The New Indian Express Bengaluru

July 10, 2025

Following the two stylish retro looks of Dhananjaya, the makers of 666 Operation Dream Theatre unveiled Shivarajkumar in a commanding and retro-stylish avatar.

- A SHARADHAA

Dressed in a dark checkered three-piece suit, vintage tie, and revolver in hand, Shivanna channels the charisma of a classic noir detective or gangster, with a slick hairstyle, a sharp moustache, and a piercing gaze. His stride is purposeful, his presence magnetic, hinting at a character who's as stylish as he is dangerous.

The warm orange and amber-lit backdrop of glowing film strips evokes a nostalgic cinematic feel. The visual tone complements the film's title, reinforcing drama, illusion, and mystery. The stylized title font, paired with the number "666," adds a coded, enigmatic edge, suggesting espionage or a secret mission. The film's countdown campaign, featuring Morse codes, ticking bombs, spy gadgets, and high-speed chases, has already teased an adrenaline-filled cinematic world.
