Grand Teaser Launch of Pan-India Film “45”

Grand Teaser Launch of Pan-India Film “45” Featuring Shiva Rajkumar, Upendra, and Raj B Shetty – Gearing Up for a Theatrical Release

The much-awaited teaser of the pan-India film “45” was launched in a grand event in Hyderabad. Starring powerhouse performers Shiva Rajkumar, Upendra, and Raj B Shetty in lead roles, this ambitious project is produced by Smt. Uma Ramesh Reddy and M. Ramesh Reddy under the Suraj Production banner.

What makes “45” even more special is that acclaimed music director Arjun Janya is making his directorial debut with the film. Blending deep-rooted themes of Sanatana Dharma with powerful commercial storytelling, “45” is being positioned as a unique cinematic experience never seen before in Indian cinema.

Producer M. Ramesh Reddy shared:

 “Thank you to everyone who made the teaser launch of ‘45’ a grand success. We’ve put our heart and soul into this film. I truly believe this story is one-of-a-kind and highly relevant in today’s times. ‘45’ is packed with everything audiences love. I’ll reveal more during the trailer launch.”

Director Arjun Janya said:

 “It’s an honor to direct legends like Shiva Rajkumar, Upendra, and Raj B Shetty. When I narrated the story to Shiva Rajkumar, he encouraged me to direct it myself and that confidence brought me here. Every scene in ‘45’ was pre-visualized right from visuals to dialogues and background score. This approach helped save both time and budget.Shiva Rajkumar plays a never-before-seen character. Despite health issues, he gave his all. Upendra, as always, is a director’s delight and brings great depth to his role. The screenplay of ‘45’ will truly stand out.”

Actor Upendra added:

 “Arjun Janya has shown me in a completely fresh avatar. When he narrated the story at my home, he thought my casual look was perfect for the role! There’s even a creative callback to my film ‘Om’ in the script.

 I’m proud to see Arjun step into direction after composing for 100+ super-hit films. Working again with Shiva Rajkumar, after ‘Om’, feels special. ‘45’ has everything—class, mass, suspense, and entertainment. Also, working with Rajinikanth and Nagarjuna in ‘Coolie’ recently has been another high point for me. Rajini sir will always be my Ekalavya Guru.”

Shiva Rajkumar shared:

 When Arjun narrated the story in just a few minutes, I was immediately on board. I told him he had to direct it himself—no one else could do justice to it.

 It’s always a pleasure working with Upendra. He’s cinema-obsessed and incredibly talented. Even during my cancer treatment, I made sure to complete the shoot because of the love I have for this film.

Raj B Shetty couldn’t make it to the event, but all three of us play equally powerful roles. The story is the real hero of ‘45’. Arjun Janya will definitely earn a big name as a director with this film.
