Interesting facts

Landlord is a 2026 Indian Kannada-language action drama film written and directed by Jadesh K Hampi, and produced by K. S. Suraj Gowda and K. V. Sathyaprakash under the Sarathi Films banner. It Began Digital Streaming From March 19th 2026 in Zee5.

Production

After a 14-year hiatus, Sarathi Films returned to production with Landlord as their flagship project under director Jadesh Kumar Hampi and producers K. S. Suraj Gowda and K. V. Sathyaprakash. The film was conceptualized to be a socially relevant action‑drama, weaving themes of rural injustice and resistance into a period setting.

By late January 2025, approximately 75% of the filming was complete, covering key sequences across Nelamangala, Mangaluru, Tumakuru, and parts of Uttara Karnataka to capture authentic landscapes. The production wrapped up all shooting schedules by August 2025, after nearly eight months of work, and subsequently moved into post-production, including editing and music composition by B. Ajaneesh Loknath.

Duniya Vijay was signed early as the lead, drawing on his rural roots to embody the protagonist. Rachita Ram joined as a young constable pivotal to the plot, while theatre veterans like Umashree and Achyuth Kumar were cast for authenticity. Raj B. Shetty came on board as the antagonist after discussions about the character's emotional depth and period look; he agreed to wear a wig to suit the director's vision.
