Plane Crashes at Kathmandu Airport in Nepal

Charming star Sharwa is all set to appear as a professional motorcycle racer in his upcoming film Biker, directed by Abhilash Reddy under the UV Creations banner. The film is gearing up for a grand theatrical release on April 3rd.

Director Abhilash Reddy says Biker is designed to deliver a complete 100% theatrical experience. “We shot the film in Dolby Vision. Everyone who watched the trailer especially appreciated the sound design. The film will offer a powerful big-screen ride,” he said.

The story spans across two timelines. “In the 90s, two-stroke bikes were very popular, but they no longer exist today. Recreating them took a lot of effort. We shot the racing sequences in Indonesia, and bringing those bikes back to India was a huge process. We also roped in racers from New Zealand and Australia,” he added.

He further revealed the real inspiration behind the story. “India had a veteran racer named Shyam Kothari, but he never received the kind of fame that Kapil Dev earned in cricket. My intention was to highlight that a talent like Shyam Kothari deserves similar recognition. Though the story is fictional, some racing elements are inspired by real events,” he explained.

Abhilash also praised Sharwa’s remarkable transformation. “Sharwa lost nearly 23 kg for this role. From the moment I narrated the story, we were clear about the biker’s look. He took a six-month break to prepare physically and mentally. His performance is outstanding. Even he feels this is the best film of his career, and we are confident it will be a blockbuster.”
