Ramco Somanna

Ramco Somanna isn’t exactly a household name yet—unless you’re someone who keeps an eye on the Indian film scene, especially the Kannada industry. The guy’s face pops up in Murphy (2024), which, by the way, isn’t your run-of-the-mill drama. There’s this raw energy to the film, and Somanna brings this gritty, unpredictable edge to his role. You sort of get the feeling he’s not playing by anyone else’s rules, just doing his own thing, and it works. The movie itself dives into some pretty wild territory—think crime, betrayal, messy relationships—and Somanna’s performance is honestly hard to ignore. He’s not just there to fill up space; the dude owns his scenes, even when everything around him is falling apart. And don’t forget Head Bush (2022)—another notch on his belt. This one’s pretty different, more of a deep-dive into the underbelly of Bangalore’s politics and criminal world in the ‘70s and ‘80s. Somanna’s character isn’t the type who blends into the background. He holds his own amongst a cast of heavy hitters, and there’s this intensity in his eyes, like he’s just waiting to explode. The film itself is gritty, full of swagger, with a storyline that drags you through the mud and makes you question whose side you’re on. Somanna just seems to thrive in these chaotic worlds, chewing up the screen and spitting out performances that stick with you. If he keeps picking projects like these, you’ll be hearing his name a lot more.
