The trailer of Rakkasapuradhol puts Raj B Shetty at the centre of a brooding investigative mystery, with the film set for a February 6, 2026 theatrical release.
A Cop Fighting His Own Demons
Running about 2 minutes 36 seconds, the trailer introduces Shetty as a shabby, unconventional police officer battling alcoholism—returning to duty after treatment and immediately signalling his dependency by asking about the nearest bar.
A Murder Shakes a Low-Crime Town
The case kicks in when the daughter of an influential local figure is murdered in a town known for minimal crime. As the investigation unfolds, the trailer teases multiple possibilities, including mysterious—and potentially supernatural—threads.
Cast and Crew
Directed by debutant Ravi Saranga (who has assisted director Prem), the film also stars Swathishta Krishnan, Archana Kottige and Gopalkrishna Deshpande, with stunt director K Ravivarma/Ravi Verma credited as producer across reports.
Editing Style Note
One review pointed out the trailer’s old-school, rapid-cut editing—a stylistic choice that may be divisive—but the core hook is firmly anchored in Shetty’s conflicted, unpredictable lead performance.
