Adding to this entertainment line-up, Zee Kannada is now all set to treat its viewers with yet another exciting World Television Premiere of 45, premiering on 22nd February at 4:30 PM. 45 is a fantasy action drama that blends philosophy with high octane sequences and emotional depth. Directed by acclaimed music composer Arjun Janya in his directorial debut, the film is produced by M. Ramesh Reddy under the Suraj Productions banner. Featuring a stellar ensemble cast and gripping storytelling, the film delivers a unique mix of supernatural elements, intense confrontations, and meaningful life lessons. With strong performances from Shiva Rajkumar, Upendra, and Raj B. Shetty, the film promises an engaging and thought-provoking watch for the entire family. 45 follows the story of Vinay (Raj B. Shetty), a carefree software engineer living a simple and content life with his mother and girlfriend Meghana. One unexpected moment changes everything when he accidentally runs over a black dog named Rosie, deeply loved by local-don Rayappa (Upendra). Grief-stricken and furious, Rayappa does not punish Vinay immediately but instead gives him 45 days to reflect on his actions, invoking the Garuda Purana’s concept of life after death. As fear grips Vinay, he begins experiencing disturbing dreams that predict real events, including his own fate. During this turmoil, he meets Shivanna (Shiva Rajkumar), a compassionate and strong-willed figure who becomes his guide and protector. As the countdown begins, Vinay must confront guilt, destiny, and a force that seems larger than life itself. Speaking about the premiere, Deepak Sriramulu, Chief Channel Officer-Zee Kannada & Business Head - Kannada Zee5, said, “The coming together of Hattrick Hero Shiva Rajkumar, Real Star Upendra and Raj B Shetty makes 45 a truly special film. Watching these three stalwarts share screen space is an electrifying experience, as each of them brings immense intensity, charisma and emotional depth to the story. This premiere is not just about a film; it is a celebration of three iconic performers uniting for our viewers on Zee Kannada.” Will Vinay escape his fate, or will the 45-day countdown lead him to an unavoidable destiny?
