UTTARAKHAND/  major and positive development has emerged for the film industry of Uttarakhand. A new Hindi feature film titled “Shikaar,” inspired by a gang war backdrop, will soon go on floors in Devbhoomi. The most significant aspect of this project is that local artists from Haridwar and across Uttarakhand are being given priority, raising hopes of a bigger platform for the state’s talent.
According to sources, the film “Shikaar” is being produced under the banner of Graphic India Films. The producer is Tina Chaudhary and the film is directed by Vineet Chaudhary. An official announcement is expected soon. The story is said to be based on a gang war backdrop and will follow a South-style pattern, blending crime, conflict, emotional highs and lows, and a strong social message. The director and producer claim that the film will not be limited to entertainment alone but will also highlight several unexplored aspects of society.
The lead role will be played by actor Akshar Bhardwaj, who has been active in the Mumbai film industry for several years. He has appeared in important roles alongside prominent actors and has earned recognition for his powerful performances. Now, he is set to return to Uttarakhand with a strong character for the audience.
Following “Shikaar,” several more film projects are reportedly planned under the same banner, and all of them will prioritize artists from Uttarakhand. Akshar Bhardwaj has stated that his primary objective is to provide a platform to talented artists from the state. There are many performers in Uttarakhand with remarkable acting skills, but due to a lack of proper opportunities and guidance, their talent often remains unseen. Through “Shikaar,” such artists will get a golden opportunity to showcase their abilities in front of the camera.
The shooting will take place in Haridwar and nearby scenic locations, allowing the natural beauty of Uttarakhand to be showcased on the big screen. This will not only benefit local artists but also boost film production activities in the state.
Overall, “Shikaar” could mark a new beginning for the Uttarakhand film industry. With strong local participation and a compelling storyline, the film is preparing to create a distinct identity among audiences. Now, all eyes are on when this much-awaited project officially goes on floors and what new cinematic experience it will bring to viewers.
