What is "viraat"

Viraat is a 2016 Indian Kannada-language action film directed by H. Vasu and written by M. S. Ramesh. The film, produced by C. Kalyan under Theja Cinemas banner, features Darshan as the lead protagonist whilst newcomers Vidhisha Srivatsav, Isha Chawla and Chaitra Chandranath play the female lead characters. P. Ravi Shankar, Suhasini Maniratnam and Sumalatha play crucial supporting roles.

V. Harikrishna has composed the film's music and background score. The dialogues and screenplay is written by M. S. Ramesh.

The film which was earlier slated for a 2012 release underwent significant delays during the making due to the earlier producer and director tussles which ended up in the producer Sandesh Nagaraj walking out of the film. The film was eventually shelved and later was taken up by C.Kalyan, a Tollywood based producer. The film finally released on 29 January 2016.
