Interesting facts

Annavru is a 2003 Indian Kannada-language crime drama film directed by Om Prakash Rao starring Ambareesh in the title role alongside Darshan, Kaniha, Suhasini and Sumihtra in supporting roles. The film is a remake of Mani Ratnam's Tamil film Thalapathi. The film released to positive reviews and was a box office success.

Production

Darshan and Ambareesh were to reprise Rajinikanth's and Mammootty's roles from the original, respectively. It is the Kannada debut of Kaniha. The film was initially titled Dalapati but it was later changed to Annavru to please Ambareesh's fans. Ambareesh was against the name change because Annavru was used to refer to Dr. Rajkumar, but the makers of the film were insistent to not change the film back to its old title.
