The Kannada film industry is gearing up for one of its most ambitious projects yet. Titled 666 Operation Dream Theatre, this high-voltage spy thriller is already creating massive buzz months before its scheduled release in late 2025. Directed by the acclaimed Hemanth M. Rao and starring two powerhouses of Kannada cinema – Dhananjaya and Shiva Rajkumar – alongside the charming Priyanka Mohan, the film promises to blend classic espionage aesthetics with raw emotional storytelling.

A Stylish Throwback to the 1970s Espionage Era

Imagine the gritty glamour of 1970s spy classics – sharp suits, vintage cars, smoky backrooms, and international conspiracies – but reimagined through a distinctly Indian lens. That’s the world 666 Operation Dream Theatre invites audiences into. Set against a retro backdrop, the film pays homage to the golden age of spy thrillers while infusing modern cinematic energy.

Director Hemanth M. Rao, known for his gripping narratives in films like Godhi Banna Sadharana Mykattu and Sapta Sagaradaache Ello, has crafted a story that goes beyond typical action fare. Early reports suggest the film explores complex themes of loyalty, betrayal, and personal sacrifice, wrapped in sleek, stylish packaging.

Dhananjaya and Shiva Rajkumar: A Dream Team Collaboration

For fans of Kannada cinema, the real excitement lies in seeing Dhananjaya (DA) and Shiva Rajkumar share the screen. Dhananjaya, riding high after blockbuster performances in Tagaru, Badava Rascal, and Head Bush, brings his intense, layered acting style to the table. Meanwhile, Shiva Rajkumar – the evergreen superstar and a living legend – adds gravitas and star power that few can match.

This marks a rare big-screen collaboration between two actors from different generations, making 666 Operation Dream Theatre a landmark event. Priyanka Mohan, fresh from her successful Tamil and Telugu projects, joins as the female lead, expected to play a pivotal role that balances strength and emotional depth.

Bilingual Ambition with Pan-Indian Appeal

Produced as a Kannada-Telugu bilingual, the film is strategically positioned to attract audiences beyond Karnataka. With Hemanth M. Rao’s universal storytelling style and a genre like spy thriller – which has proven mass appeal across India (War, Pathaan, Tiger series) – the makers are clearly aiming for a pan-Indian footprint.

The mysterious title 666 Operation Dream Theatre itself has sparked curiosity. While official plot details remain under wraps, insider whispers hint at psychological warfare, dream manipulation, and high-stakes global missions – elements that justify the intriguing codename.

Why 2025 Could Belong to This Film

In an era where Kannada cinema is breaking barriers with films like KGF, Kantara, and Salaar, 666 Operation Dream Theatre feels like the next evolutionary step. It combines commercial ingredients – star power, high production values, and a universally loved genre – with the director’s signature emotional authenticity.

If the film delivers on its promise, it could very well become the defining spy thriller of Indian cinema in 2025.

With shooting already underway and a late-2025 release locked, the countdown has begun. Kannada cinema enthusiasts – and spy thriller lovers across India – finally have a mission worth waiting for.

Mark your calendars. Agent 666 is coming.
