Bharjari Gandu (transl. Vivacious Man) is a 2024 Indian Kannada-language romantic drama film written, directed and co-produced by Prasiddh. The film stars Kiran Raj and Yasha Shivakumar in the lead roles.[1] The film's music is composed by Gummineni Vijay and cinematography is by Kitty Koushik.
The film went on floors in 2021 under the title Bahaddur Gandu and took three years to finally release on 5 April 2024 after changing the title.[2][3] The filming took place in villages surrounding Chamarajanagar district such as Yelandur, Sathyagala and Vaddagere. Upon release, the film met with critical response from critics and failed to impress the audience.[4]
Aakash visits a village with a history of over 100 years and falls in love with Jyothi, a culturally driven girl. As he tries to resolve pressing issues like drought, the story moves from a rural setting to the city, depicting college life and romance before returning to the village. The film explores themes of rural romance, friendship, and the plight of farmers.

Production
In February 2021, it was reported that director Prasiddh, who debuted with Ratnamanjarii (2019) has begun his second venture titled Bahaddur Gandu starring Kiran Raj, making his first appearance on big screen after having starred in few television series.[5][6] The film was reported to go on floors from 11 March 2021. The film was announced as a tribute to the 1976's classic film of the same name starring Dr. Rajkumar. However, on 27 November 2021, it was reported that the film makers were planning to change the title so as to not rake up the grief after the demise of Puneeth Rajkumar.[7]
