Blending humor and emotion, Bakasura Restaurant is a film crafted to entertain audiences for a full two and a half hours.
The team behind the film describes it as a cinematic feast that will leave viewers thoroughly satisfied.

Viva Harsha plays the title role, with Krishna Bhagavan, Shining Phani, KGF-fame Garuda Ram, and others appearing in key roles.
The film marks the directorial debut of SJ Shiva and is produced by Lakshmayya Achari and Janardhan Achari under the SJ Movies banner.
Marketed as a “hunger comedy entertainer,” the film is set for a global release on August 8.
The recently released songs and trailer have received a positive response. A pre-release event was held in Hyderabad, with actor Sudheer Babu attending as the chief guest.
Speaking at the event, Sudheer Babu said, “Praveen is one of my favorite actors. Whenever a director asks for casting suggestions, I always recommend him. He’s passionate about making every film successful. Now, he steps into a lead role with this movie. He’s not only a talented actor but also a kind-hearted person. I hope this film becomes a turning point in his career. Congratulations to the producers for creating such a fun-filled movie. Laughter should never be postponed—this film deserves to be enjoyed together with the whole family in theaters.”
Producer Janardhan Achari remarked, “The story is the real hero of this film, and the director has done a great job executing it. Along with Praveen, Viva Harsha, and the entire team, we’ve cooked up a delicious dish called Bakasura Restaurant. We hope audiences enjoy it. The film is being released under Dil Raju’s SV banner.”
Director SJ Shiva shared his journey, “I worked in the direction department of Virupaksha, which taught me a lot and helped me prepare for this debut. My brother stepped up to produce my first film. The story is enriched by outstanding music, and composer Vikas Badisa has a bright future. Praveen agreeing to do this film made it all possible. We’ve chosen actors who fit the story perfectly. Performances by Viva Harsha and Shining Phani will stand out. The film delivers more than what the trailer promises, with plenty of surprises and hearty laughter. It’s a full-fledged family entertainer.”
Lead actor Praveen added, “It’s a special moment to have the hero of Prema Katha Chitram—a film that changed our lives—as the guest today. I’m grateful to the director and producers for trusting me with this role. Vikas Badisa’s music has become the talk of the town. The entire technical team has worked tirelessly. When Shiva narrated the story, I had complete confidence in his vision. Bakasura Restaurant is a must-watch—a heartwarming, emotional, and fun-filled family entertainer.”
