The highly anticipated Kannada film 45 has officially concluded its filming, marking a significant milestone for the star-studded project. This pan-Indian venture, produced by Suraj Productions, has been generating considerable buzz since its announcement.
The film boasts a formidable cast, featuring Dr. Shivarajkumar, Upendra, and Raj B. Shetty, who have come together under the direction of acclaimed music director Arjun Janya, making his directorial debut.
At a recent press conference, the cast and crew expressed their excitement about the project. Dr. Shivarajkumar lauded the film’s unique blend of action and emotion, while Upendra praised the innovative storytelling techniques employed by Arjun Janya. Raj B. Shetty expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to collaborate with such legendary actors.
Arjun Janya, the film’s director, likened *45* to a temple, with the cast and crew representing its pillars. He emphasized the meticulous planning and execution that went into the 106-day shoot.
Producer Ramesh Reddy expressed his satisfaction with the film’s progress, crediting the team’s dedication and the exceptional performances of the lead actors.
With post-production underway, 45 is poised to be a cinematic spectacle that will captivate audiences across India. As fans eagerly await its release, the film’s creators promise a groundbreaking experience that will redefine the action genre.

Actor Upendra mentioned “I’ve heard of animated storytelling only in Hollywood, but Arjun Janya has made it a reality in Kannada cinema. Not only did he use animation to convey the story, but he also translated that vision into the film itself.”
Actor Raj B Shetty stated, “I’ve always been a fan—watching Shivanna’s films and whistling in theaters, and being awestruck by Upendra’s A posters. To now share the screen with them is truly a blessing.”
Music Director turned Director Arjun Janya said, “If 45 is a temple, then Shivarajkumar, Upendra, and Raj B. Shetty are like Brahma, Vishnu, and Maheshwara, and Ramesh Reddy is the one who built this temple.”
Producer Ramesh Reddy said, “When Arjun narrated the story, he had initially planned to visualize it through animation. After seeing the animated version, I was convinced that this would be a landmark film.”
