Dharma Keerthiraj who is known as the Chocolate Hero in Sandalwood is now slowly turning action hero. A few months back the actor had signed a film called 'Khadak'. Now the actor will be seen in another action thriller called 'Talwar'.

'Talwar' was recently launched at the Sri Dharma guru Manjunath a Swamy Temple in Banashankari 2nd Stage and actor Darshan had come over as the chief guest and sounded the clap for the first shot. M G Ramamurthy, Yadhas Surya, Keerthiraj and others were present at the occasion.

'Talwar' is an underworld subject and is produced by cinematographer Suresh Byrasandra. Murali, who had earlier directed 'Mumtaz' is directing the film apart from scripting it. Kabir Singh Duhan, Aditi Rao and others play important roles in this film.
