PC Shekar

PC Shekar, born smack in the heart of Bangalore, Karnataka, is one of those filmmakers who’s been quietly cranking out movies that stick with you way after the credits roll. If you haven’t heard his name, honestly, you’re probably not paying attention to what’s cooking in Kannada cinema. Dude’s got a solid reputation for telling stories that blend humor, drama, and a bit of real-life grit. “Romeo” from 2012? Total crowd-pleaser. It’s got the romance, the laughs, and more than a dash of that filmi chaos—stuff that makes you root for the underdog even when he’s screwing up left and right. Then there’s “Arjuna” in 2015, which isn’t your typical paint-by-numbers drama. Shekar knows how to mess with your expectations—one minute you think you know where it’s going, next thing you know, bam, he flips the script. His knack for pulling genuine emotions out of his cast makes the whole thing feel way more raw and immediate than your average flick. And yeah, “Bad” (2025) is coming up, and people are buzzing. Word is, he’s going to double down on all the things that made his earlier work pop—tight storytelling, punchy dialogue, and that slightly mischievous take on everyday life. At the end of the day, PC Shekar isn’t just tossing out movies for the sake of it. Each project feels personal, like he’s sneaking little bits of Bangalore into every frame. If you’re into films that hit a little different, his work’s worth a watch.
