At the pre-release event of the highly anticipated film Martin, Kannada actor Dhruva Sarja made a heartwarming and emotional gesture by kneeling before his audience, showing immense respect and gratitude. The event, held in Karnataka’s Davanagere on October 6, 2024, marked a special day not only for the film but also for Dhruva, as he celebrated his 36th birthday with fans.
Martin, an action-packed thriller written by action king Arjun Sarja and directed by A P Arjun, stars Dhruva Sarja alongside Vaibhavi Shandilya. The film is backed by powerful music from composers Mani Sharma and Ravi Basrur, with cinematography by Satya Hegde and editing by KM Prakash. Produced by Uday K Mehta under the Vasavi Enterprises banner, the film is set for a theatrical release on October 11, 2024.
At the event, Dhruva’s emotional connection with the crowd was evident as he bowed and knelt before them—a gesture typically reserved for a deity in a temple. This act of humility struck a chord with the audience, who have been eagerly awaiting Martin’s release. Dhruva, visibly moved, addressed the crowd by saying, “Let all of your blessings be on me. It is my birthday today, so let the blessings of all the mothers here be on me.”
The moment was even more poignant as Dhruva paid tribute to his late brother and fellow actor, Chiranjeevi Sarja, and the beloved Kannada Superstar, Puneeth Rajkumar, both of whom continue to hold a special place in the hearts of fans.
Martin’s action teaser, which dropped on February 23, 2023, has already set high expectations, amassing over 76 million views on YouTube. The intense action sequences showcased in the teaser have built anticipation, with fans predicting the film to be a game-changer for Dhruva’s career.
With the excitement surrounding its release and the powerful connection Dhruva has built with his fans, Martin is poised to make a massive impact when it hits theatres on October 11, 2024.
