Music composer Arjun Janya has stepped into the director’s chair for the first time with his debut film, 45, bringing together Kannada stars Shivarajkumar, and Upendra, along with Raj B Shetty in one frame. Recently, Arjun gave fans a glimpse of what’s to come by unveiling the looks of Shivarajkumar and Upendra while keeping Raj B Shetty’s character shrouded in mystery. This suspense was finally lifted with the release of Raj’s teaser around Deepavali, quickly generating excitement.
The teaser introduces Raj B Shetty in a quirky, comedic role that has already charmed fans. It opens in dramatic black and white, showing Raj’s character in a corporate suit facing off with two intimidating rowdies who try to scare him with knives. But Raj’s response flips the script: with a smirk, he says, “Don’t try to touch me—my brother sent me to karate class when I was young,” and then proceeds to show off his karate skills, adding a humorous twist to the scene.
