Allu Aravind’s Surprise Move: Kannada Hero Gets Big Advance

In movies, things can turn on a dime, one call, one meeting, and suddenly everything changes. That seems to be the case with Kannada actor Dheekshith Shetty. Before his latest film, The Girlfriend, even hits the theaters, Tollywood’s big producer Allu Aravind has already given him an advance for another movie. Fans and insiders are buzzing, this is not something that happens every day.

Allu Aravind of Geetha Arts has always had a knack for spotting talent early. Apparently, while The Girlfriend was still being shot, he saw some rushes and liked what he saw. The result? Dheekshith now has another project lined up under the same banner. The details about the story or the director aren’t out yet, but the news itself is enough to make people curious and excited.

Dheekshith’s journey hasn’t been overnight. He started with Kannada TV serials, moved to films, and slowly caught the audience’s attention. Telugu viewers first noticed him in Dasara as Nani’s friend. It was a small role, but it left a mark. Talking about the recent advance, he said, “I honestly didn’t expect it. After seeing some of our shoot footage, Allu Aravind garu said he wanted to do another film with me. That was a big moment.”

Getting a second project from a top banner like Geetha Arts before the first film’s release is rare. It shows how much faith Aravind has in Dheekshith. Now, everyone’s waiting, which director will get the chance, what the story will be, and how Dheekshith will carry this new opportunity. For now, it’s clear this Kannada hero’s journey in Tollywood is just getting interesting.
