Charming Star Sharwa is set to surprise audiences with a powerful transformation in his upcoming pan-India period action drama Bhogi, directed by Sampath Nandi. The makers unveiled the film’s first-look poster, presenting Sharwa in his most rugged and intense avatar yet, instantly creating strong buzz across the Telugu film industry and beyond. Mounted on a grand scale by producer KK Radhamohan under Sri Sathya Sai Arts and presented by Lakshmi Radhamohan, Bhogi is shaping up to be one of the biggest and most ambitious projects in Sharwa’s career.
The first look showcases Sharwa with an unkempt beard, thick moustache and wild curly hair, reflecting a raw, battle-hardened character. Seated behind a massive machete-like weapon wrapped in cloth, the actor’s fierce expression hints at a violent and emotionally charged world. The dark, smoky backdrop with floating embers adds to the gritty tone, aligning with the film’s fiery tagline, “A Blood Fest.” The visual signals a complete reinvention of Sharwa’s on-screen image, presenting him in a full mass and rugged avatar that fans have not seen before.
Director Sampath Nandi has set the story against a powerful period backdrop along the North Telangana–Maharashtra border in the late 1960s. The film promises high-voltage action blended with intense drama rooted in a raw and violent era. The team is currently filming major action episodes in Hyderabad on specially erected massive sets. These sequences are being choreographed by stunt master Dilip Subbarayan, known for crafting large-scale and impactful action blocks.
Bhogi stars Anupama Parameswaran and Dimple Hayathi as the female leads, with several well-known actors playing key roles. The project brings together a strong technical team, with Kishore Kumar Arokia handling cinematography, Kiran Kumar Manne overseeing production design, and Bheems Ceciroleo composing the music. The combination of a high-concept period setting, stylized action and a rugged lead transformation has already raised expectations among fans and trade circles.
The makers have confirmed a grand theatrical release on August 28, 2026, coinciding with Raksha Bandhan. The film will release simultaneously in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi, marking it as a major pan-India offering. With its intense first look, ambitious scale and a striking new avatar for Sharwa, Bhogi is positioned as a high-impact mass entertainer aimed at audiences across the country.
