For his latest superhit film Kaatera, which talks about farmers, Challenging Star Darshan has been honoured with the title “Bhoomi Putra” (Son of the Land).
Darshan is a classic example of “You can love him or not, but you simply cannot ignore him”. Such is the persona of the star actor, a force to reckon with in Sandalwood.
Darshan is adored with several titles by his diehard fans for his exemplary work as an actor and social services, including his unconditional love for animals.
He is popularly known as “Challenging Star” or the “Box Office Sultan” for shattering the box-office records on various occasions.
His latest release Kaatera (2023), based on a real-life incident, focuses on farmers’ issues during the introduction of the law: “Tiller is the owner of the land” act. The film was well-received by the audience, especially farmers. In fact, the film entered the ₹100-crore club.
The Kaatera team is celebrating the successful run of their film for 25 days. Marking the occasion, the farmers association honoured the star actor with the title “Bhoomi Putra” on Friday, 26 January.
Humbled by the gesture of the farmers, Darshan thanked them for their support and for loving his film Kaatera.
“The four main pillars of the Kannada film industry are – Dr Rajkumar, Dr Vishnuvardhan, Dr Ambareesh, and Shankar Nagar. The rest are senior actors, filmmakers, and technicians. We are just a small support,” said Darshan.
Farmers honouring Darshan with the title also came on the sidelines of the 75th birth anniversary of farmer leader and MLA late KS Puttannaiah. His son Darshan Puttannaiah, a farmer leader and MLA (representing the Melukote State Assembly Constituency in Karnataka), was present.
