Even before the release of his debut film Gowri, Samarjit Lankesh is making significant strides in the advertising industry. His good looks and charming personality have landed him multiple offers. This weekend, he is flying to London to shoot an advertisement for a Mumbai-based brand.

Samarjit has already been featured as a model in advertisements for Sudarshan Silks, a popular apparel brand. Hoardings featuring him have appeared across Bengaluru, and the advertisements have been regularly featured in newspapers over the past few weeks.

The actor, son of director Indrajit Lankesh and grandson of Kannada literary and journalism giant Lankesh, is making his film debut in *Gowri*, directed by his father. Despite being a newcomer, he is already gathering a large female fan following and is often mobbed during the film’s promotions. *Gowri* is slated for release on August 15.

*Gowri* is a youth-oriented commercial film that has been generating buzz since its announcement. The film’s songs have captivated audiences, and two more tracks from the album, penned by K Kalyan, were released earlier this week. The movie is named after Indrajit’s elder sister, the late journalist and activist Gauri Lankesh. In a touching tribute, Indrajit has dedicated one of the songs to his sister. This song portrays Gauri’s journey through a series of unseen photos paired with evocative lyrics by K Kalyan and music composed by Jassie Gift, featuring vocals by Kailash Kher.

Indrajit clarified that the film is not based on Gauri’s life, though he named it after her as a tribute. “The visuals and lyrics serve as a homage to Gauri. However, the film is not about her. It is a youth romantic thriller, and I chose to name it after my sister to honor her memory,” he explained.

The second song, ‘Muddada,’ a romantic number, was unveiled by Sada and Dhyan, who starred together in Monalisa, directed by Indrajit 20 years ago. Gowri also marks the debut of Sanya Iyer.
