Aishwarya Rajesh Makes Kannada Debut in Dhruva Sarja–Rachita Ram’s Criminal

Aishwarya Rajesh has officially joined Dhruva Sarja and Rachita Ram in Criminal, directed by Rajguru and produced by Manish Shah. Originally expected to debut in Kannada with Uttarakhanda, the delay of that film now makes Criminal her first Kannada outing — and her first collaboration with Dhruva Sarja.

Set in a rural backdrop, Criminal blends high-intensity action with emotional drama, inspired by real events. The title teaser has already revealed a gritty tone, hinting at a story that’s both raw and charged. Rajguru, who made his debut with Kerebete, returns with his second directorial.

The film will release in Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Hindi, with music by Chandan Shetty, cinematography by Ravi Varma, and action by Vikram Mor. An official announcement on Aishwarya’s role is expected soon.
