter Aishwarya Arjun who gifted him the present which came all the way from Somnathpur in Gujarat.

The star who recently celebrated his birthday, was at surprise when his daughter along with others in family gifted him a cow, which they had it transported all the way from Gujarat.

The cow which is now carrying and soon to deliver, is being taken care in the action king's farm house. Named as Punyakoti, Arjun Sarja was elated after witnessing the gift, saying that it was his best birthday gift ever.

His daughter Aishwarya Arjun, who recently made her debut in ‘Prema Baraha’ directed by none other than her father, is being lauded by netizens for gifting her father a meaningful present.

The #MeTooIndia movement is at its peak with big names have started to tumble down with bigger revelations on an everyday basis. 

Just days after actress radio jockey turned actress Nethra revealed her #MeToo story followed by Sangeetha Bhat sharing her ten years long ordeals without naming anyone, now it's renowned actress Sruthi Hariharan of Lucia fame who has opened up on her #MeToo. She has accused one of the biggest stars of South Indian film industry - Arjun Sarja, who she says sexually harassed her during the shooting of a bilingual film - Vismaya in 2016.

“Honestly, I have been lucky as I have managed to escape physically and mentally scarring situations. However, in late 2016, there was one incident that left me startled and took a while for me to recover,” Sruthi shares.

About the particular incident, she writes: “I was shooting for a bilingual film which starred Arjun Sarja. A man whose movies I have grown up watching. I was excited about the opportunity. The first few days seemed normal, I played his wife in the film and that day we were to do a romantic scene where we had to hug each other after a brief dialogue. During the rehearsal, we delivered our lines and Mr. Arjun hugs me. With no forewarning or permission, he runs his hands intimately up and down my back. He pulls me closer with my body taut against his and asks the director if we could use this idea of foreplay in the scene. I was aghast. I am all for depicting realism in cinema, but this felt absolutely wrong. His intent seemed anything but professional. I hated that he did it and angry that I didn't know what to say then.”

On why she chose to talk about it now, she goes on to add, “I choose to come out now, because henceforth I think Mr. Arjun Sarja needs to make sure he doesn't cross the thin line between two actors and use his position of power to cause another person discomfort or hurt”.

“I choose to do this publicly - as this movement is more than you and me and our individual experiences. It is a collective voice to question an existing system of power play and to call a spade for what it is. The point is to be part of a larger battle against years of female oppression and abuse. It is a movement to make sure no man ever takes a woman's personal space for granted, whoever she is to him.”

Action King Arjun Sarja, who is accused of sexual harassment by actress Sruthi Hariharan, has approached High Court seeking to quash the FIR registered against him by the Cubbon Park police. It may be recalled that 'Chitraloka’ had recently reported that the actor is most likely to approach HC.

The actor who has filed the petition in the HC on Tuesday has prayed for interim order, to stay all further proceedings in the matter or direct to save the actor from any kind of coercive action by the police such as arrest, detention, restraint and so on.

Arjun in his petition states that the Sruthi has theatrically woken-up after three years and alleged to cost the dignity of a dignified person. 

“While an assembly of few persons identified with fanatic orientations were openly seen moving and acting for her in the wild pursuit, though the society at large vouched in support of Arjuna Sarja,” the petition states.

The actor goes on to state that his reputation has been badly hit due to fabricated lies against him and has also caused huge damage to him and his entire family. 

He also adds that the actress has filed the complaint after he filed a defamation suit of Rs 5 crore against the actress, and that the additional tailor made allegations were made in the complaint which were missing in her Facebook post with the hashtag 'me too’. 

The petition also states that the complaint and the FIR contents clearly shows that there were clear conspiracy to misuse the cyber space. There are several other aspects mentioned in the petition which states that it is a malicious act to defame him and his reputation.

Action King Arjun who is one among the millions of followers of Sri Dr. Shivakumara Swamiji, the head seer of Siddaganga Mutt, has expressed his grief over the sad demise of swamiji.

The actor says that he had the opportunity to serve (paada seve) the ‘walking god’, a couple of years of ago. “Paramapujya Sri. Shivakumara Swamiji took birth with a sole purpose to serve the mankind. I cannot digest the fact that Swamiji is no more. Not just Tumakuru, the entire state of Karnataka is in deep sorrow with the loss of such a divine and godly soul,” says Arjun Sarja.

He goes onto pray for the entire community of Swamiji's followers for strength, to bear the loss and further shared that swamiji will always be present through his service and will keep blessing all of us.

Actor-director Arjun Sarja says he had overreacted regarding the review of 'Prema Baraha' and doesn't want to react about it.

Earlier, there was news that Arjun was upset about reviews and ranking for his 'Prema Baraha'. Arjun had even said that he was upset, but didn't prolong it further. On Saturday, during the success meet of the film, the actor that he was upset, but should not have overreacted regarding the reviews.

'I was upset about the reviews. I have not made a cheap film. But the kind of reaction and reviews from one section of the media was really saddening, But I should not have overreacted regarding the news' said Arjun Sarja.

Within hours after actress Sruthi Hariharan made one of biggest revelation to hit the sandalwood following the ongoing #MeTooIndia movement, accusing one of the popular south Indian star actors - Arjun Sarja, the actor has refuted the allegations saying that he is shocked and is in total disbelief.

The actor has said that he will take the legal course by filing defamation case against the actress.

Meanwhile, the actress has hit back saying that she has proofs to prove her charges against the actor who made her feel discomfort during the rehearsals for the shooting of the film Vismaya in 2016.

I have proof and I will come out with it when needed, Sruthi has said.

Around Sarja has also urged the actress not to use #MeToo, which has been a great platform for cheap publicity.

If you are looking for an unusual film that is different from the regular run of the mill that comes out of Sandalwood, Game is the film for you. It is a suspense film with loads of thrills and a few chills as well. It is like the thrillers that come out of Hollywood. A very rare kind of film in Kannada.

Almost the entire film takes place in one night. Of course there are quite a few flashbacks to give the film a perspective. A dead body goes missing in a mortuary. The security guard is scared and runs away only to meet with an accident. The police investigation team arrives and takes stock of the strange happenings. The husband of the dead woman is the only suspect. He is summoned to the forensic lab. After his arrival, more strange things begin to happen.

It is a tight story and screenplay with a fast paced narrative that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. The background score and songs by Ilayaraja adds magic to the film. 

This is Manisha Koirala's first Kannada film and she gives a professional performance. Arjun Sarja is on the top of the game. He gives a brilliant performance as the investigation officer.

Game is a new kind of film for Sandalwood that will thrill all kinds of audience. Enjoy the show.
