Interesting facts
Gandubherunda is a 1984 Indian Kannada-language adventure drama film directed by Rajendra Singh Babu. It features an ensemble cast and is inspired by the 1969 American film Mackenna's Gold. The plot follows an epigraphist and a geologist who embark on a hunt for an ancient treasure on an island called "Hasta Dweepa", linked to the 700-year-old Bherunda kingdom. The film is considered "technically brilliant" and was ahead of its time, although it did not perform well commercially upon its release. The 1987 Hindi film Khazana was partially based on this film. It was also the first collaboration between Srinath, Ambareesh and Shankar Nag.
Production
Ambareesh suggested to director Rajendra Singh Babu that he wanted a tiger fight in the film, and Babu reluctantly agreed. Ambareesh, however, was nervous about the fight and consumed alcohol to calm his nerves.
